Here is the first sketch I did when I joined @usk_manila for @DesignWeekPH. I decided to meet up with fellow sketchers Ray and @maggielikestodraw at the Harbour Square first…thinking (mistakenly) that it was a short walk to the Likhang Filipino Exhibition Halls in Pasay City where design week took place. I’ve sketched in this spot several times before (see Sketch No.82-2586).

Here are the next two drawings I did in my little sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project PH with @1372DESIGNS / @_STUDIO1372. These are of a bag clip that was laying on our worktop, plus a tub of Soyfresh milk.

This used to belong to my parents, it was then passed on to my daughter and then to me. I’m glad to finally get it because it’s the best one I’ve had – nice and sharp and with some big chunky holes!

Here is a little practice at portraits – done from a photograph I found on LinkedIn. This is Navi Pillay who won the Nobel Peace Prize for her work to promote peace and international law. She chaired a UN commission which concluded that Israel was responsible for Genocide in Gaza.

If you draw the same things repeatedly it’s worth trying a slightly different method each time. This sketch is not that different though – I just used watercolour pencils and started with a water spray (as I did with my previous sketch of bananas).

Here are the next two drawings I did in my little sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project PH with @1372DESIGNS / @_STUDIO1372. These are of a can of beer (Tiger which I think is a Thai brand?) and some people at the local supermarket, sketched when we went there for breakfast.

These days I deliberately buy green bananas, knowing that they will ripen really quickly. Apologies to anyone who is bored seeing my banana sketches. I’ve sketched them a million times but this was the first thing on hand…it was a wet market shopping day after all.

Here are the next two drawings I did in my little sketchbook for the Sketchbook Project PH with @1372DESIGNS / @_STUDIO1372. I had hoped that using this sketchbook would result in me doing more than one sketch a day…but so far that hasn’t happened!
