Seven recent artworks. Sadly I lost the wireless dongle for my wacom tablet so I have had to go back to using a normal USB cable. I only owned the dongle for a week before it fell out of the drawing tablet when I was walking home. When I buy a new one in the future I will tape the battery in so that it doesn’t fall out. I have lost the cover for the wacom to keep the battery safe.
It was upsetting for the first couple of days that I lost it - basically the same as throwing 70 dollars down the drain. Anyway I think I’m over it now and just been drawing in my room mostly.
Created at Hamilton Python Users Group. For this meeting we didn’t have a speaker, instead we watched two videos from the recent pycon. I had seen both the videos but it was enjoyable to re-watch and see peoples reactions. The artwork includes notes from the when is it good to be bad talk.
Drawn during all you can eat hells pizza. Landscapes, towers, a magical forest.
I’m doing a course on statistics. Started taking notes on it but got distracted and did Pepper and Carrot sketches instead.
Thursday night I attended Hamilton Book Club. These are the notes that I took during the meeting. I hadn’t finished the book myself. People really seemed to enjoy it. It annoyed me that the characters did not have names.
Getting back to some World Trade Centre artwork using photograph and diagram references.
More Word Trade Centre artwork - photo reference of Windows of the World restaurant.

Artwork from the June wlug meeting, Vision Collage App meetup and life drawing.
This was drawn before wlug.
Life drawing. Peter a regular from the group was the model. It’s the first time since I started attending life drawing in Hamilton that we had a male model - it was a nice change.
I liked the pose and drawing on the right. The circle bald spot on his head is shown - surrounded by spiky straight hair. His arms rested on his knees. These were 5 minute poses.
Sitting pose. This was a 10 minute pose that was drawn before the break. Instead of sitting looking out the window I decided to sit on the other side of the room - looking out towards the kitchen and toilets. The ladies bathroom door is visible.
After the break a long 40 minute pose. I used dots on the figures leg in order to show the spotty completion of that area of the body. On the bottom is a portrait of a fellow artist. The USB cable for my power pack and unstable so I don’t like walking around the room with the Pi, forcing me to stay in the same spot. Need a new USB cable!
I like the portrait on the left. It has a nice style and it’s captured the likeness of the model.
The warm up poses for the day. A series of 2 minute poses. Peter was excellent with the use of props - a wooden stick and chairs.
Imagination landscape.
On Thursday night I attended an IT meet up at Vision Collage. These were the notes I took during the meet up from the three speakers.

Notes taken during WLUG June meeting. The topic was systemd. It was interesting and I learnt some new commands.
