Belle in Drawings: One Year On
It has been a year since we lost one of Look & Draw’s best-loved models.
Belle was a familiar presence at life drawing sessions, often settling herself beside the human model—and sometimes becoming the one everyone chose to draw instead. She also had a habit of getting into a carefully arranged still life where she wasn’t meant to be, turning herself into part of the composition.
Over the years, she appeared in so many sketches, monoprints, charcoal drawings and paintings. Looking through them now brings back lovely memories of her comforting presence in the classroom: sleeping through poses, wandering unashamedly over everyone’s drawings, making sure we all knew she was the real star, and becoming part of the drawn work herself.
I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who drew Belle and captured something of her character. I have so many drawings of her, but here is a selection celebrating a very special model who is still greatly missed.

I think the most interesting part of DM First is how differently people can experience the same gameplay. Everyone has their own way of understanding the rules and making decisions, which makes the discussions around it quite interesting.

Overall, I enjoy game discussions more when the comments are based on genuine observations and personal experiences. Goa Games Everyone can have a different perspective, and respectful conversations between players can make the topic much more interesting.
