Starting my second year sketch book

As it's the start of second year on my course, I have started a new sketchbook which I will be sharing on here. To continue practicing my drawing skills I thought it would be a good idea to do some quick 1 minute sketches with Sharpie. This would force me to not worry about rubbing out mistakes and to hopefully be able to draw better in less time in the future.

Firstly I drew, Ribblehead Viaduct which I visited over the summer. And a view out of a small cave in Silverdale. I think the drawing of Ribblehead turned out well, showing the overall shape of the area however I am not happy with the Silverdale drawing because it is not very clear

. I think to improve quick sketches in the future I will use biro instead as it is less thick.

Next, I drew some gardens I work at. This includes the Old Zoo, a striking modern garden with a large maze and Storrs Hall, a large hotel overlooking lake Windermere. For the small amount of time I spent on these I think the shape of the landscape is clear but I need to work better on getting the proportions better.
