Sketchbook Day 5

An apple a day...seems appropriate while I work my way through a large box of tissues.  The background is letter headings from old doctor's letters, crumpled and tea stained, which fits in with the cut apple turning brown and shrivelled.   I used  a medium black pen for the crinkly top edge and a finer one for the body to try and show the difference. 

Sketchbook Day 3

I'm feeling sorry for myself with a horrible snuffly cold, which is my excuse for slipping behind.  This is from yesterday - I tried drawing a cut apple on the pages prepared  with tissue paper, which turned out to be more difficult than I thought going over the bumpy bits.

Sketchbook Project Days 1 and 2

I'm following along the sketchbook project Sian has set on her blog Stitch Loop (but a couple of days behind) so here is the first pair of pages with some fruit and slices of potato.  I have a couple of pages prepared now with scrumpled tissue paper and tea ready for the next drawing.
