Mucking about with a Fireplace design, very simple for a small living room (to replace a fireplace that was overbearing).

White lines, Black lines
Ink.
Well still trying to get the shading and distance sorted in ink. Pencil is easier, but ink is immediate/permanent, so worth persevering with for the quick sketch situations that arise.
Found an old cartoon that shows brilliantly the effective simple shading of ink
Added some more sketches, some work, others ruined by not leaving alone.

Started out ok, then gradually ruined it by adding more, lesson almost learnt.
Hadlow in the Rain, all ok until i tried to improve the Hornbeam hedge...idiot!
Distant tree's messy.
Out of my head, blotches care of my usual clumsiness (ie TEA).
Another doodle, Kent field scene.

The Gaddafi fist, change of use.
Some idea's from Toms Blog
Idea's for the change of use for the Gaddafi fist.
all rather silly, but the idea to difuse the negative message and show there is no longer any need for fear.

The Orange squeezer, change the plane to an orange replica, an orange smoothy bar below.
Turn it into a green tower of planting, showing nature taking over, all within a large pond.
A helter-skelter = FUN!!
Clothe it within a sleeve
Holding a lolli-pop (sleeve and beads), microphone (about freedom of speech).
Holding a giant mug, with water flowing out for fun.

Another Year, Another Hat
Hats R Us
Well onward and forward. I will try and keep this blog for the MA for anybody is in the slightest bit intersted. Hopefuly some improvements on the Ba.
At present trying to get my sketching up to speed, as i have left it for a while and boy am i rusty, lost how to do people, so the 10,000 hour rule (done about 20 a long way to go) applies and thus not get to upset if my drawings are below the Genius bar..
0.3 pen, no pencil to stop rubbing out etc, general issues distance not apparent (possibly shading?). Draw what i see or out of my head.

Some perspective bits are ok. have to be carfull not to fill the space up to much, no real graduation of hatching
Flattened Oriental Garden Hadlow College
Yew and hornbeam hedges, columnar oaks and the ever present pylon.
Basic hatching on the oak seems to work quite well, plus the less is more approach to the other planting. bubbly clouds and shadow add some
atmosphere.
Versailles from memory and artist licence
Some of the perspective are out, but more of a doodle that evolved into something.
Out for a run to clear my head from yesterdays meeting at Greenwich with my former and presents student friends, plus a late meal with friends.....
