Blimey Pete, you've kept that skill quiet! Very nice... not a duff Duff at all... did you keep this skill going, or did it all go technical and architectural?

 

Many thanks Jon...i guess it went the way of the parallel motion...but I still keep drawing everyday if I can in my sketchbook.

 

Looking back at the drawing now I can see a few perspective issues with the cabside of the 47!

 

Still waiting for you to do a Deltic in pencil...

 

Really enjoying seeing the variety of mediums on this thread :yes:

Yes, it's on the list... near the top in fact. Just trying to prioritise all these little tasks that keep getting put off by life in general.

 

As for the perspective... yea, ok.... I see that now, but you're criticising the work of a 15 year old whose work has subsequently become astonishing; I think a little perspective is needed in the reviewer here :rolleyes: ... as I certainly need to do when I look back at my old works.. a big bucketfull of salt is always on standby.

Okay, I said I'd show something of mine. Please be gentle...

Ok.. so why do I like this... apart from the obvious, it was the train that I spent my 40th Birthday on travelling from York to London... well done for braving the crowds at 't cross! What a day... thanks for the memories (must put my photos on my flick account!)

Rich B, you're obviously a Man from the Midlands, I recognise Round Oak and Netherton off hand, and that one of 9603 looks familiar.

 

A couple of my own pieces:

None within the realms of the quality as shown elsewhere in this thread, but I thought I'd share...

Theres a suitable joke here but it'll get me in a lot of trouble, still fantastic work.

Not at all. There is a subtle joke in there. Some more are here: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.177059345680872.49274.165704553483018&type=3

 

Now I must get to bed!

Oh, go on then... three more from me, all South Wales scenes, again adapted from photographs. I forget the location of this one, Cwm Bargoed or somewhere, but it's a pair of 56xxs on a coal train, oil on board.

The second one is Crumlin Viaduct, acrylic this time, and based around a Colin Gifford photo.

Finally, back to oils for this Barry Docks scene:
