Doctor Who on a Mac Mini. TV is not my favourite thing (and now I never need to watch it live) so I did something semi-creative while catching up. Black pen in mini Moleskine.

Lazy Christmas sketch of a knitted Eskimo decoration.

Behind the Tyre Fitter’s, waiting for two new tyres on my car.

Bonsai watercolour. I had a few Sunday minutes spare after completing my list of chores so I tried capturing my bonsai. It looks very happy considering it’s a houseplant cared for by me. Travel watercolour set, no drawing, in Moleskine sketchbook.

Quaint pump on Leigh village green. No time for watercolour so a five-minute pen sketch had to do.

Rollerball in a lunchtime at work, testing my eyes to see how small a thing I could draw … that’s my car key and ring in the background for scale.

Roses from the garden. Put in a beer glass and quickly captured before they wilted – twenty minutes or so with my tiny watercolour set. More practice and I’ll get there yet! http://www.flickr.com/photos/dhewi

One lunchtime, I decided to try drawing exactly what I could see with my mini notebook resting on my knee. This is the result.

No.56 in Springtime

On the river bank at Molesey, looking across the Thames, while waiting for friends. Just a fineliner to hand.
