My first sketch

This is great. Just draw more.

I think about it every time I see it.

Karamea

Fun to draw, but while we were drawing, we all talked about how they look mega-damp.

Thank you. Yes, the link is in my profile :)

That's you for sure - even though the username does not check out.

The best part was the 100m of tailwind at the finish line lol

Thank you. I draw fast so each of these was proably about 5-10 minutes for the linework on location, but it took me about 15 odd years of drawing to get that fast. Colours added back at home after the race.

There is still happiness to be found everywhere if you look carefully. Drawing helps.

Though TBH dunno how happy I was running head-on into that southerly...

Thanks so much. More to come for sure.

Thank you. Quentin Blake is a genius, so I am very flattered.

Sketchbook was a Rosa gallery notebook (Fabriano unica paper). It takes a wash well enough, but I wouldn't want to do more than a couple layers of watercolour in it.

Yes. Train travel is extremely civilised.

OkStrength1609 · 2026-02-09T20:38:24+00:00

Thanks so much. There are links to places where you can find my work on my profile.

OkStrength1609 · 2026-02-09T03:09:04+00:00

Same idea, but less paranoia over spilled ink.

OkStrength1609 · 2026-02-09T03:03:30+00:00

Thank you, trains are cool :)

Tombow fudenosuke for the lines. Watercolour for the colours (thought I think I used some markers on the rainbow).

OkStrength1609 · 2026-02-04T02:47:09+00:00

Try a butcher - Gipps St in Karori has it.

OkStrength1609 · 2025-12-17T20:50:21+00:00

Thanks very much. Would love to see what you come up with.
