Well, it would seem that my devious plan for sketchbook domination is working and I am cycling through the pages of my moleskine. It’s only early days but I’m now at the stage where if I have to something normal such as housework or eating, I find myself trying to hurry it along so I can get back to my scribbles. And I know it’s bad but if I’m chatting to someone I find I’m often thinking, ‘I could be listening to you AND doodling…damn those unspoken social etiquette rules!!’.

Hi Eck0,
Erm, sometimes I start with the outline but most of the time I kinda just start in one corner of the page, draw one swirly line and then see what happens with the shading. The shape and shading sort of evolves of its own free will. Hmmm, I don’t think I explained that very well. I’m thinking of doing a series of images showing my process…so hopefully that will be useful.
Take care,
