This is lovely Derek. I can't sketch anything vaguely round. I try to use straight lines only. Well done.

I love this perspective Derek. A difficult sketch to do and you've made an excellent job.

Thanks Henry and Adele. Must admit the view was quite daunting up there and how to approach it, but my collegue had done a good one so competition ruled! Cirlces/ellipises freehand were easy to me once awhile, but not any more.

Challenging subject but it's all there, and Wales have just scored. Which isn't as good as the sketch.

What a difficult subject to draw but you have made a lively, interesting sketch out of it Derek.

Challenging viewpoint and ellipses but it all works and has great atmosphere, Derek.

Winchester Urban sketching group again yesterday. The Ctr hosts the libray and other useful venues and the weather was so dodgy I took an idea from another sketcher and went upstairs to get this awkward but challenging view of one of the computer desks. Started in charcoal then too messy so finished in ink.
