Found object: pastel box paper
This piece of paper fluttered out when I opened up my box of pastels to draw a quick sketch for Monday’s post on drawing with straight lines. It’s just a bit of tracing paper that’s there to prevent the lid of the box getting marked, I assume, but I really like the effect of all […]

Eight random things about me
Helena at Little Sketches tagged me in a meme. Thanks Helena! It’s quite exciting because I don’t think I’ve ever participated in an art meme before - and yet, they are perfect Draw Anyway fodder, being a source of inspiration and a motivation to complete a drawing, all in one. The trickle-down effect also means […]

Why draw?
Rudimentary bed sketch

Drawing buildings the Darryl Cunningham way
We are very lucky to have a post by Darryl Cunningham today. Darryl, whose regular strip has recently started appearing on the Forbidden Planet blog, is an illustrator and cartoonist who specialises in very detailed cityscapes, so writing about buildings seems the obvious choice.
Darryl writes: I don’t know how to teach people to draw buildings, […]

Christmas card competition
At the risk of becoming a blog purely about competitions, I thought I’d just mention a intriguing contest being run by Moo cards just now. In case you don’t know, Moo are a company who cleverly segue with your Flickr account to allow for a very easy way to print business cards and postcards. Like […]

Housekeeping: new category on contact form
I’ve been meaning to do this for a while, but this is just to announce that there is a brand new category on the ‘reason for contact’ field of the Draw Anyway contact form: suggest a topic for a post.

Meanwhile, here’s the week’s round-up; do feel free to go back and add to the discussions.
> On Monday, the only ‘normal’ post of the […]
