I have been slow in adding work to my blog this month. This has been partly because I have been taking a bit of a break after completing the daily Inktober challenge; in addition, I have been working on this year's Christmas card design which is not ready to be revealed yet.
I have also signed up for a short, online sketchbook challenge run by Laura Kemshall - eight videos throughout November (which can be followed at your own pace). The course is very reasonably priced at £12 - if you are interested, follow this link.
I thought this would be an ideal opportunity to use the beautiful sketchbook my friend Pat made. The first assignment was to "break the ice" and get rid of some of the blank pages by randomly adding some found papers, etc. - a couple of mine are shown below. Now to catch up with the second session.

Another course being released later this month is by Este MacLeod - this will be free, but you need to sign up to her Newsletter (at the bottom on her home page) to receive details.
Happy sketching!
