Snowdrops and Rosemary

It was lovely and sunny today, and having finished by noon what I hoped to get done today, I decided to pass the afternoon sketching in the garden.

Starbucks @ Wisma Atria

A little sketching at Wisma Atria on Orchard Road, Singapore. It was a great day for sketching because it was so crowded but I didn't have much time. I was trying out a new pen from Muji, very happy with it. I usually use pencil but I think pen is better sometimes, you have to be more decisive.

Sleeping man

I love drawing sleeping people, they fidget less and probably aren't going to mind you staring at them. This victim of mine was on a train back from London.

More coffee shop sketching, I love it!

So serious.

Old habits die hard... coffee shops are still my favourite place for people watching. I recently met Angie Lewin, an illustrator/ printmaker whom I hugely admire, and she told me that when she was little she drew ducks, JUST ducks, for over a year. It made me feel better about my sketching habits!

Pirates don't eat vegetables!

Coffee Bean @ Holland Village

I have been coffee shop drawing again! This is something I used to do all the time - at least 2 or 3 times a week, but I haven't done it in months because I don't have so much free time anymore. I was a bit rusty but I had a lot of fun.

Street Scene

Work in progress...

Moody Guy

I don't know what I was trying to do with this but I know I didn't achieve it. Still, its better to post then not to post, and I'm still experimenting so I'm not worrying too much right now about making things I like.

I spent the last two weeks working almost non stop on my dissertation, so afterwards I went out for a little R&R. I really empathized with the guy asleep in the chair.

AboutLife Cafe/ Organic Market

I was recently in Sydney visiting my friend Jess B and we did a bit of sketching together. This one was an organic supermarket/ cafe that sold amazing looking cakes. I really enjoyed drawing the shopping baskets. You can see Jess's version here.
