Steam Bike 2
Working digitally is so much more interesting for me as I can switch between styles so easily. This works well for me, though I almost gave up on it as I got too buried in trying to work out technical details.

The Drawingroom, Chesham
I can hardly believe I spent three hours drawing this whilst visiting The Drawingroom cafe in Chesham today. It was a wonderful place to sit on a lovely cushioned bench under cover and yet outside. Quirky, relaxing, and a very inspiring place. I had no aims for the sketch other than to draw with fine lines and then colour parts in.

Steam Bike
An actual pen and ink illustration! Have just read a steampunk themed novel ‘Chasing Shadows’ by Steven Smith and decided to get out my inks and draw the above. It has nothing to do with the theme of the novel.

Wrest Park
Sketches made today at a very hot Wrest Park in Bedfordshire. Had a day’s holiday and cycled there and back very slowly, seeking shelter amongst trees where I could. Would much rather be outside than in my usual air-conditioned office.

Ashridge Trees
Two sketches made at Ashridge (National Trust, Hertfordshire) on a beautifully hot Sunday with gorgeous sunshine and very welcome shade beneath the trees.
