Hello Sketchers!
I know that for some people the mere suggestion of sketching on the motorway is enough to make them queasy, but I don't suffer from motion sickness. In fact, I really love to sketch while my husband drives. It's very relaxing.
This time, driving from Dublin to Galway, I made all kinds of bad decisions. I got my timing wrong and was a little impatient: if I had waited for the curve of the road to be the same as when I started my sketch it would have been better. And I wish I had taken a sort of sight-reading across the two directions, to eyeball the tops of the cars, as the lanes travelling in the opposite direction look like they're in a ditch. I tried to cover this up by putting lots of cars in - I figured I might distract the viewer, like a lion in a herd of wildebeest. It's definitely better than one lone horrendously wrong car.
But I don't mind that my sketch is wrong in many ways - you can't win 'em all! I had a sketching "lose" about a week ago and a "win" over the weekend, so on balance I'm in deficit this past week, but I am unruffled and just remember that I enjoyed every minute of every sketch. That's what I'm here for!
You can see my sketchpocket in the frame: It really is a terrific piece of kit, and without it my stuff would have been falling around everywhere. I forgot to acknowledge myself at the end of the video for designing it! I am currently waiting for the revised sample, so the waiting time is getting shorter.
Meanwhile - if you are a good traveller - try some car sketching, it's a lot of fun.
One more thing - I have some lovely free classes you can try on my website. You should give them a go! You'll be asked for your email when you "purchase" them (for free). I wish I could say that I send lots of marketing emails to people, but I don't, because I have too many irons in the fire and I never remember to do so! But you will get my blog once a week which I hope you'll enjoy...and of course you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
Happy Sketching,
Love
Róisín
