Cricketers’ Arms, John Street, Sheffield

I took a walk with my camera down to Bramall Lane in Sheffield. Thought I would look at getting a pic of one of the famous pubs which would be well known to supporters of Sheffield United.

I decided on The Cricketers’ Arms on John Street; a pub which I have personally visited on a few occasions. I have to say that I never went on match days as you can’t get near the bar!

It was a dull day so quite a challenge to get a “bright” picture. However I took the picture knowing that I was going to hand draw and colour the image so a great exposure was unnecessary.

Hope you like the end result.

I applied it to the Brothers Arms pub in Heeley, Sheffield. No surprise here, as I spent most of my youth in there 😊

What do you think of the technique? Comments/Suggestions below.

I have also drawn this and the other Heeley pubs in a more traditional manner. These can be seen here.

Launch Day!

Hi, and welcome to my new website.

I created the site not to just showcase my photography and art, but to also share my journey as I develop my skills.

During the next few months I will be concentrating on digital artwork and adding more buildings to my portfolio. The ones I have in mind are;

  1. Bramall Lane (The home of football)
  2. Hillsborough (not that I really want to😊 )
  3. Sheffield Town Hall…………………………..Then moving to Manchester…….
  4. Salford Lads Club
  5. The Star and Garter
  6. Peveril of the Peak
  7. Britons Protection
  8. Deaf Institute

I am always happy to receive suggestions and comments so please feel free to comment below;
