On not going back to school. Staying at not school?

13th August 2018 by Jax Blunt Leave a Comment

We went out and about today, and bought stationery for the new not-school year that's fast approaching. None of this terminology makes much sense.

Sketching.

24th December 2016 by Jax Blunt 3 Comments

I've a little moleskine book I've been drawing in for some time now. It's easy to look back and see how much I've improved.  Noses are still difficult, but I'm getting proportions of faces better I think. There's starting to be expression in the eyes - or am I looking at it too … [Read more...] about Sketching.
