Finally made it to lunchtime figure drawing again...

Quick paint-up!

From today's lunchtime workshop. 10 mins.

And a few more from last week's workshop...

From today's lunchtime workshop...

More play-practice and exploration!

Random shape...

Stream-of-thought drawing...

Zoots was out for blood after his back-alley steampunk reassignment surgery was interrupted.

Accidents happen to everyone.

Dame Judi Dench was fierce in Pride and Prejudice...there may be more drawings to come of her.
