Tulips, Basketball, Pencil Sketches and more feature in this week's roundup

Here is a roundup of recent posts from my blog. If you’re intrigued by a sketch or write-up, click on the link to see more sketches on the subject and read more about it.

TV versus IRL sketching

Nothing beats sketching from life, but when will I get to sketch Caitlin Clark live?

Tulips Over a Week

I drew a bunch of tulips over a week, with some interesting results. See them all here.

Pencil Sketches

The plain and simple everyday pencil is an incredible medium I have paid too little attention to for too long. Time to change that!

Two Quick Takes

Last month my Sketching Together Zoom group did a sketch of this balloon seller in a half hour. I wasn’t happy with how I approached my sketch, so I did a second take. See both sketches here.

So much of sketching is about asking yourself what you want to capture and then deciding how to best get there in the time you have. If you’d like to join in this month’s session, upgrade to be a paid subscriber!

UPCOMING WORKSHOPS

A space just opened up on Gateway to India, 2025

Gateway to India 2025 was full, but a participant needed to drop out, so if you act fast, that space can be yours! (And yes, we have non-sketcher spaces available too for your travel partner). Use this link to find out more about it and write in ASAP if you are interested.
