I feel sad when I run out of paper for my sketches. I need to get a new one!
The trees in our garden are a bit like a forest… Drawn with an ink roller then added permanent marker.. The end of my sketchbook. #30daysketchbookchallenge

Another prompt
Laboratory was the #30daysketchbookchallenge for today. I decided to draw some glass vessels full of coloured liquids. I suppose that’s the stereotypical image people have of the equipment in laboratories, but they come in all sorts of types, for physics, chemistry, biology, geology, archeology, with lasers, scanning electron microscopes, x-ray machines, burettes and pipettes….. So much to find out about the world around us…
Abstract Sun and Moon
After the #30daysketchbookchallenge yesterday and #MendNotTrend last week I decided to draw a few abstract patterns based on the prompts. They are all based on circles, two in colour and one black and white. They were all drawn in the Sketch app I use. I didn’t use any filters for these just lines and the flood fill option (plain and rainbow fills).
Sun and Moon
#30daysketchbookchallenge, Day 23 drawing. Sun and Moon in an eclipse. I couldn’t get the black dark enough and the colours bright enough so I used Instagram filters on it….
I’ve seen a couple of eclipses in the UK. They were only partial eclipses but by looking in a bowl of water, and also the dark reflective paint on my car I managed to see something. Also the phenomenon of curved moon shapes of light caused by light from the partially eclipsed sun shining through vegitation.
NEVER LOOK AT THE SUN DIRECTLY EVEN IN AN ECLIPSE. IF YOU ARE USING FILTER GLASSES MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT FAKE. IF YOU LOOK DIRECTLY AT THE SUN YOU CAN BE BLINDED!
Prompts
Today’s #30daysketchbookchallenge prompt was back to school so I did this…
Can anyone remember having to do lines? I know I used to write with three pens, but I think I was just playing after seeing the idea in a comic like the Beano or Dandy….
Jewellery
#30daysketchbookchallenge, jewellery. Struggled to draw the tiny beads on this necklace. I was trying to make it look realistic, I’m not sure I did and the photo is a bit blurry.
Used pencils, felt pens and coloured pencils to produce this.
Redo with metallic paints and better photo…
Day 19
#30daysketchbookchallenge. Day 19, standard lamp with pink sparkling lampshade. Plus view of vegitation out of the window. The prompt was lamp and lampshade.
Drawn in marker pens. I went for bright colours. A little A5 sketch.
Day 18, #30daysketchbookchallenge
Day 18, reptile. Well I don’t own any, but I remembered having a tortoise when I was little. I have a vague idea of what the shells look like. I added some gold glitter. I have given it some lettuce to eat.
I probably haven’t made it three dimensional enough, but it was starting to look overworked…
Basket
Day 17. Basket with bathroom stuff. A bit wobbly but not too bad, pencils and watercolours. #30daysketchbookchallenge. The prompt was baskets and hampers. I’m in a few challenges now!
Prompt ‘old’
#30daysketchbookchallenge Day 16, something old.. A thirty year old angel Christmas candle has sat on our mantlepiece for years. I sometimes think of lighting it but then I stop myself….
Felt pens and coloured pencils….
