Small drawing, approx A7, using Derwent Inktense pencils.

Trying something different for a change: colour(!), using water, and waiting for paint to dry. Thought this might be a problem but it's been a bit of a revelation cos I can still create in breaks from working at the computer.

Future experiments: neater edges and stretch paper.

Some things are still the same: it's small, unplanned and intuitive and I have no idea what it is.

A small, abstract pencil drawing. I do these right before I get into bed, when I'm tired and have stopped thinking.

A very late night drawing.

These have become my (almost) daily art practice. Drawing when I’m tired and my brain has stopped functioning fully is an unpredictable process. But that’s exactly why I do it. There's no pressure and that's liberating.

I never know what I’m going to draw. I simply make a mark and see what happens. This looks to me a bit like a fossil… or maggots having a feast!
