READING...

   Another book finished today! 'How to Keep a Sketch Journal - A guide to Observational drawing and keeping a sketchbook' by 3D Total Publishing

   It's brilliant for beginners (although I'm not complaining!) Lots on insights, materials and technique demonstrations, images from the artists sketchbooks, challenges and two pages for doodling.

   Here's a list of the artists and their websites:

Florian Afflerbach   flaf.de
Rhea Dadoo   rheadadoodles.tumblr.com
Derrick Dent   derrickdent.com
Michel Hellman   michelhellman.com
Deborah Jung-Jin Lee   deborahjlee.com
Briony May Smith   brionymaysmith.com
Dawn Tan   dawn-tan.com
Maja Wronska   majawronska.com


   Hope you enjoy it!

Starting now reading 'A Life Drawing -Recollections of an Illustrator' by Shirley Hughes

   update 27/07/2016:  I just finish reading this book. And it's one of the best biographies I  have ever read. Shirley Hughes opens her world to us! Her personal life (not too much, the right amount), the relationships between an author, an illustrator, a reader (children and their parents), sketchbooks, her work, her advices too us! 

    It felt like we meet for a cuppa and we had a lovely, warm conversation. 

   Thank you!
