AFTER THE late nights that it took to get my book off to the printers 10 days ago and the school drawing workshop and weekend geology walk that have followed I haven’t quite got back into the drawing habit. My sketchbook and Pilot Drawing Pen (0.8 nib) used here go everywhere with me but I’ve been too dazed to sketch - for
example the snow scenes we’ve had.

 

I feel ready to start drawing
again but first I’ve got my
book launch . . .

 

Some day soon, but for

now this is all I have
to show; just snatched
sketches.

I was going to include a photograph of my hand drawing to complete this page but - struggling with my left hand to take it - I drew it from the over-exposed, out of focus image on my computer screen!
