3 / 3: Drawing Diary: simply some1's drawing diary :) 

'nuther Weds. nite drawing each other in the back room of an old pub with the 'shoal of art meet up group' I love drawing with other people who love drawing. most drawers r so not bothered how good or shite it might be but just get a buzz drawing and drawing and drawing. Love trying new stuff - fuck-ups r always welcome as it's a good indication that ive gone out of my comfort zone. There's such a variety of lovely people with totally different styles... sometimes when i see some of the other stuff i feel so awe struck i think i should either just try and copy them or even give up all 2gether!! but even when i have days when i feel all my pictures r total crap i just feel so gr8 simply doing them and feel so positive after that i would still draw anyway wotever :) !!

'nuther Weds. nite drawing each other in the back room of an old pub with the 'shoal of art meet up group' ( >   http://www.meetup.com/ShoalofArt/events/230803967/  )

I love drawing with other people specially at the end of the day. Love trying new stuff - fuck-ups r always welcome as it's a good indication that ive gone out of my comfort zone. There's such a variety of lovely people with totally different styles... sometimes when i see some of the other stuff i feel so awe struck i think i should either just try and copy them or even give up all 2gether!! but even when i have days when i feel all my pictures r total crap i just feel so gr8 simply doing them and feel so positive after that i would still draw anyway wotever :) !!

Diary p3: saturday musicdrinksketch

SAt. 21st May '16

SAt nite music in the bar  
had a jolly time in the jolly village ( but on the outskirts of london!) club listening to live music which one of my sisters invited me to -  singer + rhythm and bass and just did some slapdash sketches... 
now that i'm putting them on my blog i realise i shoulda also taken a coupla fotos of the actual band / people / bar ... oh well i'll do that next time round - gotta learn from one's mistakes i guess (  which should mean when i get to be 100 i'm gonna be very wise indeed:) !!    )
ABOUT THE DRAWINGS:   drawings of band / some people propping up the bar and the ScraggyNotePad i use 

( SNP - if i go draw in certain places - cafs, bars, buses, etc i like to take a home made pad -  i feel more relaxed and i've noticed others around r also more chilled 

- SNP = just bits of A4 paper maybe A4 or otherwise folded in 1/2 or 1/4s held 2gether with some sort of clippy thing :)  ) 
         

                  
   One of my many Scraggy Note Pads  :) !!Friday, 20 May 2016

fri. 20th May '16
Went sketching this afternoon - bunch of us - bout - wot? 5 or 10 people maybe 15ish, all just chilling out drawing... remembered when i was a kid and then adolescent and even as an adult i'd feel weird if i'd draw so i'd feel really awkward adn strange. now - specially with meet up + facebook groups i find loads of people r doing it :) And nother thing is it's all types of people / ages etc & all different styles :)

for any fellow drawers ( or any sort of hobby really ) who dont already know i  really recommend u chk out facebook groups and meetup.com ... here's the one i goes to fridays but like i say theres loads more besides http://www.meetup.com/Cafe-Sketchers/  :) !!
