So, it’s back to following the #Melogallery #HomeboundSketching prompts – the subject for 20th May being “shadow”. I’ve sketched our table and chair so many times…but still find the subject interesting. The other advantage is that I don’t need to get off the couch!

Another sketch in my apartment…all seemed to be going OK until I finished and noticed that the seat of the chair on the right can’t possibly fit with its back rest! Perhaps if I cropped this out it would be better.

This little table is the nicest piece of furniture in the apartment I am staying in.. I was trying hard to get the feel of the rugged wooden surface. Maybe a bit too hard…can’t get away from this heavy style at the moment.

I sketched this while winding down in the evening, trying to summon up some energy to do some work on another project – but failing. The furniture here is that perfect dirt colour – so nondescript that you’d never know if it was dirty.

Before I drew this I checked on my progress at doing at least one sketch per day. Since I began doing this in April 2016, I should have done 1266 sketches, so I am 46 behind. Admittedly that is over three years but even so I’m going to make an effort to catch up – maybe the Inktober prompts will be a good incentive!

This is a view of my apartment done in late afternoon as the sun is low in the sky. I share my apartment with a small lizard (not a gecko) that comes out every evening and hangs around in the bedroom. One evening it was on my pillow and I must admit it made me jump when I was getting in to bed!

Here is an evening-time doodle done in the apartment I rented in Providenciales. The room is dominated by the enormous fridge.

I did this sketch for the #Kyusisketchers weekly challenge of #myfavenook. This is my work desk. It’s built into a wardrobe (the desk is a flap that folds back up to conceal it) that I designed in our bedroom – the desk seat is at the end of the bed. As our apartment is so tiny we have several space saving features like this. I forgot that I had water soluble ink in my pen …hence the faded out ink lines. Oops!

I am a bit late on posting my sketches as I have been busy visiting friends, but here is one from last week, done one evening…sitting in a different spot in my parents living room.
