Two cling ons

Two characters drawn clinging onto a toilet roll using a blue biro

Let’s not beat about the bush. I was going for the ‘cling on’ pun from the outset. Never heard of a cling on? Then try looking it up in the Urban Dictionary. On second thoughts don’t. You’ll be better off without the mental image. Instead, just imagine it’s about these two sweet little characters ‘clinging on’ to a loo roll for dear life.

But why draw on a loo roll at all? Well, I was sitting in my car. I was bored. A loo roll was the only availble source of paper. I guess you really could call this disposable art!

Still life using felt-pens and spit

A still-life sketch of a plant using felt-tip pens and spit

It’s official, spitting is an art (when it’s aimed at paper that is, not the pavement). Actually, it’s a great way to blend colours, especially when using water soluble pens. Which I tend to do more than I should – the result of having kids and a ready supply of felt-tip pens.

I did this sketch while my son was learning his times-tables, which meant I had to draw quickly! I found the result a little scratchy so used my finger, and a small amount of spit, to soften the picture. You might be thinking why not just use water – you know, from a tap. Well, that would require extra effort, and isn’t half as fun!
