P.S. If you're wondering, this is a Winsor & Newton 170g spiral-bound sketchbook that I bought way back in 2005. Although they still have sketchbooks that look like this one, as far as I know the paper is not the same quality. This old sketchbook handled watercolor and ink fairly well, like a cellulose hot press sketchbook. The cartridge paper in the newer sketchbooks is not as good. Although I've enjoyed using this sketchbook (apart from the spiral) I can't recommend W&N sketchbooks in general.
I was ill for a week and thus too tired to even get up from bed, let alone do something, like draw.. or whatever. Now just that I got better the weather is terrible and I have a million things to do and I'm feeling a bit depressed. So I decided to draw something to shake it off. Not really sure if it worked.
Pentel brush pen in a Moleskine sketchbook. I started drawing a lady in a dress and she just got the spider legs in the process... though they're not visible. I always wanted to draw Lolth, but this isn't how I imagined her :) I'll paint her some other day.
I decided to redraw another old sketch I found in a pile. Pen and ink. Yeah, the bottom of the windowsill is hanging a bit, I drew it all freehand, so no wonder.
And why do I always have to spill my ink when I'm using it? Argh, I almost ruined entire block of drawing paper, that would have been a disaster.
Lately I've been mostly sketching just jewelry and other handmade items, but I'm reluctant to share them before I'm done with the project itself. So I decided to share some old sketches (some up to 3 years old!) that in the end got turned into jewelry.
