Another bumper edition sketchbook this month. And a very personal one. Some exploratory sketches here, stuff I’d consider sub-standard. Lots of personal content: family and Christmas. Variations on the view from my window, it being lockdown: lots of the Mercedes SLK and the Fiat 500 that park on the street outside. And some experiments with my new Duke 551 Fude nib fountain pen that my wife got me for Christmas, together with a bottle of De Attramentis Document Ink in Urban Grey, and a bottle of the associated fluid to dilute the mixture.

November 2020 Sketchbook
November was a quiet month for sketching. But when got to scanning pages I found more than I expected. You can see from the alternating page layout and colour that they are spread between the little notebook that I used for Inktober and a larger one with hot pressed watercolour paper.
Escapement
Clock mechanisms were the theme of homework over half term. So I made one.

Inktober 2020 #30 GN”OMONOUS”
The official Inktober prompt today is “OMINOUS”. I was finding it hard to interpret that as a drawing from life so I was asking my daughter to help think of a nice object to draw. We had been thinking about time-telling apparatus for her homework and she suggested a sun dial. Then she remembered the one at the Downing Site, outside the Sedgewick Museum with multiple Gnomons and whch, therefore, is truly Gnomonous.
