Graphite Goodies

I started a new sketch book. I found a really cool, really cheap book with 30 pages of 150gsm sketch paper. I could do a drawing nearly every day and fill one a month I'm sure. I'm thinking of going and buying 11 more! As always, the first few drawings in my sketchbooks are always the best and here are the first 5. I just love Felicitys pencil work and am endeavouring to improve my own. Posted by Picasa

I think you are doing an amazing job with pencil shading, I like that camera sketch, well everything on this page, the shoe detail, the base of the lamp, the funny sweating cup...and I love the previous post of the tree frog. I almost missed it. I am behind on my blog surfing I guess!

Great drawings...I think you have my shoes and I Know you have my camera! Funny to see them sitting on someone elses blog...guess the shoes walked away.

Shelly, you asked if you can print one of my illos to hang on your wall- sure, no problem. Don't know how high quality it will be, but- enjoy! Nice artwork you have going on here!
