oldfruit Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Bit of an artist on the quiet Dave? Never tried sketching myself but i have read that it is also good for sharpening your observing skills as you concentrate more whilst trying to catch the finer details. Will you be using one of the templates you can download from the internet? Edited May 15, 2012 by oldfruit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz Type-R Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Weather tonight for Nottingham is rubbish but wednesday is looking awesome!! Good luck if you do manage to get some clear skies, make sure you put some pictures up of your scetching when finished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
