Pencil drawings

A couple of recent pencil drawings. Not too impressed with them, must try harder!

Whale jawbone.

Syphilitic skull. As you can see I didn't put much effort into the cotton wool.

A few new drawings from the last week or so.

A frog skeleton

Remains of a bomb that was dropped from a zeppelin during WWI.

I plan to start doing more pencil drawings this week.

Today's drawing

A fossilized ichthyosaur head from an exhibition of curios that's currently on at Edinburgh University. Quite pleased with it actually!

A few recent photos (and a drawing!)

Herewith some photos:

Terracotta lantern army in Edinburgh


An old paint palette I found. Worryingly it looks better than most of my paintings.


Wall of Tennent's girls from Wellpark Brewery.


Check out this weird creepy eye from the subway. That definitely makes me feel safe.  


Van from the Tranport Museum. I love these kind of vans!


And finally, a drawing! After a few museum trips at lunchtime recently, I decided to start doing some drawing while I'm there. I do love a good drawing-trip to the museum.

A quick post.


I took this pic of the sun setting over Grangemouth the other day. Dramatic!


 



A couple of old drawings of the oil refinery / chemical works. 

I realised how today how pitifully few drawings I've posted on this blog. Mind you, I haven't really been doing much lately. I'll need to try and get back on it - I do have a few things in the works!

Pineapple House


A house. With a pineapple on top. What a smashing idea. Much more practical than a banana. Who'd want to live in a banana?
