Ink Only
I enjoy waving my Lamy Safari around the paper, hatching, discovering line, making suggestive marks...It's therapeutic!
I sketched my Nephew who was staying with us and the result turned out to look very much like another Nephew?...Odd!

Waiting for Baby Shepherd
A day shopping for baby girly bits with my Son while we waited the arrival of Shepherd baby no.3...Rather exciting!

This, That and The Other
A little lesson planning for the following day as well as sketches at Cobblestones in March (Lunch with my Son) and Little Chef in Ely, Cambridgeshire (Coffee waiting for my Son to finish training)
Watercolour, Noodlers Bullet Proof Black ink, Tombow TwoWay marker pens and Staedtler Fineliners.
*Russell Parry Sketchbook Review -
No bleed through on any of the markers, beautiful smooth surface to sweep a nib of any kind across.on this Schoellershammer 4G 250gsm smooth HP paper

Bears
More bears sketched for the 75 day sketch challenge, this time using a Lamy Safari fountain pen filled with Noodlers red/black ink and a waterbrush to slop it around a little!
The Teddy Chair
Number 62/75 for my 75 day sketch challenge. I used a Stabilo point 88 black pen and watercolour, the ink in the Stabilo is soluable. I sketched fast and painted faster!
I've found that adding a 'speed' aspect to the task is proving useful both for time and experimental purposes; it's nice to be loose and daring. The task entails that sketches be made directly in ink with no 'pencil' guidelines, since I always sketch this way I felt I needed to add my own personal element to the task so I give myself up to 15 minutes. Some sketches have been produced in a lot less but 15 is my max. I think the results show a much looser style that I rather enjoy.
TASK UPDATE:
Today, 31st August 2012, was my last day of the challenge and I'm pleased to say I have completed it, however, my scanning is a little behind and, due to me also uploading my journal entries, it may be a while before I have revealed all of the sketches I made.
It has proved a very useful challenge, I took part because my inspiration was flagging and, once committed, I felt I MUST create something daily. It was a real struggle to start with but I pushed on and gradually it has inspired more regular journal entries.

Duckie
My eldest Sons childhood toy, now 21 years old. Named 'Duckie' because that is what my Great Grandmother used to call everyone and I loved her to bits.

Before I went on holiday I was offered an eye appointment to have a cyst removed but to be honest I was more than a little nervous and just wasn't up to it, so I postponed. Boy did I need that holiday!!!
When they called me to re-book and offered me the 9th November, the 2yr anniversary of my Mums passing, I felt it was a sign...her way of holding my hand, so I took it.
The process was soooo quick and pain free!
It also gave me something to fill my day, keep my mind busy, help distract from the pain that still consumes my heart.
I miss her!
