Beach days

by Alice Savery

A few more sketches from Pembrokeshire - and the lesser spotted sand seal! I saw a photo of a sand seal like this in a magazine and thought it was wonderfully achievable and so my friend and her children made one while we were at the beach one day.

I challenged myself to do some speedy surfer sketches! There was a surf school and they were going through the different poses needed for surfing.

They didn’t stay still for any length of time and so working quickly was essential!

I loved the opportunity to use my neon colours (children’s ones which are fab!) and they worked well in contrast to the black ink I used for the wetsuits.
