close my eyes and drift away

Here's another little spread from last Sunday's sketchcrawl in Sheffield. The weather was a bit on the wild side so we ended up drawing in a couple of pubs. A perfect way to spend a wet and windy Sunday afternoon.

I can't quite decide whether to add some colour to this. The Delerium Tremens sign was purple with a pink elephant which could work. But you never know.

This drawing was made in the little mini Moleskine sketchbook. This book had sat unused, on my shelves, for at least a couple of years. I never thought I'd like using it. I thought it was too small. But it's really grown on me. And whilst I always take the larger sketchbook with me, on my travels, I love having the option of this little one too. It's just really cute.

If you are interested you can take a peak at the drawings I've made in this book so far HERE.

one more time

A quickie. I think you've met before (here). Little terracotta incense burner. All done in sienna brown and burnt ochre pencils. Lovely colours and lovely names too.

cheerio me ducks!

Just been away for a fabulous break in sunny Norwich. I'd been hoping to get lots of drawing done while there as my friend, Tim, has loads and loads of crap....I mean 'collections'. Unfortunately I only came home with this little drawing - but with lots of gorgeous memories.
Thank you my lovely friends.

today's quickie

This little elephant is actually an incense holder. You stick the joss stick in one of the little holes in his head. It's a bit like elephant acupuncture.
