Here are the drawings for the past few weeks. I took my drawing gear out to a cafe and to cronulla, but mostly been drawing from home and with no reference.
![june20portpi](/galleries/2020/06/19/june20portpi.png)
This was drawn in Cronulla. It’s one of my favourite spots to draw - just sitting on the bench and looking out over the water and building. The focus on this is the buildings though.
![dotworld](/galleries/2020/06/19/dotworld.png)
A skinny tall character with lots of circles. More than usual (though there are a few clouds in the sky).
![personmask](/galleries/2020/06/19/personmask.png)
Masks are all the rage. I have 50. The character is wearing a mask. Clouds in the sky, spikes on the mountains. Water in the foreground. There are a circles inside the mountains.
