Sketchy 212

…partial…

…because….

…there didn’t seem much point in continuing….

…(but….minor epiphany in the margin at the bottom)….

Sketchy 211

…back to the circuit board…

…(I vaguely remember that at this point I was considering laying the whole thing out with coloured string (or wool) so I could quickly adjust where I wanted the lines to go…but went ahead with drawing the damn thing over and over again)…(same level of lunacy I guess)….(and I didn’t have to spend time colouring in string/finding seven different coloured wools)….(“wools”?…is that a word?)…

Sketchy 210

…now we are getting somewhere…

…where?….

…anybodys guess….

Sketchy 209

…(as suggested by a regular reader commenting on the previous sketchbook page)…

…more “electrical drawings”….

…(although I had been thinking “tube train maps”)….

…(but really it’s tentacles)…

…(it’s always tentacles)….

…(unless it’s skulls and crossbones)…..

Sketchy 208

…what was I thinking?….

…tidier thoughts…

…that’s what I was thinking….

…(but putting those tidier thoughts in to practice may be a big ask)…

Sketchy 207

….clarity is a fleeting thing…

…that sometimes can only be grasped after many false starts…

…(or sometimes not at all)…

…(or sometimes only for your own minds eye)…

Sketchy 206

….try from the inside….

..out…

…(spooky)….

…(these seem to be writing themselves from 4 months ago)….

Sketchy 190

…this one is going straight to my paintbook….

..er…

…when I get a spare moment…

…(I told myself that 5 months ago)…

…(“spare moments” have been officially re-designated as “rare moments”)….
