Sketching
Well, as anyone who knows me well can tell you. i do actually have the memory of a goldfish.
So, after keep having brilliant ideas for pictures and then promptly forgetting them 10mins later I decided to buy a sketchbook to record them in.
So, I thought a nice hardback one would be good......HOW hard is it to find a plain paper hardback sketchbook! Everything had lines ruled onto it. In the end I went to WH Smiths, which I thought would be very expensive. Should have gone their first, i found some lovely hardback books in varying sizes, they even had a thread bookmark, and all in the sale with 75% off. I bought 3 for under £5. in fact the pens I bought from Wilkinsons cost more. I got a set of fineline Steadlers for £4.50, and I'm sketching with a normal clutch pencil.
i'm actually enjoying drawing again loads, and often have the book out at home making up spaceships, planets or typefaces.
The kids all get out there paper too and join in.
Anyway, one idea that would have been lost was the one below which I got whilst watching a Leann Rimes DVD. It was'nt in the video but I somehow got the idea from it.
The original sketch i did had her in a long coat splayed out on the floor, but I'm not ready to that sort of thing yet. it was however a great excuse to finally use that massive top hat i bought at Renderosity.
