1 of 20 LITTLE LANDSCAPES


This is the first of a little ink landscape that will be sold for 50p/£1 at my daughter's school's Christmas fair. I've been volunteered to draw 100 pictures for the first week of December so part of what I'll do will be these landscape types and the remainder will be along the lines of my children's drawings. The money raised will go to charity so I can't even complain about the workload.

AFRICAN ELEPHANT INK SKETCH



Here I've drawn a quick sketch of an African elephant walking through shallow water in ink. When drawing living things I try and keep the sketch lively by rendering the marks quickly and without too much fuss. Of course with animals, being able to draw rapidly is often an essential requirement.

Ok, just a reminder that more of my work can be found on my website leightonnoyes.com. The work on this site is mainly my childeren's book work so please pop by and say hello.
