Been doing a bit of #portrait practice by using online reference by #rawumberlive. #art Still enjoying the Nitram charcoal.

The Guardian has today joined the creative industries in a nationwide campaign to highlight the risks around content being given away for free to AI firms. You can read more about how to get involved here: newsmediauk.org/make-it-fair/

What a mind blowing place is this!

That’s 62 solar orbits done.

Just discovered BlueSky offers a filter to block content containing certain words. I don’t want to hear about three individuals. And with a puff of logic, they are gone.

People in #sheffield - Go see the Pete McKee exhibition at the Weston Park museum. It’s a joyful biography with charming pictures (and a free Space Invader cabinet).

Art World, AI, cheating. And in the end it's all just about money... Great research by @Jakedontdraw youtu.be/_nEkGCRW5uk?...

Some more #charcoal #lifedrawing from yesterday. These were fast sketches 5 and 10 mins. #art

Another life drawing class. Experimenting with value masses and charcoal. Repeatedly overdrawing, blending and carving with eraser.

Decided to unfollow political accounts. Being aware of these issues isn’t doing me any good. I can’t change the outcomes. Will follow artists and creators.

Ok, so the #lifedrawing is going to be a regular weekly thing. Got a couple of decent drawings from Sunday. #art #charcoal Censored, lest I upset the delicate sensibilities of the filter.

Working on an #oilportrait. It’s intentionally dark but hard to get a good photo. Think it needs a couple of tweaks to the drawing.

I generally like Star Trek, so I attempted to watch Section 31. This was clearly a mistake, I am sorry and I won’t do it again.

Going to call this painting finished. I painted the same scene before and thought a bigger painting would be fun. Oil on board. #art #oilpainting #figurativeart

Went back to the #lifedrawing.

I much prefer portraits to figures - but went to life drawing yesterday and I think my work has improved a bit. #lifedrawing #charcoal

Another attempt with the Nitram charcoals. #art #portraitart #charcoal.

Got some Nitram vine charcoal for Christmas. Never used them before. This is first sketch. #charcoal #portrait.

Oil on board. A quick painting of a raven. (Sold.) #art #oilpainting

I bought some oil medium (stuff to make the paint more oily). I painted this. Not sure if the likeness is good but had a lot of fun smearing the paint around. #oilpainting #oilportrait

Experimenting with super fast - super loose portraits on the iPad. #art #speedportrait #procreate
