Blind sketches from the Anthony McCall ‘Solid Light’ exhibition at Tate Modern. I drew people interacting with the light and then added the beams of projected light on top with a randomly selected neocolor 2 crayon #solidlight #sketchingfromlife #tatemodern

Outlines of people lifting their hands and various other bits of their bodies drawn in graphite pencil with purple crayon triangles and semi circles drawn in top. This is in a sketchbook that is being held over a window looking down into the street

Getting up early is hard! Hand drawn comic by me in pastels and blue ink, assembled in Procreate

Handmade comic with 6 panels in blue ink with yellow and blue pastel background.

Panel 1 - a woman in an Icelandic jumper reads 3 news stories saying that exercise early in the morning is good for you. The panel is yellow
Panel 2 - the woman tells a man that she is going to get up at 5am tomorrow to do some exercise. The man is shocked. The panel is yellow
Panel 3 - the woman is lifting weights while a clock shows 5am in the corner. There is a plant looking droopy to her left. The panel is mostly in blue pastel with a little bit of yellow at the top left
Panel 4 - the woman is stretching while the word, “Yawn” stretches with her. The panel is now 50/50 in blue and yellow and the plant looks less droopy
Panel 5 - there are legs flying off to the right of the panel while the word, “yikes!” is outlined in a star shape. The panel is now mostly yellow with a small bit of blue in the bottom right and the plant is fully awake.
Panel 6 - the woman and the man are asleep in bed while a clock shows 5am and the sentence, “maybe I’ll try again in the summer” is written over their bed. This panel is entirely in a blue sleep bubble
