They say Pond Square is haunted. Who are they? Well, lots of people and ‘ghosts of london’ books, but not the estate agents I imagine. It’s possibly haunted by a pond, but I have never seen it (there hasn’t been a pond here for more than a century and a half). I love this little nook of old Highgate village. I used to walk through here in the wee small hours on the way home after getting off the late bus up the hill from Camden Town (with a beer-sopping bag of chips and pepsi max). Give me Highgate and its Hill any day.
Copic multiliner and watercolour.

beautiful…love what you did with the silhouette of the tree trunk breaking the border. Are you in England now? The picture is dated March 29, 09 (as far as I can see.)
cheers! no, i’m in california, and looking at a photo, though i might try sketching from google street view, even though they blur out the ghosts’ faces
You confessed it! You worked from a photo! Isn’t that an Urban Sketcher No-No?
That’s a great technique/format with the objects intersecting the frame, really brings an extra dimension into the sketch; writing is really great as well. Your parliament of fowls piece was brilliant. Anyway, great blog. I like your sketch of the coop; I was thinking to go make a sketch at the Carrefour…. I dont think anybody ever sketched in the Carrefour parking lot before, but somebody should.
When someone writes an paragraph he/she maintains the
idea of a user in his/her brain that how a user can
understand it. Thus that’s why this article is perfect.
Thanks!
