Drawing ‘The Angry Bowler’ today. I’ve drifted back onto charcoal paper. Expensive but I’m getting punchy dark values.
Gertie
Just came across her while flicking through some cards. Long sold but such fun to draw.
I have no idea why I drew a giraffe that day but she's a one off!
Two of my prints have sold today.
The collector wanted to start his cricket art collection with England's two captains.
Fine way to start and wonderful that finally women's cricket is getting on people's walls.

If you’re wondering why I picked orange it’s because they are complimentary colours. One makes the other stand out.
Think blue sea and orange RNLI boat. It’s painted orange for a reason.

A little bit more progress.
Can you tell who’s involved in this tackle yet?
I wasn’t sure about just the charcoal so decided to back it up with some pastels.
I’m pausing there for tonight. I don’t know if I like it or not. I get angsty when I don’t stick to my initial plans.
You can over paint a subject, think I've done enough of Joe Root now, he's good to go.
