Pencil Sketching

Although not so obvi­ous from the title, Pen­cil Sketch­ingis really about sketch­ing land­scapes and archi­tec­ture. It’s a pretty great book with so many great sketches that it makes you want to get out there and draw noth­ing but buildings!

Drawing Birds

When I found this book by the Royal Soci­ety for the Pro­tec­tion of Birds and saw some sam­ple pages, I knew I would love every sin­gle page in it! It is full of beau­ti­ful sketches and paint­ings, not just by John Busby, but many other great wildlife artists from around the world. My favourites are the quick pen­cil stud­ies of spar­rows, war­blers, tits and other really adorable birds : )
