Out of comfort zone!
France 5th-17th August
This is my drawing of the Abbey in our town. I have being trying draw quicker and larger, this drawing took about an hour and a half.
I continued to draw people, choosing 3 people. I found it quite difficult as my family do not sit still. This is my dad.
As they moved a lot I tried to draw really quickly. 
My Brother.
My Sister.
Whilst we were sitting on the beach I was struggling to find things that I wanted to draw and everything was moving. So I started drawing this pram and then the mother took it away so I had to make the rest up!
My backpack that my sister bought me for my birthday from Granada. I enjoyed choosing 3 colours for my drawings and using both line and paint.
My Dad's croc and hat.

Drawing In Spain 3rd July- 10th July
Back in Spain drawing with Martyn
This is my favourite drawing of the summer. I feel I have learnt a lot and developed my drawing style, now using a range of marks, colours and textures compared to my black line drawings. Design wise, i think the little gates could be portrayed in stitch.
Martyn then suggested I try to work bigger as my drawing are usually fairly small. I am not happy with the outcome at all and hope to improve my large scale drawing skills in the 3rd year!
We visited El Torcal. Rocks aren't really something I would normally draw so I decided to make it more interesting for myself by using turquoise, blue green, orange and reds. I am thinking about overlaying this image with line drawings or perhaps combining with less abstract looking images to create excited designs.

Granada 19th-26th June 1st-3rd July
Granada- After my first week in Cutar drawing I traveled to Granada with Rachel to see my sister! Each morning Rachel and I would get up and go and draw before everyone else woke up (about 3 pm)!
Al Hambra- Following up the advice from Martyn to try to work quicker and more losely.
Al Hambra- Here I have used paint, pen and pencils. I am really pleased with this! We sat out the look out point for a few mornings in the very hot sun whilst I completed this!
This is a very quick silly drawing which I completed whilst trying to hide from the 48c heat!

Drawing in Spain 12th-19th June 2012
My first drawing whilst in Spain! In that evenings tutorial Martyn (the drawing tutor) suggested I tried to draw without line as a challenge.
I also wanted to improve on drawing people so here was my first attempt.
Here was my first attempt of drawing without line. I found this very difficult and I was not particularly happy with the outcome. Out of comfort zone!
I then tried a different style of drawing using shading in pencil. I preferred this to the previous style of drawing but I was still struggling here!

Skip Drawing-
Below are drawings in a book that Martyn found in a skip the previous year in Spain! The book already had some numbers and markings which looked like the records of a shop or something. These numbers have a massive effect on my drawings as I have tried to work them into the designs resulting in a abstract look. There were three books in the skip. We are hoping to fills the books and then put them in an exhibition in Berlin next year.
