My sketchbook is the only escape from the laborious train, bus and senseless walking journeys that seem to fill my days. These images are based on my travels, and some are taken directly from them.
This two point perspective was based on the method of another single point perspective I had completed previously. All done by compiling a series of boxes and lines together, I figured as long there is a mental formula I could develop the idea further.

This was a quick sketch of an isle in Tesco's. My friends had been taking their time at the checkouts, leaving me with ample time to get more than enough information to finish the finer details at home.

Watercolouring is a big pastime for me, and on this special occasion I had the pleasure of following this 1st year Fine art class in my college to Oxford where I could quickly capture this view from outside a church (just wish I could remember the name of the church).

A quick attempt on a 3 point perspective building, drawn from imagination.

Seeing as the other few images have all had the same ridged feeling of being orderly and regulated, I wanted to warp the perspective into a spiral, breaking those connotations. Still experimenting.

I moved from building to faces seeking a new host for my watercolours. I chose a face from an old anatomy book, and the results we pleasing. So I took it one step further, dropped the reference and slightly altered my process and painted first and drew on top of the wet paper to make my pen's ink bleed a little.

Last but not least (well its not the last page in my book anymore), I painted a small section a Canaletto painting. Canaletto's work contains such vast amounts of information, I did my best to capture just a part of the image. I really wanted to focus on how the lighting came across, I hope I did it justice.
