John's Quavering Pencil

I shall be starting a weekly class in sketching this Wednesday, at the Lit & Phil in Newcastle, so I’m trying to get in a bit of practice ahead of time. My main concern is to improve my skills in drawing with pencil, at the moment, so I copied this woman from an advertisement in a glossy magazine.

Practice pencil drawing from my sketchbook

Yesterday in my SL concert I played ‘As long as s/he needs me’ as an instrumental in an electric piano voicing on my Yamaha digital piano. It seemed to go quite well, and I would like to try to include an instrumental piece like that from time to time. I also sang the song ‘She’ (it featured in the film Notting Hill) for the first time. My accompaniment needs to be strengthened a little, but I shall definitely add it into my repertoire song list. I think the song was originally by Charles Aznavour. Speak to you later, my dear blogophiles.
