The end of Sketchbook #115

End end of Sketchbook #115 will tell you all about me going back to routines of everyday life :) Reading and cello and taekwondo classes with my kid, taking care of octogenarian, talking to my family via video calls, collecting and drawing treasures I found on my walks, drinking tea, trying to clear space on my table, drawing crazy things as a way to procrastinate - all in all - normal life :)

Sketchbook #115: Reading and Cello

Little bits and pieces are usually sketched with whatever was available - and often it's a ballpoint pen and some sort of paper. I try to write down some comments from the class and our reading but recently it was brought to my attention that I mostly write down critique. So I plan to work on my approach and hope to change what is written next to the everyday sketches to a more positive tone :)

Sketchbook #114: Reading Time

It's important to remember (and set your expectations right before you try to sketch someone with a book) that reading is a very active process!

Sketchbook #114: People - Playing cello, reading and visiting doctor.

Drawing people as they go about their life: reading, playing cello, visiting doctors. One pen and a pocket sketchbook allow me to work even when they are not aware - though I think my activity was noticed at the doctor's office...

Sketchbook #113: People

More people in my sketchbook: Reading time, fellow sketcher I met in a cafe (we sketched each other but did not connect more than that - too many people in between :) and more from my life drawing class - which is working on a black belt in taekwondo right now :)

Sketchbook #112: Reading Time

I have to admit that one of the most reliable and versatile tools I know is a humble ballpoint pen. Even though I enjoy all sorts of crazy and cool fountain pens, spend hours finicking them into perfection only to start all over on the next day, still, if you ask me what one drawing tool will be with me on the desert island - my answer will probably be a ballpoint pen :) Though there are some ballpoint pens I like more than others ;)
