Sketches

Now I know I'm not the best illustrator in the world and find drawing people particularly difficult but I also know that "the most important thing about drawing is seeing" and that can lead to great ideas.

It's true that you really get a sense of everything when you start to look closely at pictures you are sketching (these were done from the photos I took rather than freeze my knackers off doing it from life!)

Chatting outside the bookshop.
Shops on Westside of Kingsland Road, south of Dalston Junction.
I'm pleased with how this looks, the inaccuracies give it a nice quirky feel.
Each side of the platform could have this running along them?

The little sketch below is an idea of the language idea on the shop frontages - each saying "Good Trip" in a different language in the style of the graphics currently on the the shops.
