The Sketchbook Project

[amberdreams]

Apparently this is my third sketchbook from the Sketchbook Project and it will be the only one I've managed to send back (assuming I don't forget to take it to the post office tomorrow...). The first one I don't even remember at all and have no idea where it might be. The second I have and it's got about three pages filled. This one I dismantled and reflled with some slightly better paper and a few pages of watercolour paper, and I have at least filled most of it.

And here it is in all it's messy glory...

Including blanks (sigh)

An attempt at paper cutting

Inspired by alby_mangroves (who is awesome)

Playing with my gouache set and liked the result

random doodling in pen and ink

more random ink doodling and sea creature in coloured pencils

Trying stuff with ink and then watercolour that didn't really work

Something I actually like! Even though it was completely out of my head, no references and no idea where it was going

Followed by something I really DON'T like

two completely unrelated pages next to each other - the bird is in ball point pen, the seascape is gouache

This page was coloured inks with black ink over the top.

Another two page spread of unrelated art - a piece I did just playing with watercolour and ink doodling, and a fuzy watercolour panda.

i love how different these all are! and of course there's a two moose. :D i love the doodly pen and ink ones, and the paper cut is fantastic. also the alby-inspired one, that's gorgeous. and the lighthouse has such great drama. crashing waves! clouds! i love it.

I confess, the crashing waves on the lighthouse one were because I lost my temper with it and went a bit mad. It didn't do my poor paint brush much good, but I ended up liking how it turned out!
