Geldof and New Pencil
This was a fun sketch, and will probably be my next acrylic. The last few sketches I've posted have been with ordinary wood pencils, because last week I left my clutch pencil on the bus coming back from Scotland. I now realise how lost I feel without it, as I bought a new one today (see picture), and it's like putting on a comfortable pair of shoes. It's a Pentel Twist-Erase automatic pencil, with a 0.7mm HB lead.

Is your old tech pencil purple by any chance? If so, you've not left it on the bus. He's safe.... for now! :)
Great Bob BTW.
Craig, no this was one the same as the one in the photo. I was drawing with it on the bus and left it on the seat.
Thanks Nelson, I see what you mean.
A lot of people in America wouldn't know the Boomtown Rats. "I Don't Like Mondays" was their only hit here. They were a great band. I always thought Geldof's lyrics were amazing. "Diamond Smiles" and "I Never Loved Eva Braun", just to name two, were remarkable happy songs about exeptionally grim subjects. Between 1979 and 1981 I lived in England and bought everything the Rats put out.
