“Mágica the Mushroom was a bandit. A bad dude. A doer of heists. A gunslinger. He was notorious all over. All who crossed his path were quickly robbed of their sense of time and space, their surety in the fundamental foundations of existence and any feeling of separateness from the whole”

Habib in Mali, who I drew via Zoom a couple of weeks ago for my #NickDrawsNationals pandemic portraits project. It’s not often I get to draw a bonafide celebrity during this project, but Habib Koité is legit famous as a Malian guitarist who has toured the world, worked with famous US blues artists, and released many hit albums. It was a pleasure and honour to meet him. I like my drawing, although he said his face looks too “rond”. I did most of the drawing after our session, from video stills – there were a lot of interruptions and technical glitches during our call. I think this is the first time I’ve drawn someone with dreads – I sometimes feel like a barber, chatting away while working on my subject’s hairdo! An important detail to point out: the amulet Habib wears around his neck to ward off evil spirits. The stripes on his top are the common African flag colours red, green and gold. 🇲🇱 I’m tempted to colour them in! #nickdrawsneighbours #drawing #portrait #portraitdrawing #portraiture #birodrawing #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpoint #neighbours #sketching #artinlockdown #artinisolation #isolationart #NickDrawsNationals (at Portslade, West Sussex, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CqabulHoioT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Dish of the day! What on the plate of this #squirrel? The January @scrawlrbox was a unique one, especially the colour palette. I really like the @seawhiteofbrighton #concertinasketchbook and the @derwentartofficial blender pen can create some interesting effects with the #ballpointpen and #colouredpencil. . . . . #scrawlrboxchallenge #scrawlrbox #scrawlrchallenge #artchallenge #challenge #germanart #germanartist #instaartist #instaart #artistsoninstagram #zeichnen #drawing #share_drawings #share_sketches #ballpointpenart #pencildrawing #colourpencilart #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart (hier: Potsdam, Germany) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp7yggZt9nI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
