I\u2019ve just been away on a sketching\/mooching\/laughing holiday with some very dear chums, something I\u2019ve been doing from time to time for years. These trips, organised by the very-moose-like Julian Sedgwick<\/a>, are moments of heightened drawing activity for me \u2013 intervals of proper sketching between prolonged bouts of quotidian daily grind moleskine wipe-out. I always come back determined to keep up the pace, but I never manage it for long.<\/div>\n
Here\u2019s a sketch of Adrian Reynolds<\/a> playing his banjo, which he does with great flare (despite my cheesy sound effects). Click for a closer look. I didn\u2019t draw his face because I was more interested in his fingers. In fact, I\u2019m especially interested in his fingers right now because Adrian is, as I write this, illustrating my next picture book in rhyme, due out next year with Andersen Press<\/a>. I hope he doesn\u2019t break a nail.<\/div>\n
