I was commissioned to create a sketch of an elephant for a client. He has an elephant theme in his guest toilet and once he had it framed it went well next to the elephant trinkets on display. I mostly used a HB pencil and graphite pencils to sketch this elephant calf out on to a4 paper.

I had a clear out one Sunday and found this photograph of an exhibition of mine from my second year of college. It was a major portrait project and I remember being so restricted to A3 in my sketchbooks and then my favourite tutor in the whole world (he was also my photography teacher too) said 'go bigger, push yourself'. I only have this as evidence because a year later my house burnt down and I lost all my artwork and other prized possessions. From the left portrait I clearly needed to blend the colours better. I enjoyed using oil pastels of my best friend on the right portrait. I went through a lot of cream, white and blue pastels on that one.

Mushroom and orchid sketches

Sketching out before I use ink on them.

Blurred lines

Details of some experimental, organic and abstract pieces from my sketchbook.

Eyessss

I like to draw eyes. It's a good way to warm up and experiment.

Sketch and doodles

Every time I draw an animal they look kind of evil and even my figure sketches look a little dark. 

Quick illustrations

Keeping myself busy of this festive period with quick sketches whilst I am working overtime in my part-time job. Always keep drawing.

Some snippets of my sketchbook organic illustrations.

Flaneurism...

Using my Reportage work to lead me to Starbucks :D I tried the creme brulee macchiato. It was fit! Coffee placess are ace for inspiration.

Cracking on with my reportage project which has lead me to flaneurism. Been getting on whichever train pulls in at the station without much thought to where ever I end up. It does say 'any route' on my season ticket :)
