As you may know I've been spending some time during my lunch breaks at work doing some drawing, which is a pleasant way to pass the time in the middle of the day. As ever, coming up with ideas for drawing projects is difficult for me. I need to find something I feel I am capable of rendering in sketch form and also which interests me. I am an avid follower of current affairs and I've found photo journalism to have given me some inspiration (my Kobani and Gaza images for example).

I found a great shot of workers dismantling the Indian Navy Ship INS Vikrant at a ship breakers yard in Mumbai by photo journalist Danish Siddiqui. This is my work in progress based on this shot. I want to gradually improve upon my urban sketching and whereas in the past I've focused on single figures or buildings I want to try and move on to piecing a whole scene together. Clearly I am over-stretching myself but I think you have to do that to try to progress.
