while the sun shines

saturday afternoon

Saturday afternoon at home, sketching at home while the young one naps. I enjoy the shadows of the wintery tree on the apartments opposite. Listening to the radio, the talk of Egypt and change in the middle east. Watched the football in the morning, Spurs beating Sunderland (quite how I’m not sure, but wins are wins). Finishing off reading ‘A Game of Thrones’ (whoah!). Watching the ‘X-Men: First Class’ trailer online. Another week until the next Let’s Draw Davis sketchcrawl (this Saturday, Feb 19th folks), wishing that the glorious sunny weather would stay for that. It won’t; the rain is already back in Davis. But I will still be out there sketching. I’ll just bring a raincoat.

    I really like this. And it just gave me an idea for a mini-series you could do.

    You could take internal sketches looking out of places where you are every day, like your apartment or out of your office window (very much like the one above). But you leave the external part blank, so you don’t sketch the view of the outside. Then you go off to one of your favourite places, or some really cool place you’ve never been before, and you fill in the external view from there.

    So it’s almost as if you were sitting at home or in your office and daydreaming of some place fantastic.

    Does that make sense?
