Line Drawing of The Dickens Inn at St Katherine's Docks.....
... and yes, the sign is skew. Some of my students wanted to go up to London to draw at a different location. A great idea. I had been doing a demonstration in Croydon the night before so I had not slept well that night. Too much adrenalin coursing through my veins. I, therefore, decided to focus on a detailed line drawing of the Inn and it kept me busy for a good 3 hours. One literally takes one's sharpened pencil 'for a walk' and it helps one explore every contour and texture change in one's subject. An exciting way to illustrate and it helped my eyes to remain open. Slept like a log that night!
