This is a selection of several of my more eye-catching drawings, portraying a variety of sketches, styles, and materials I’ve used with observational drawings.

A biro drawing of a shell (from my teacher’s box of exciting objects.)
Ink and stick sketches of some pinecones I found.
Ink and stick drawings of a large shell we were given around the same time as the pinecones.
A watercolour painting of a tree at RHS Wisley that I then tried to emulate in smaller sketches in less detail.
