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!

I agree with most of the others about loving the umbrella one, and for me it actually looks like it's raining!

Jon Snow is beautiful, I love his hair, but I agree with you that his nose isn't quite right.

Yes, I was pleased with his hair, but Kit's face is much shorter and squatter-looking than I've done him here. HShould have done my measuring better! LOL
