Drawing: Neil Gaiman

Regular readers will know that my painting arm, my right, has been out of action for a couple of months and so my other arm, my left, has been in training - learning to draw and to paint. Well here’s an early drawing with my left hand - done about 6 weeks ago - of Neil Gaiman.

(Ink on a single page of a Canson 9″ x 12″ Sketchbook)

I have a load more drawings like this, mostly portraits from people’s Twitter avatars, but also some cityscapes. At the moment though the left-hand is finally painting, trying to make up for the non-production of the right-hand.

Hopefully I’ll be able to share some new paintings with you very soon, and I might also share some more drawings (though I’d need to scan them - this one I took a photo of and then had to spend a bit of time cleaning it up). Either way I will continue to post photos as I have been for the last month or so.

Drawings by the Right Hand, and Some Photos:
   • Drawing of Genoa, Italy
   • Dublin West: A Boy and His Pony
   • Teabags On A Window Sill
   • Sketchbook Figures
   • Dublin, A Horse

    Really fine, Eolai! Now, don’t work so hard with the left hand that it ends up in the same fix as the right…

    Brilliant. Eolaí gan Fhéile ( @eolai ) is teaching himself to draw with his left hand (his right is poorly)
