Only by drawing often
"It is only by drawing often, drawing everything, drawing incessantly, that one fine day you discover to your surprise that you have rendered something in its true character." (Camille Pissarro)
So it is the last day of December and the last day of 2011, and I have one more drawing to make for my current album. Tomorrow I will open up a new album and hope to…

"TsimF***is" Look him up on YouTube. Aside from his potty mouth, I thought he was adorable and felt the urge to draw him. This is my rendition.…

Drawing, December 30
Today I thought I had to get a bit more "real". I so need to go back to figure drawing class, I am trapped in photo rendering/copying right now... it is enjoyable but is not leading me down a useful path, I feel. So today I switched on the drawing tool and set it to a 30-second interval…

"THE SWEETEST FREAK OF ALL" I fell in love with this freak when I saw Tod Browning's 1932 film, "Freaks".

I liked what Gary did with the photo app to break this image up into its constituent parts, and it made a good drawing exercise. I am happy with the…

Day 26 of 30 DAYS OF DRAWING
One of four or five 2-5 minutes sketches I did while working for my 100 year old doctor today. You can see the others on my facebook page if you're interested. Didn't have time for a real drawing but I figured these were good fast practice anyway. I call them "Waiting For Dr G." …

DAY 25 OF 30 DAYS OF DRAWING
Not a very good likeness of her and a sloppy job. Perhaps I'll re-do her another day. I could not concentrate today due to all the interruptions from phone calls and text messages. It is Christmas you know.…

Nova Artist Color (my shameless plug for the day)
Hey all,

They have amazing artist quality paint at a great price, with everything manufactured on site at their factory/store in Culver City. If your in the area, stop on by, and if not, order from their website (they don't actually sell through retailers). You can also request a…

This is getting harder and harder... Today I had to really make an effort and this is a copy of a piece of graffiti art from near my home in London. I like the picture but found it a real chore to force myself to draw today, it was just ONE OF THOSE DAYS!! Anyway... I made a…

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
