There you have it….

Call myself an Artist and I went and forgot my sketchbook!  - So when all else fails, find an alternative -  that happened to be a blank page from my diary, luckily I had a pen.

After I berated myself about the sketchbook, I settled down to a very pleasant few minutes sketching fellow patrons of Wetherspoons in Ilfracombe and enjoyed a coffee (with free fill up, whoop whoop). 

By the time I took this image ⤵️ said patrons had up and left, but I’m sure you get the idea.  Obviously like cars in a carpark, patrons in Wetherspoons move before you can blink! 

The last resort....

Is it actually the last resort when I use the back cover of my sketchbook!! well, it feels like that....Does anyone else do this?

It does make quite a good, neutral background, for the sketch rather than stark white paper.

Here, I've used my live in subject - William, he is always ready to pose!!!!

I used:

Back cover of  The Pink Pig sketchbook
Pencil
Sailor Pen for detail
