Incredible experience sat underneath this pier in a gale with 3 m waves thundering onto beach and the swish of shingle. Salt spray slowly fogged up my glasses. A passing metal detectorist said to be carefull, the tide was coming in. I had to move up the beach and the perspective changed. I was surrounded by sheltering seabirds.

I forghot to post this sketch.

Drawn to the sound of aircraft and a pedestrian crossing alarm. I kept having to blow off the dirt settling on my sketchbook.

Many thanks to the owner of the flat giving me the chance to sketch the city from up here.

Created using Stable Diffusion (SD1.5)

These were fenced in domesticated geese. The wild ones would have flown off as soon as I’d sit down to sketch.

Drawn from Gold. I corrected my spelling in Photoshop.

Good that I had to stop at this point as my train was coming, the sketch may have been overworked if I had more time.

On Sunday 12th August I’ll be showing and selling my work along with other designers at Hirchhof Fest in Karlsruhe.

‪#‎INKtober‬ ~ Day 7 of 31

Cats in SOCKS! ...because fuzzy sock weather has arrived!

Diamine Steel Blue, Ancient Copper, Eau de Nil & Meadow, R&K Alt-Goldgrun & Noodler's Apache Sunset with , Iroshizuku tsutsuji & Platinum Carbon Black on Stillman & Birn, Zeta paper.

I shouldn’t have been here. The vineyard owners were whistling up the hill to get my attention.

I tried to draw the gardeners and mini 3-wheeler van at a discrete distance but close enough to see enough detail. Just about managed it but the angle isn’t ideal. I wanted to show that the men were bigger than the van. They also wore the same colours in the same places as the van!

I’ll be having an exhibition at this gallery in Karlsruhe from 11th April:

Drawn with a TWSBI Mini AL with Diamine Golden Brown ink.

A trip to the rubbish dump involved waiting in a queue of 35 cars so I was forced to draw something.

Drawn with a Duke Confucius fude fountain pen with Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black ink

The vicar welcomed me and asked how I’m coping with brexit in Germany. He said he unfortunately hasn’t got any continental relatives so has to stick with only his British passport.

Just finished an excellent tour of the castle with a beefeater. While I was drawing this the next beefeater was doing his tour but it was a shouty version.

A digger driver asked if he could park his digger in front of me.

Merci, Brigitte!

There wind was blowing so hard, I had to keep blowing the sand settling on my sketchbook every 2 minutes.

Drawn to the sound of people chatting and gulls squawking.

Dark atmosphere when I started sketching until the lights were turned on to prepare for the next funeral.
