Hey, Shoobeedoodlers - how are you doing? How would you like to have a sneak little
peek inside my sketchbooks? And this is my November 2019 sketchbook which I
started going on a cruise to Norway it was Mrs. Rayner and I's 30th wedding
anniversary this year, and we treated ourselves to a cruise to see the
Northern Lights and did we see the Northern Lights? We did! I t was
absolutely amazing. All that Northern Light photography is
far too complicate, so these were taken by the wonderful people who took this
out for the night, searching for than all the lights. And they found them for
us. So this is a little sketch of the Aurora, I don't know why I wrote fancy
clearly cute lettering there. I was just drawing people on the boat really. Mrs. Rayner
doing her knitting, she says it looks nothing like her. It doesn't really, but
anyone I showed it to instantly knows who it is. Now this was interesting. They
were doing watercolor lessons on board, so I thought I would go on water wet on wet
watercolor lessons Aurora in the middle of the North Sea and I realize just how
inappropriate this paper is for watercolor. This is a
great journal I love this book, but I realise that the paper is not that
brilliant for water coloring. So I met the wonderful Caroline James who
was the watercolor teacher, she comes from Bath, in here in Britain. I learned
lots of new things from where it was really interesting I've really have been
paintable watercolor lesson before and these are different versions of things
that I tried this was so these were from photographs as well which I'm not really
used to working from
yeah that was the picture for this one hmm
the paper just doesn't quite do it but it was really interesting empty watch
classic water camping at work that's another variation and then we were
trying to do the Northern Lights the Aurora I was having trouble with this
paper it's kind of oversized they didn't want to just take except the paper so
that was fun we crossed the Arctic Circle so I've got a certificate and his
coke so there's a lot of entertainment goes on on the cruise ships were you
having a drink and watch your back I think I took this along and then tree
this from that I think I can't was blowing somebody I got an email while I
was away sort of about doing some illustration work for a children's book
might have come from that there was a fabulous band entertaining us in the
evenings he did I'll rock a role stuff and a bit of comedy and a bit of stuff
and he was just entertaining is what they were and dancing one of these
things so from this sketch I kind of did a considered sketch while we were in
alders nests which is a little port which is where we first went into the
key side was just full of these sea urchins in the water so I started with
sea urchin these are other kind of people around on the boat there's that
singer again um and this a Cuban comedy magician he was very funny these were
things I would never really know it normally go to so the interesting thing
about going on a cruise is he things you wouldn't normally do because
this is there it's like a whole little world and these little people in the
audience it's quite difficult drawing this cuz it's very dark and again while
waiting for shows to start this is eternal drawing people who are sitting
there waiting in in rows in front of you and here again as well these are other
people waiting and we went to a place called pool area which has kind of
northern polo aquarium kind of thing and I just couldn't do this doodle because
they had seals lovely and animes needs frogs when you have an enemies is that
bunny again other kind of ideas I was happening you have this lady and Ray are
Matt Damon performed on her flute it's kind of quite a cool sort of interesting
she has sort of playing against herself with a screen in the background and
video playing against herself on video and things like that so this is actually
drawing while I'm there in the dark it's quite difficult doing that this is
thinking about I might do this as a how to draw video near at Christmas and I
started thinking about drawing kawaii stuff real easy I really like kawaii
stuff now YouTube has really upset everything but when I came home to find
all these new copper laws and kid friendly content sort of regulations and
things suddenly appeared says it's completely changed the whole way I'm
going to doing things on YouTube it's just
doodling so this was these flowers were
everywhere and these little bars is silent and treat them as well they were
on our tables and we're eating and they were in our room as well so I did send a
more sort of formally portraits of and to animate from from this sketches that
I did previously here we have more of these kind of things because having to
start to think about work while I was away on holiday this is the lovely
Terry's a staff now mu would tell us all about Norway and she dressed up this
isn't her full first dress up this kind of a day where I suppose and she was
telling us all about no way beautiful hooded crows in Norway the polari a
building where they had the seals everything was really interesting kind
of based on ice floes when the wind is blowing then the ice see I suppose the
the water is moving up and down so it breaks into blocks and the wind and
blows one on top of another and he gets the ice stacking up like that this is a
seat right of Brighton sketchbook and they have sent me their new 140 by 140
now this is what water got a sketchbook and I just just don't know how to start
something like this so I'm I'm actually kind of reviewing this and they sent me
a couple of new pen so these are great pens but I kind of not quite so the way
the watercolour is working all over so much ink
the trouble with drawing stuff off the DBZ he gets about three seconds to get
an impression of what is going on and so at the moment
gonna be starting to kind of leaves and stuff that's watching the news and again
I think I got about 10 seconds the compromise name and here again he was a
news reporter and by the time I decided to draw him I thought I really liked it
was these lines here that I really liked and by the times I'd started wrote it
gone so it is from memory that takes me up to date that's so cool well thanks
for watching and make sure that you are subscribed to the sheer energy during
channel and keep going back for lots more sketchbook stuff a general stuff
about a drawing in general in fact if there's something you'd like me to show
you intending about drawing let me know in the comments box below in the
meantime keep drawing too enjoying practice practice practice and I'll see
you next time you take care now bye
