Rye

 I'm not really a fan of drawing things that I have no interest in. Hence it's always faces of people and animals that I draw or paint. However, sometimes I'm know to branch out a little bit. I had some time off work, and I currently live in a crappy part of the country, so I went on a day trip to Rye, Sussex. It's a small village, that is full of quirky and interesting buildings. Dave McKean, probably my favourite illustrator/artist exhibits there, and has a new show in September called Blue Tree opening soon.
I'm rambling again. Right, I thought I'd better get used to drawing things I've had trouble with in the past. Which it seems are things that are unforgiving when it comes to perspective, it's not that I can't draw them, it's more it is more difficult getting it right straight away.Also I have the tendency to avoid drawing from life, mainly I seem to attract people to me who ask me questions and I don't like that so much. So, I sat down and drew the basic line-work on location, took a couple of photos and finished them at home.
