Sketchbooks, Isle of Skye

I recently went on a family trip to Skye, a lovely annual get away filled with mountains, beaches, walking, whiskey and plenty of drawing.

Its so valuable to have a break from uni work and the stresses of deadlines and projects and ideas to just draw for pleasure, for no particular reason other than capturing what is around you. It is also invaluable to look back over these pages and recall the holiday and also the specific situation which the drawings were created in.

Something about sitting down for 10-20 mins in one place at one time, focussing on putting pen to paper translating what is in front of you that allows you to remember those moments in more detail; the time where no drawing took place more readily slip to the back of your mind and more often than not fade out altogether.
