The Creative Sketchbooking course has been more about drawing stuff this term so far - much more my comfort zone than playing with flour and chalk.
I posted the right hand page before but the umbrella pic is new.

Here it is close up. Drawn with a Japanese brush felt tip pen.

Then last week we were trying to measure and get perspective by using one point on a reference picture and then scanning out from here to any points of interest. It was hard! But this time I chose a photo from a nice coffee table book about the TV series of Game of Thrones.

And again this week, we were trying using water to soften lines so this is using a black watercolour pencil. I know nothing, Jon Snow!

I love the effects, so I'll definitely be trying this again, though I did my usual thing of getting the nose and hence the whole face too long.
Got to admit, now I'm taking my own source pics, I'm enjoying the whole thing a lot more!

Jon Snow is very nice. I don't know much about it, except I avoid the fandom like Twilight. (Those are two fandoms the scare the fecal matter out of me.)

The picture of the of the kids... that makes me sad. The Umbrellas is cool. The Tree, makes me think of Death. A Grim Reaper walking. Maybe that is why the kids picture makes me sad.

I read the books but couldn't be bothered with the TV series - though Kit Harrington is rather nice to look at (and draw!)
The two kids were refugees, so maybe that's coming across in the drawing?
