Here are my latest sketchbook close ups, this time with markers. Amazingly, since I pulled out my sketchbook for these close ups I have started sketching more landscapes from photos,using pencil crayons. markers, and watercolour crayons, and have moved to painting some small scenes on fabric which I will finish with stitching etc etc. It really is a motivator. Here are some 'closer ups' - mushrooms, pebbles, flowers, seed pods etc. I'm thinking, after reading the latest Sketchbook Challenge post (Up Close Imaginary Worlds), that I need to add some smurfs under those mushrooms.
