Sketches from a bus
I decided to try some sketches on my way to work. It's not easy on two counts. One: drawing on a bus and two: remove ring how things look as you zoom past

Saint Michael and the Devil tattoo design
Ive never designed a tattoo but I was commissioned to design one based on this painting by Guido Reni (1575-1642):
Here's the sketch, apologies as the scan didn't come out too well so I had play around with the contrast, but I hope you get the idea:
I will post a photo of the tattoo once its done.....
Nightmare#1
My daughter saw this and said 'Dad, whats wrong with you?'
A spot that was in fact a nest of baby spiders in it seems perfectly OK to me....

Hello World
Welcome to the first post on my online sketchbook.
My intention is to post some of the pictures that I have draw and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have drawing them. When I was younger I used to draw A LOT and over time I will post them and the worlds I created. So much so that at one point I got housemaids knee because I spent so much time hunched over kneeling. In my late teens I stopped drawing for reasons I wont bore you with, but over the last couple of years that love of drawing has been re-invigorated and boy, am I making up for lost time.
This fine gentleman is Owd Lad, he may be knocking on a bit, need to pee several times a night but he's more than a match for any Mountain Troll.
