I've discovered that I'm not really into detailed graphite scientific drawings, my style is more sketchy and loose but I've developed more skills in how to measure and look more carefully at my subject before starting my drawing.
Here are a few pages from my sketchbook:
I took my sketchbook on a recent trip to Flinders Island, a hidden gem off the North-East coast of Tasmania. As my luggage was restricted on the small plane flight from Melbourne, my sketchbook kit was an ideal art project. I spent many hours in our campervan drawing found objects from the beach.
