You can almost hear is feet tapping in this Fiona -it really is alive. Great

Thanks everyone! There is lots wrong with this I’m afraid but as long as there is a bit of swing! I expect the normal footwear would have been clogs of some kind.

Looks like a jig to me. But defiantly foot tapping.

What a lovely sketch, Fiona. Is there a coloured version to come?

Nicely drawn, but I am not entirely sure how I feel about rough paper on pencil drawings, personally I have found it a bit of a wind up. It does kind of suit this though so maybe its down to style.

He looks a wonderful character, and I love your sketch.

Smashing work Fiona. Keep it coming...

Can almost hear him Fiona, great action drawing.

It's a good drawing Fiona. A monoprint would work well in this simple form.

A very good sketch full of character.

I totally agree with the others, Fiona. You have a great drawing here with the cleeking and swinging William. What does 'cleeking' mean? LOL. Great movement and concentration. I half expect to see a beer perched on a small table just within reach. Great suggestive study. Brian

Action personified, Fiona. Great sketch

You are a lovely lot, you humble me with your generous feedback on my atrocious drawings! Lol However the effect is, that it encourages me to do more, so I’m always hoping that in time I WILL improve! Thank you very much. X

Pencil sketch, 4b&6b. Carrying on with the Gypsy theme, this is William Marshall who was known as King of the local gypsy community. I will probably have a go at a monoprint of this auld character.
