#OneWeek100People2018 challenge

Last week, I took part in the ‘One Week 100 People2018’ hashtag challenge organised by Liz Steel and Marc Taro Holmes. I felt that I’d been neglecting people in my sketchbook drawings for a while and thought it would give me a boost and feel more confident drawing them again.

The pages are laid out below as they appear in my sketchbook, which is an A4 Seawhite of Brighton one containing acid-free 140gsm paper. I mainly used Tikky Graphic and Tombow pens, but watercolour crept in for my bonus day on the Saturday, which I added as I wasn’t able to participate on Thursday.

Well worth doing and great to see how other people took up the challenge. See a whole host of images by looking at the hashtag #oneweek100people2018 on Twitter and Instagram.

Figure drawing


A snapshot of some of the sketches I made yesterday at the figure drawing class run by Debbie Hinks.  The theme, in case you haven't guessed, was Pirates of the Caribbean!

USK Manchester 2106 - Unfolding stories with Lynne Chapman

It was interesting to listen to Lynne Chapman give a talk at the Manchester Symposium about a year long project that she had recently completed being an artist-in-residence at the Morgan Centre at Manchester University.  She used 'accordion style' fold-out sketchbooks to record life at the centre, culminating in an exhibition which was on during the Symposium.

To see some of the drawings and find out more details about the project, follow the link to Lynne's website at https://lynnechapman.blogspot.co.uk/2016/07/my-exhibition-is-up.html
