Art it Up. This is a weekly meme hosted by Tabitha over at Not Yet Read. The idea being to see if you can come up with some inspiration for a little sketch or doodle from your last week’s reading or just anything else in general. this week I’ve reviewed The Just City by Jo Walton – which is all about a city that aims to be just and also I’ve read Karina Cooper’s Tempered (No.4 of the St Croix Chronicles review to follow – 1, 2 and 3 here). If you’ve read any of the St Croix books you’ll understand my circus ‘big top’. For the Just City I went for the Statue of Justice – but I’ve changed it and tipped the scales! Both very good reads. Sketches – well, a bit ropey but strangely I enjoy having a scribble. Now, check out Not Yet Read for all the goodies!
I just won a copy of Tempered, so I’m very curious to start that series. Love your circus drawing!
I’m enjoying it – Tempered is the 4th, have you read the others?? It’s an unusual series but enjoyable. I don’t know whether I wouldn’t call if PNR – although there’s more to it if you know what I mean!

Oh I love that circus – I have the hardest times trying to draw circus tents I always get the perspective completely wrong!
Haha, you jest for sure! You can certainly draw perspective – on anything. I love your doodles!
Lynn 😀
I didn’t know you could draw! And so well! I’m a little envious right now. 🙂
I’ve nominated you for the One Lovely Blog Award. Congrats!

Well, I scribble or doodle really – I don’t consider myself an artist – but thanks!
And thanks for the nomination – that’s really thoughtful of you!
Lynn 😀
Wow, that is amazing. I particularly love the shading you did at the entrance of the circus tent. I’m pretty awful at the simple stuff. c: Great post!
Aw, thanks! I’m a pretty simple sketcher but they’re just quick and easy and it’s just a bit of fun!
