• dragonsmallMy New Book Dragon Gold was published last week. Lean more at https://www.shoorayner.com/dragongold

    I’ve been practicing how to draw dragons and have worked out quite an easy way to draw them. There’s a lot going on, But if you follow the instructions, it shouldn’t be too hard. Good luck!

  • How-to-draw-the-atomiumI went to Brussels this week and was drawing monuments from around the world with the Children at the British International School. Rosaria and Pandora will be doing a French project next week and I said I would show them how to draw the Atomium in Brussels. It is not easy!

    Good luck!


  • Eurosketchbook-smallSaturday saw the 2014 Eurovision Song contest. I drew all the way through and tweeted the results as I went along. It was exhausting!

    Each song is about 2 minutes long, the camera can sometimes take 30 seconds to focus in on the singer – very frustrating. I have to choose who is the person to draw and go with it.
    I suppose I take a snapshot in my mind and do the best I can. The camera doesn’t stay on the person you want for very long, and then an ice skater appears so you never get to see the drawing subject again!

    It requires speed, concentration and stamina! The next song was usually starting as I was still tweeting the previous drawing.

    Hope you enjoy.
