From My Sketchbook

Lately I have been studying a Richard Taylor book about drawing buildings.Posted above is a page from my sketchbook.Drawing buildings is so different from drawing people.More lines, more angles, almost no curves.Especially when you are not using any ruler!But its interesting, and I am going to work some more on it; to achieve correct perspective and straighter lines.

Family

A single coloured pencil sketch from a photograph that I took on an outing.The older couple sat with their daughter,looking happy and contended, while the granddaughter took this picture.. These three made a nice family portrait.Didn't they?
Just a practice sketch, not much drawing going on lately....
I have not been doing much art lately, this was a small practice sketch to get back into the mode.
