Following the #Sketchtober2023 prompts gives me a good excuse for sketching some fruit (the prompt for day 4). These are plantains – they taste a lot nicer than they look. I find they don’t go off as quickly as bananas (which they are related to)…but seem to be a lot higher in calories! I wasn’t careful where I put the plantains in this sketch, so had to put in more background than I usually do…but somehow I think it works.

Having enjoyed two full days of #UrbanSketching, I went back to just sketching things around the house with this one. I have been repairing our cats scratching poles (which they regularly destroy with their sharp claws…along with our furniture) and used this glue gun to reattach all the sisal rope.

Of course my last sketch in a country (when I have been on a work trip), is going to be at the airport! This wasn’t the plane I was on, but this was the gate I left from. The plane pulled away half-way through my sketch, so some of this was guesswork and reference to a photo I took. Rule number one when sketching something that might move: take a quick snapshot first!
