One Sketch 302) Usain Bolt

A Jamaican sprinter called Bolt
A sprinter supreme with fault
Who tore down the track
Without holding back
A bugger to bring to a halt

Challenged on sketching every day to match the prompt - the Carbbean - I chose this iconic figure.

Oe Sketch 301) Rohan Daniel Eason

I have to be honest,
I can see it would get you down
Waking up halfway
Between a cyberman
And a clown.

Featured artist on Sketching Every Day today is the ultra-brilliant Rohan Daniel Eason. This man is a master of monochrome. This is an inferior copy of an illustration he made for Doctor Who Tales of Terror. All that talent, and he illustrates Doctor Who as well. I'm in total awe of the man.

One Sketch 300 (THREE HUNDRED!) - Murcia Cathedral

We've come so far
Well, what d'you know?
300 down
And 65 to go.

The prompt on Sketching Every Day was - I was here -. Well, this is Murcia Cathedral, and I actually was here, back in August. You may even recall me posting pictures sketched on my day out in Murcia back at the time.

How about that then? 300 days! I'm really happy about it, especially since that second hundred, since that second hundred, between July and October, seemed to take forever, while this third hundred seems to have gone much more quickly. I'm tempted to start discussing now what Effect I think it's had on me that I've made at least one sketch of some kind every day for 300 days in a row, but that would be premature, and it can wait until the end of March when I will complete the challenge, providing that I can keep it up for 65 more days.

One Sketch 299) (Friday 18th January) Photo Portrait Prompt

Look at my face

And see the beauty

of the commonplace.

This does exactly what it says on the tin. The prompt for yesterday was to copy one of a number of photographs provided on the site. I like the photo of this chap, and since it's a wee while since I tried to paint any kind of portrait I thought I'd have a go. Not too bad.

One Sketch 298) Kaunas Old Town

Sleepy streets shiver,
waiting for late spring
To breathe life
Into dusty cobbles.

This is an ink and wash of Kaunas old town which I visited back in April, when I certainly did my fair share of shivering in the springtime. Pretty Place, though.

One Sketch 297) (Wednesday 16th January) Dragon Appreciation!

Although they're not that cuddly
I think I like them most
Although they're quite aggressive
They can help you make great toast.

Silly, sorry. This was the prompt on Sketching Every Day on Wednesday, which is when I made it. It's a copy of an absolutely brilliant drawing I found on the net - this copy really doesn't do it justice, but it's the best that I can do.

One Sketch 296) Anita Klein - Sad Dog

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
What is quite as nice
As a cuddle with
A warm pup?

OK - featured artist on the Sketching Every Day group - artist Anita Klein. I picked a sketch of hers called Sad Dog - you can see my copy of it above. And that's about it for sketch 296
