You'll have to just accept my apology for the images being in completely the wrong order. This is the second time I've had to upload them due to none of them being landscape format and me not realising that I couldn't rotate them here (watch someone send me a comment telling me how to do it in blogger now... haha). I regret, also, the fact that I haven't been posting frequently at all. I could claim that I've had a family crisis, midlife crisis or third world crisis but I'd be lying. The truth of it is I've been working on the above drawings, going to dinner, reading copius amounts of sci-fi and working on a large scale drawing at college. Said drawing is roughly 15ft X 8ft.

Most of these drawings have been done from the river Aire or from the area between Manchester and Holmefirth (the real windblasted northern plains, haha). The more and more I do it seems that they become more about drawing and less about clouds, landscapes or indeed anything else. The subject matter seems to be a prompt and although it affects the process hugely, it is barely a deciding factor in how many of the drawings look by the end.
