I have started taking some courses on illustrating for children’s books. I have been doodling some characters on my notepad to get some ideas.

I took a trip to the city this week. While I waited for my husband, I did some quick pen and watercolour sketches. I felt a little conspicuous at first, but nobody really noticed me in the corner. I really need to get quicker at capturing people. I started many sketches that were never completed as the people walked away long before I was done. I have made a promise to myself to do some quick gesture drawings everyday in an attempt to get faster.
