I love this Em, he looks so involved in his journal. The tilt adds so much to it, it’s almost like you can feel the rain lashing down.

Looks brilliant and great tip with the angle of the rock. Are those Pith sketchbooks worth the money? They look pretty good from the write up xx

Thanks Clair! I really like the Piths, they take a lot of abuse with different materials, and the eco credentials are good too. I do like Royal Talens though and i'm partial to a Seawhite because of their good value! Apparently Pith sketchbooks are cheaper on Jacksons than on the Pith website, so worth shopping around! x

Wow so much feeling in Beaufort’s posture. And what a genius way to use the white pencil!

Thank you Beth! I felt really rusty doing figure drawing, need to get back into life drawing classes 😆 Yeah, that technique with the pencil worked really well, I was pleasantly surprised!

Thank you Raj! I'm really glad that came across. Drawing him in his coat in that crouched position was really tough, need to get more practice in! Perhaps get my husband to life model for me 😆
