On Friday I arrived a few minutes early to collect Harry from school and took the opportunity to sketch one of the houses from the truck. I had approx. 10 minutes before I had to dash to the classroom door, so I jotted down the light direction and added black watercolour back at home later that evening.
It is part of a double spread for Friday, shown below:
Vivien Blackburn recently attended a interesting talk by an illustrator who asked everyone to do a series of 4 x 2.5 inch sketches of their day from memory/imagination and presented the idea to Wet Canvas members in the General Sketchbook thread.
I didn't measure my boxes but instead divided a page in my journal and filled it on Saturday.
It was fun!

Looks like a fun exercise.
I love all the mannekin drawings :D I think the first one is my favorite, though.
I love the way you sketch your environment - I sometimes feel as though I've visited your area just by following your blog.
Great take on the memory sketches, too!
Beautiful monochrome sketch of the cottage. Also, fun memory sketches.
Cute way of showing your day!! Nice job on the monochrome cottage!!!
Great idea to use the manekin (sp?) for your comic strip... I love the grayscale drawing, black and white is so underrated. Beautiful!
Hi Anita! It's always soooo inspiring to come and visit your blog. A pleasure to our eyes. Best wishes. Martìn.
I love monochrome sketches and yours is beautiful Anita...right scale of shadings and that humouristic play with the manequin is too cute!
