Can you hear the fairground-music playing?

This is another Reddit gets drawn sketch – the request was entitled “My best friend is a balloon artist” – and the guy in the photo didn’t look nearly as scary as this drawing does. See the reference photo here

Hope he’ll forgive me!

And this was my 771th drawing since the 9th September 2014!

Here’s one of those Reddit gets drawn sketches of a Sheltie dog – A quite happy Sheltie dog, I might add!

See the reference photo here

I’ve drawn a few dogs already on my pet art portfolio – but no Shelties yet! I hope to get to make a commissioned portrait of a handsome dog like this at some point.

And this was my 770th drawing since the 9th September 2014!

Father an daugther on the run!

Here’s another reddit get drawn user asking for a drawing of this wonderful photo.

How could I not draw that!

I don’t know the first thing about parenting. (Haven’t got that far yet) – but it just seems to me that this guy is doing it right!

As for the sketch – It was really quick. I think I captured the dad’s expression even though it isn’t too precise, but the daughter seems pretty bored, which she isn’t in the photo. Sketching quickly is even harder when it’s this small!

Sketch of a kid who likes crabs in pena nd ink

A Reddit gets drawn sketch of a boy, who aparrently likes this brand of brightly packaged crabs. Sea-food is healthy, so I suppose it’s all good.

I went for pen and ink again – I think I went a little overboard with the ink in his face this time. I should have left it a little whiter at some places, but it can be hard to control with ink. Especially if you can’t bother to slow down and do it properly!

It just dawned on me that I ought to show you the reference photos that I use from these RDG sketches, since they’re already online, so let me start to do that from now on. Here this one

This was my 761’th sketch since 9th September 2014.
