He looks how I feel first thing in the morning, except my feet are the the right way round.😀 She reminds me of a tv character, but I can’t think who. Two more super characters, Lew.

Yes Seth, I'm calling it artistic license. The woman is a actress in some Dickensian thing, I don't know her name, I just wanted to draw the expression.

I think both drawings are a great feet of artistry.

Jokey stuff again, Lewis, brilliant laugh! Especially Tony's comment!!!

Just keep turning them out Lew. All of them are daily joys. Love the sleep walker and the woman is so well painted.

Your sketchbooks are treasures...for sure!

you could have said " can you spot my deliberate mistake" ? certainly adds new meaning to toeing the line.

I love that surprised look on that woman's face, excuse the pun but it's a picture 😂

Thanks to all for your comments. Sadly Mike, it was not a DELIBERATE mistake, but I decided to leave it. It might be an age thing. Just as sadly, the sleepwalker is more interesting WITH the mistake than without it.

She's brilliant and you get lots done in five minutes.

Well he still seems able to walk ok considering his toe problem! I’d like to know what she’s looking at? Is she one of your Dickens ladies?

Posted by Tessa Gwynne on Sat 16 Jun 11:13:47

Indeed! Fab all the same! The lady is marvellous.

They are both great Lewis, I like your "deliberate" mistake with the sleepwalker, and the lady looks so good!

There's a mistake in the sleepwalker sketch...I needn't say what it is, it'll poke you in the eye. It's a very quick sketch maybe 5 minutes or so, with me crouched over the sketchbook and making the cardinal mistake of not stepping away now and then. Even so, I'm amazed I made it. Easily corrected, of course, but it made me chuckle so I've left it. The woman is done in coloured pencil at an art group session.
