I blame Picasso

Well, wouldn’t you??

A note to those who are keeping track: Most of the recent sketchbook dailies were made in 5½”x8″ Moleskine replicas, but with this one I have started clipping from a 5″ square one that I found to be easier to handle on the train.

Since I am fitting all scanned images to the same height, the drawings are proportionally enlarged in comparison to the ones from the bigger books. Gives you clear (and probably unwelcome) insight into the poor state of my felt-tips ;)

There’s another of the fake Moleskines waiting to be scanned (first images will be online around mid-november), and after that we’ll get to the one I work in now, a nice and big A4 cloth-bound I happened upon. But we may be well into the new year before that sees the web.

Waiting for something to happen

This and the previous post show the delay in my sketchbook postings … the shirts and skirts were dropping like autumn leaves when I were making those. This summer I was surprised to find myself sketching girls, something I’ve always felt a bit awkward doing. One thing is the invasion of drawing people when they don’t know it; drawing women in short dresses would put me too close to the pervert group, I thought.

Either way, I think learning to draw girls well is a fair way to make up for the attempt at their likenesses ;)
