New house drawing

I did this pic of a house belonging to some friends of my Aunt's a few weeks back. The day was freezing cold, with a bitter wind. By the end my hands were pretty much numb and I was so glad to get back to the station and warm up in the waiting room. Was still a great experience going out of London to draw on location.

Narrow Street

Drew this old warehouse in Narrow Street, Limehouse today. Was freezing cold, with quite a bitter wind coming from the East. After finishing I went and warmed up with a green tea and chocolate flapjack in Departure Cafe, near Limehouse Station.

Limehouse Sketches

So, I've started to do a few sketches around my new place in Limehouse. Seems like there's going to be loads of great stuff to sketch, so really excited.

These are a house opposite a coffee shop in Wapping, (meant I could sit down which was nice) and also part of a warehouse down Narrow Street.

This is a more modern house by the Shadwell Basin / Brussells Wharf.

Heading back

This is an old picture from my Belgium and Hamburg trip. Some different views from the windows and of the train. Would love to do another train trip soon!

Bike handlebars

I did a quick drawing of my bike's handlebars leaning against the side in the bike space on the train. It's pretty unusual for the space to be free, people normally sit there, even when there are seats available elsewhere on the train.

Covent Garden

I did this in Henrietta Street, Covent Garden a little while back. There are a couple of camping shops, behind where I was sitting. This is looking towards Bedford Street.

Old pic of Borders

I drew this a little while back from the window of the jazz cafe in Foyles. This used to be Borders before they closed down. I love Foyles, but was still such a pity to see Borders go. The one on Oxford Street stayed open until 11PM and had an amazing selection of magazines. I think London definitely lost out when they went.
