RCA final show

Although it's a bit late, but here's the photos from the RCA show we've been to in beginning of the month. Not a lot of illustrators this year - I counted three, I think - but their work was brilliant. Unfortunately I managed to find the name of only one of them (Matthew Dale).

St. Martin's School Final Show

Here's some of my makeshift photography of the show we've been to yesterday at Central St. Martin's School. At the show, there were graphic design, illustration, photography and animation works, plus some interactive stuff, as for example, a machine that reads movement of your hands to draw a mural, etc.

A sketch from Barbican

I've never been to this place before, although heard a lot about it, and fell in love with it immediately. Will definitely come here again, both for sketching and for events!

Bike trip to Windsor

Here's some sketches from our bike trip to Windsor. It was a long way (we spent 5 hours on bikes), but the path is very nice. It goes along the river most of the time, which is very picturesque, and features hundreds of geese, river locks, bridges and even a ferry. It was hard not to stop for sketching every fifteen minutes! Windsor castle:

A pencil sketch of a bridge in Staines, which is half way through:

Church in Greenwich

Among many other places we visited during the May holidays was Greenwich. We got there by boat and had a nice walk around. This sketch is from a top of a hill, above the prominent Greenwich meridian:

Sketches from Wimbledon Common

I had a chance to sketch a bit yesterday, in the first part of the day when the sun was still shining and the rainy clouds were yet far away. Here's the view on the "Fox and Grapes" pub from the neighbouring park:

And this is a pond with ravens in the park itself:

Church in Hoxton

I was in the East London the other day and decided to use the occasion to draw a bit. Not being very familiar with the neighbourhood, I wandered in circles until I hit this church with a nice garden and benches around it.

Crossroad in Surbiton

Here's a desperate attempt to fix the unfixable - this sketch was laying for two months in the waste paper pile, until today, when I decided to see I can make it look like something. After all, I made an effort to make the inital drawing: went to the pub, sat near the window, spent some time sketching the street view.

Here's the result - I covered the half of the page with black ink, as it was the night anyway, and fix some detail here and there.
