Have seen some super sketching on these pages and so diverse ! My Blencathra sketch probably took me less time than typing the "link" (tongue in cheek) !! For my my next effort I must get out of my "comfort zone" of mountains, hikers and sometimes sheep.

Lovely to see all these very different sketches, they do spur me on. Off to do mine now, been out woth a friend for lunch. Like Margaret, I won't be posting mine everyday in the gallery, maybe I can think of a way to photo 4 at a time ( maybe an app? )

Excellent Marjorie! I looked at my chess pieces but there are too many ellipses, mind you, I found this hard enough to do. It’s a very rare old telephone, it was used by the secret service for covert operations in the 1950’s.....nod, nod, wink, wink......it has a very special dial....lol! Think I’ll pick an easier victim next time.

If anyone's interested, I've just downloaded a free app to my i pad - "Photo Collage, Alan Cushway. If we only want to upload our efforts to the gallery every now and then, we could collage them? Any thoughts Margaret or others?

An interesting idea, Marjorie and yours has worked really well - a lovely selection of sketches.  I tried with another Collage maker on my phone but my sketches were the wrong shape.   The thing I might worry about is that the thumbnail would show images so small that they didn't really show up - especially on smartphones.   I assume it would be okay with PoL?   Might be worth a try if you are willing?   I'm just going to post the occasional one on the Gallery, probably ones that I've spent a bit longer on, and post the rest here.
