Sketch Book
Sketching for me is an important aspect of being an artist. I'm not trying to capture a perfect image, if I ever do, thats a bonus.
No, sketching is about observing what is around you, really looking, and trying to capture that moment.
Most of my sketches are done between 15 seconds to a minute, especially of animals and people, as they tend to move a lot!
The landscapes are done over longer periods, and as you can see tend to have more detail.
What I'm showing here, is a small selection of my sketches. 9 times out of 10 a sketch is never finished or is just wrong, sometimes they work.
I hope you enjoying looking at them, for me they bring back fond memories as I know where each one was done.

Down on the farm
Images captured when out and about walking in the country side.
The Zoo
A trip to Paignton zoo in the summer of 2009, a great opportunity to sketch something different. Except for the camel, he was drawn while on holiday in Lanzarotte.
People
For me the hardest thing to capture as a sketch, the human form.
Landscapes and Buildings
Not usualy inspired to draw landscapes, but every now and then I do.
