FROM MY SKETCHBOOK DURING February

This is a drawing of my grandson sleeping, using coloured pencil, which I found quite pleasant to use.

This is a sort of sketch idea from trampoleening sketches

An ink sketch of myself which I found quite difficult because of the inability to use intermediate tones, one could only hatch and/or cross hatch. I have just been reading a book on Gaudier Brzeska, and admired his minimal sketches in ink and charcoal.  My outline was not successful enough to leave as a minimal outline and could only add sculptural qualities of form to give the drawing some substance.

More drawings of Freddie asleep using coloured pencil.

I quite liked this quick sketch of me, it doesn't really look like me but I was feeling upset because my hair is now so thin, and it made me feel miserable, so I thought it a good idea to catch a different mood.

Sketchbook January 2011

Didn't sleep till 3.a.m. last night thinking about all the paperwork, technostuff, and rewardingly Assignment 1 Exploring Concepts.  Thought about how I might tackle it in relation to the final Seasons exercise. Kept visualising and revising in my mind but think I have got some grains of ideas percolating. Am making an entry into my Sketchbook.  I also spent yesterday starting my sketchbook because my grandson is staying with me so it was an ideal opportunity to sketch him.
