From my sketchbook - Playing with pattern...Jouer avec détail


I'm trying to get more detail & pattern into my work. 
These pattern boxes are some of the most fun studies I've done.

I sit and doodle whilst watching TV, at dinner, on the train, in bed....
Mr Peach looks at me confused and says I've gone a bit 'Rain Man'.

Ha!....he's probably right!

The Fox - Le Renard




This is the first sketch from a photo that I've done in ages - inspired when checking my emails on my phone this morning and accidentally hitting a button (which is annoyingly easy to hit) that brings up a search page...inspiration in the most mundane of places! This beautiful photo of a proud and wiley fox (well actually a portion of this beautiful photo in proportion to my phone screen) was the background image.

So, I decided to quickly sketch Mr Fox. And here he is. Not the best sketch I've ever done and not really the type of sketch I usually do. However, since he only took around 15 mins, I'm quite pleased with him.

Together with this great proverb, he's reminded me that unless I make a start then I won't achieve anything. Well, at least that's what I'm thinking it means, since that it perfectly relevant to many areas of my life at the moment!

So, today I'm off to find some proverbial meat.

Before I go, since I'm really excited about the prospect, I'd also like to say a big hello to you guys....my first few followers!

Wishing you all have wonderfully productive days too.

Autumn is coming.
Some days I want to dance in the rain. Today i'd just like to hide from it please.
