Its strange looking back at this sketchbook. I cannot think of anything to say about what I was thinking at the time because I don’t think I was thinking anything. I was just going through the motions

I should simplify things more often.

Trawling charity shops turns up unexpected books for reference; Villas In Dresden is my new work horse.

Gosh, more sketchbook work. I’m afraid this thing is filled with nothing but observational.

The handy thing about uploading sketchbook work months later is I can link to the work it helped create. Voilà

I’m a strong believer in first hand research, where you go out, find your subject and then draw it like a thief.

So on the first page of this sketchbook I felt compelled to write my own name, lease I forget and then the words ‘Sketchbook’, like a simpleton who forgets their own name.

Where as I find it vital to keep a sketchbook; to log ideas; hone techniques; draw strangers and write cuss words, I’m unfortunately not as driven to upload the nonsense as I draw it. So I find my self sitting with my scanner and two and half sketchbooks worth of blogger fodder. Yippee.

This book is the first sketchbook I’ve made by hand. I used a heavy dutch calligraphy paper on the inside and an old fashioned starched cloth for the cover. Although its unremarkable to look at, it does mark the beginning of a new hobby.

Last night playing around with my coloring pencils I drew this little fella. Expect more spiders. The previous sentence would make the most horrifying anonymous voice mail message.
