The Sketchbook Project 2011 (more pages)

I've finished another four pages of my little sketchbook. all of them drawn on Fabriano F4, sliced in half then stuck into the little book.  Why? See my post here to find out about the first pages and the Sketchbook Project.

The moleskine sketchbook is getting to feel like a small child's little cardboard book with it's extra thick pages but I quite like it like that.  It makes a lovely creaky noise when you turn the pages! 
I'm not sure where I'm going yet with the theme ' face in a crowd', I have a feeling that  it's more where will the sketchbook take me?  What will be our destiny?

These are both fabulous. Love the fact that you are focusing on children in these few pages.

Great pages Cathy!
Just joined myself and waiting for the book (and my summer work to finish). What kind of glue are you using to stick the paper in?

Love how much they are related to life itself. It's what we've seen before, it's what's happening to people everyday. =) Beautiful drawings!

These are absolutely beautiful pages! It really feels like we are moving along a path - it's exciting that you don't even know where we are going! But I will follow..

What great fun we're all going to have following you on this "sketchy" LOL journey.

Fantastic pages! I wonder if it will be coming close to my area when it travels? This would be incredible to see in person!

Hello! And thanks for stopping by my blog. I thought I would see who was stalking me and see you have some wonderful work here.

I also just signed up for the Sketchbook Project but haven't received my book yet. After everything I've heard about the crappy paper I think I'm going to go ahead and rebind mine.

Looking forward to seeing how your book unfolds.

Just great drawings, Cathy! Very good work!
What are you using to colour them? Watercolours? And what's your experience with the paper?
Tell us more about it, please :)
