Much more than scribble, Alan. You can make the ordinary extraordinary.

It's a great drawing. You've conveyed a real sense of the old ship's weight, size and state of gentle decay.

Great sketch, Alan - and my favourite subject of boats, too!!

Scribbled to perfection, never just scribbled it’s a Bickley scribble.

Definitely more than a scribble. Worked out well.

Brilliantly scribbled, Alan, lovely old boat!

A good solid old hulk Alan, broad across the beam, that’s the boat not you!

The more I look at this, the better it gets. It’s scribbling at its very best.

Just Rotring Ticky pen work on this sketch, multiple lines as is my current style of drawing - scribble in fact, but so what! Canson grey card A4.
