This wasn't the best of efforts to start with but looks worse for adding water colour for tone. Water and pen don't mix too good, still.. all part of the learning process.

74- Alan Sugar sketch (Sketchbook Pro)
It doesn't seem like that long since the last series but I'm not complaining, I'm a big fan of the show and looking forward to watching the new series. I only managed to draw a few of the contestants from the last series so this time round I'm hoping to have a go at them all!
72-Woodland walk by Thomas Swan's (Pen)
My challenge for May of doing an outdoor sketch or painting every day has been revised to a more reasonable goal of doing a total of 31 pictures (equal to the days of the month). I am still aiming to get out as much as possible but getting to a location, finding an interesting subject and fitting this around other commitments has proved to be quite difficult.

71-Work in progress
I spent the first few days of last week working on this painting and since then I've been dragging my heals, so I'm posting it as a work in progress to hopefully spur me on to finish it.
70- The road to Boggerhole (Pencil)
I'm setting myself a challenge for the month of May of doing a sketch or painting a day in the open air or 'plein air' as they say in France! Ultimately the aim is as always to improve but I'm hoping that this will help me with things like perspective and composition, as well as giving me some much needed practice painting with water colours. It's probably not going to be pretty at first but hopefully by the end of the month I will be able to show a marked improvement.
