More sketch book pages

I decided to add some pages from my sketchbook that I did when I was out working on Tatoosh; the reference to E-dock is the dock where Tatoosh is moored in Sidney B. C. As you can see, I've discovered that some of the ink I have is NOT waterproof and does not dry quickly, hence the smudges/smears on some of the pages.







Drawing Block continues

Although I know intellectually that to overcome this drawing block  I just need to draw, I've still not tackled a stand-alone drawing/painting for some time. However, I am still trying to do something everyday in my sketchbooks. I've posted some pages from my sketch book to prove that I'm not completely out of the picture ( no pun intended). Most of these are from a moleskin-like sketch book made in India. I don't buy the moleskins since they are now manufactured in China. I'm not happy with the paper, it is a bit fuzzy which is not so good for fine nibbed fountain pens,etc. However, it does take a light wash so I can use light watercolour washes for colouring.
The book is called "hand-book", from Global Art Materials, Inc Kansas City. I got mine at Mona Lisa art supply in Calgary.

 Above is the sort of aimless doodling i'm proned to do in the evening or with a coffee/tea break.
