Sketchbook look through

November 2022

Hello everyone, I hope you're well!

This week I filmed a look through a little sketchbook I kept in my bag at the beginning of the 100-day project I am doing.

For those who don't know, I have been doing a special 100-day-project focused on drawing people. I created a hashtag #100daydrawpeople, and anyone can join using the tag. You can follow my progress with the hashtag #ellamorella100daypeople. I speak more about it in the video, and my plan is to make a video dedicated to it. I also made a video talking about my previous #100dayproject that you can see here and here on my Patreon.

It's a tiny sketchbook, just 11.5 cm squared, so it tended to get whipped out for a quick drawing while out and about. It also has quite a few sketches and explanatory drawings from when I was teaching on the Observation and Experiment module for the Cambridge School of Art Children's Book Illustration MA where I am an associate lecturer. So I thought it might be interesting for you to have a sneak peek at the sort of things I talk to the students about.
