Andrea Joseph’s Sketchblog

Nat drawing in London

So, I’ve been nominated to do this post-three-drawings-a-day-for-five-days thing that’s going around Facebook at the moment. Have you come across it? I’m not sure if it’s just on Facebook, perhaps it’s doing the rounds on the blogs too? I think it’s quite a fitting that at this time, with recent horrific events in Paris, that our screens and social networking are being filled with illustrations and drawings by people who love illustration and drawing.

So, I was nominated by Katherine Tyrrell. I’m sure many of you will know her blog Making A Mark. If you don’t you really should check it out. It’s ridiculously informative, on all sorts of topics for artists and people making their way in the industry. I’ve learnt so much from it. Katherine also has a new book out and a few of my illustrations feature in it. The book is called 365 Tips for Drawing and Sketching, you can read more about it HERE.

Miriam drawing in Buxton

Anyway, the three drawings above are my sketches for the first day of the challenge. It seemed apt to start with sketches of people sketching. Plus, I seem to have been doing an awful lot of that recently. This little sketch of Miriam, above, is one of my own personal favourite sketches. I’m particularly pleased that I did it with such few lines, without over working it, as I often do. Plus, I managed a real likeness – which is hard to do. But then, you wouldn’t be able to tell that if you don’t know Miriam.

But hey, while I’m at it, whilst I’m posting sketches of people sketching, I might as well include these two, below, that I made last weekend. They are from a sketchcrawl I attended, in Stockport, on Saturday. Emily was our youngest sketchcrawler at 7 years old.

Here’s the thing about sketching with other people; you can learn something new from each and every one. No matter what their ability or level and no matter what their age. From Emily I learnt about the two pencil technique. Or, at least, she helped me remember it. I always did stuff like that when I was a kid. And, now I’ve been reminded of it, I’ll be using it as a big kid too.
