Charcoal Dust and Magic!

These first 6 weeks of 2014 have been a mad sketch fest!

 

I’ve been drawing almost every day – from working drawings for design projects to commissions, portraits and illustrations – the majority of it BMX related. I’ve burnt through more charcoal pencils than I can count, and had a lot of fun in the process.

 

Here’s a small selection of some of my portrait sketches from the last few weeks, starting with a little time lapse video of a quick sketch of Brett Down’s (of the Plywood Hoods) daughter Kelly…
