auction sketch by Adebanji Alade

Adebanji are you one of those guys that sketch during a court session? and did these three people on trial sign your sketches ;-)

No, I'll love to be one of them. These guys weren't on trial but I got them to sign the sketches as a souvenir for myself.

Ok Adebanji ;-) I'm sure you would get a job as a trial sketcher as easy as pie if they see your work! - it was great that you got the sigs! I am also sure that your work could be used for a television series like a thriller or something!

Having signed it, they should have bought it! I'd snap up any drawing you did of me, if I were lucky enough for that to happen - you capture character in just a few lines.

Unfortunately it was in my sketchbook.

YOu have inspired me over the past year to take my sketchbook every where and just sketch and sketch people in different attitudes. If only I could get as good as this. I even sat outside the dentist's yesterday sketching the men as they came out of the nearby mosque. Thanks for the inspiration. I can now get a passable figure in about 30 seconds- a lot longer for a likeness but I'm getting there.

Great Diana! Keep firing on! There's only one way to do it-draw, draw, draw!

As usual a great sketch. You really do inspire.

As I saw you actually doing the sketch of Ken Howard it's great to see the result! Lovely to have met you :)

Fantastic. I just love your sketches.

Thanks, Sylvia, Lesley and Jeannette!
