Mrs Claus

Just before christmas I saw an article about Miguel Endara and how he created a photo realistic image of a homeless man using the stippling technique. The stippling technique is creating an image made entirely from dots. I had seen some of Miguel's other stippling work in the past and always wanted to try it. After seeing his latest piece I decided to give it a try.

I knew that it was going to take a long time to do so I had to choose something that I didn't mind looking at for a long time. I chose my beautiful girlfriend Ruth d'Andilly-Clune.

Ruth wearing a loverly santa hat, to show it was around christmas.


After taking the photograph of which I was going to work from I started the template of my drawing.




I started out with a pencil line template, I then started stippling Ruth.





The finished piece my Mrs Claus



Here's a few beauty shots of the piece taken by Ruth d'Andilly-Clune







And here's the piece next to the photograph...

Another Slow Day at the Office.

Another slow day at the primary school, saw me with too much free time on my hands. I decided to put pen to paper and draw something.

Today saw me draw one of my girlfriends favourite music artist David Bowie.
