Summer sketchbooks!

I drew in four sketchbooks over the summer: an A6 one handmade in India which I got from Bristol's Christmas market last year, a smaller-than-A6 one to carry while out and about, an A5 one from Asda to draw in at home and another A5 one dedicated entirely to an idea I've been toying with: a spin-off of Mudskipper, taking place in the same universe but with new characters I'd be more comfortable giving up the rights to if I pitched it as a series.

Here's a selection of highlights, in order of which sketchbook they're in rather than chronological order, starting with the handmade one!

Two new series of Red Dwarf, my favourite live action programme, were announced in May so I rewatched the entire series over the summer. The following few spreads contain a lot of cinematography and composition studies from it - Ed Bye is a truly ace director!

I've been trying photocopying excerpts from books I like and sticking them into my sketchbooks, an idea I stole from Tom Warburton. In this case, it's Girls Under Pressure by Jacqueline Wilson.

That's about all! Can't wait to start my second year!!
