Sketch a day - Day 141/365

I have a little app on my phone which I can sketch with using my finger. I got it as an experiment as I wasn’t sure about the idea of digital drawing. But I have found I enjoy it. It's kind of like the difference between playing an acoustic and an electric guitar. They are very similar at times, but also entirely different instruments. And sometimes I enjoy the way you can build up line over line quickly on the digital app. Also, when I make mistakes I can just delete which is handy. But also, some of my favourite paper and ink drawings are full of mistakes. So…

I guess what the little phone sketch app is great for is doing quick sketches when I’m rushing out and haven't left myself enough time to do my drawing for the day.

Hence the drawing of the train station platform.

There are lots of other things I could tell you about today. About writing the play and doing my MAP sponsored stride first week update and about Tucker & about Lara Darling high jinx and about the beauty of this world and the horrors seemingly always cheeky by jowl. But for now, I don't have time.

That's the news x
