Artist and arch-procrastinator from the UK. Sharing my art and art that I love. Progress over perfection. Something over nothing.

A portrait in silverpoint, showing a middle aged man with pale hair looking directly at the viewer

A sketch portrait in coloured pencils of a young girl. She has pink bobbed hair, her eyes are closed, and she is wearing dark lipstick, painted like a doll's.
A charcoal sketch of a woman with short, dark curly hair. She's wearing a baggy jumper and has her hands tucked into her jeans pockets.

A painted portrait of a young man, in tones of green and blue. He is looking beyond the viewer, has styled short hair and wears glasses.
A charcoal portrait of a young woman in profile. She has long hair, a fringe and a neutral gaze.

A pencil drawing portrait of a man in his late twenties with a cigarette clenched between his teeth. He has a beard and is wearing a military style helmet. He is looking directly at the viewer.
