Day 005: Draw Every Day in 2025

Hello everyone!

I hope your Sunday is as good as you need it to be.

This morning, I drew this picture of a T Rex, based on a drawing tutorial by Mark Kistler (I’ve been learning to draw with Mark for a year now). Check out his YouTube channel here.

My drawing was sountracked by a couple of albums by Chris Brain, Steady Away and Bound to Rise. I really enjoyed them so I headed over to Bandcamp to buy them and preorder the new album. I try to support artists by buying their work not just streaming.

After drawing I did some exercises and then began to stack the wood that was delivered yesterday. Listened to a couple of podcasts (Atlas Obsura, This American Life, and The Moth) while stacking.

I’m taking a break now, just had late breakfast (midday!), and drinking a coffee while posting this. I’ll be back to stacking afterwards.

Have a great day, whatever you get up to !

Big Love and Hugs ❤️

Draw Every Day in 2025: Day 2025

Today, I got up at 7 (usual time: I have to inject our diabetic cat!), and after sorting the cats out I lit the fire and started drawing.

This is Space Kitties, based on a tutorial by Mark Kistler (I’ve been drawing with him for a year now). Check out his YouTube channel.

This morning my drawing was sountracked by Rae Morris (her album Rachel@Pianoland), Ezra Glatt (the album Endless and November Ultra (the album Bedroom Walls

Around midday we had a delivery of firewood so got that in (before expected rain) and took our dog for his annual vaccinations

Have a lovely Saturday everyone!

Love and Hugs ❤️

Day 003, Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning!

Today, I drew this musical seahorse, based on the tutorial by Mark Kistler (Check out his YouTube channel here)

My drawing was sountracked this morning by the wonderful Rachel Sermanni, a Scottish singer songwriter. I listened to her albums Dreamer Awake and So It Turns.

Rachel is one of the singer/songwriters who contributed an end song to the excellent podcast Strangers on a Bench. It is my favourite podcast of 2024

Have a lovely day.

Big Love and Hugs ❤️

Day 002, Draw Every Day in 2025

Good morning!

It’s the second of January 2025.

I drew this, this morning:

It was based on a drawing tutorial by Mark Kistler (you can find his YouTube channel here)

While drawing, I listened to the soundtrack to the podcast Strangers on a Bench, as well as an album by the host of the podcast, Tom Rosenthal.

The podcast features some really beautiful songs, all based on the stories of the Strangers on a Bench Tom speaks to. The songs are written and performed by different singer songwriters (so a great way to discover new artists to listen to). The music is perfect to draw to.

It was a beautiful start to the day. While walking the dog, I stopped for a moment to stand and admire the earth’s art as the sun painted the sky

Have a wonderful day.

Love and Hugs ❤️

Bruce
