Closing a Sketch Book

[Dragonsreach]

2013 has been a year when I did a lot of Sketches and Water colours.
Today I've just used the last page in my one of my sketch books and thought I'd share.
OK you all know what a Show Off Tart I am, so you shouldn't be surprised.


Possibly put this Hawk up before.


Leopard


Otter

Orangutan (Female)

Fox.
All these animal studies are copied from Photographs no tracing involved.


Autumnal Studies.

Koi Tattoo Style

Rhode Island Coffee Shop where a lot of my spare time seems to get spent.
Plus they're used to my eccentricities(!). Ok maybe not ALL of my eccentricities.

The View from one of the upstairs offices where I work in Birkenhead.

A copy from a Photograph of the Artist Molly Schmidt.

A statute study done in one of the hidden gems of Manchester, The John Ryland Library.
This is where Karl Marx and Karl Engles did a lot of their writing.

Candle (as if you didn't know)

OK just because I'm a Grinch doesn't mean I can't draw a Snow Family.


And Finally The Old Grumpy 2013 handing over the Paintbrush to the New Innocent 2014.

Enjoy.

Good sketch book DR!! It's a question of being a "show off tart". What is the point of doing work and not showing it to people? What you've done should always be shared with family and friends in my opinion. Share the eye candy around mate. Thats what it's all about. Hope your next sketchbook gets filled up to!

Nice style! I have had a sketch book this year as well, but that work is less stringent to say the least...
