Everyday Sketching

  A light bulb moment last night when I had to hide a woman’s profile with the floating lemon tart… This page is a bit of an exaggeration but I think it is a trap that I have been finding myself fall into. Also, I realised last night trying to do work in two journals...

Anita was certain, that after my resolution to only do one spread per day, I would still do two today! Well, she was right… and wrong. I did 3!! (In fact there is another 3/4 completed sketch in my daily sketchbook of the cup, saucer and pots from tonight’s cuppa after late night shopping!… as...

  I was flat out today- no lunch break and 3 back to back meetings. However, after last nights inspiration, I found myself naturally observing the noses around the table. Although I always had the project manager sitting right next to me, I managed to sneak a few scribbles in the back of my work...

Everyday Sketching

    As I am hoping to do 2 spreads per day… my plan of attack is to sketch from life at lunchtime and at night to doing reading/research from the various reference books. Here is a random page on mouths I don’t sketch on Sundays (a day off) so Saturday is a double day… If...
