Sketches galore!

March is my birthday month so 

I decided to set myself a personal challenge. 

The plan is to sketch daily although 

I've given myself permission to miss a day 

here and there. 

So far, I've stayed on track!

The following sketches are all pencil-free. 

They are sketched from life, not photos,

using pens of various types and colour, 

in my pocket Moleskine sketchbook.

Day 01 - a Faber-Castell PITT pen in a grey shade

This is one of my newer tools.
I bought a Faber-Castell Manga PITT pen set which included five shades of grey. 

Nope, NOT fifty! 

Day 02 - my feet

Five days after this sketch, 

I broke the little toe on my right foot. 

A month prior to that, 

I broke the little toe on my left foot. 

Both bruised very badly and 

were oh so painful.

I can't wear closed-in shoes 

at the moment due to the pain.

Day 03 - a large shell from my collection

Day 04 - another large shell from my collection

Day 05 - My Buddha bell

Day 06 - I sketched this apple late at night 

using only BIC ballpoint pens and a hint of black PITT pen to emphasise. 

I was quite pleased with how this one turned out. 

Here is a link to the BIC pens I used as well as a review - BIC Cristal Pocket Scents. 

Day 07 - decorative bulldog clips

I spotted a packet of these cute clips featuring various designs 

in our local newsagency.

Naturally, I just HAD to have them! 

Aren't they cute?

Day 08 - my old prescription glasses 

I use them only to tighten the tiny screws on my newer glasses. 

I would never be able to wear them for more than a few minutes at a time 

because the prescription strength is so poor compared to my current glasses.

It's a sad fact that my poor old eyes are getting old....

OH okay, that includes the rest of me as well.

I'm linking up with Sunday Sketches today at this link.
