We've nearly come to the end of this autumn's Strictly Come Dancing series, a highlight on Saturday evening television.
It's very difficult to draw the dancers as they move around and the dresses appear at many different angles. I have been trying to memorise the clothes but it's a lot harder than you would think!
It's easier with the faces as they come up again and again and it's possible to keep on adding to the sketch. I loved Darcy Bussel in her Morticia make up and hair, it really suited her.
I'm planning to start a new sketchbook in the new year to concentrate on fashion drawing, using a lovely book Justine has given me as inspiration. I am hoping to remember and draw all the clothes I have made myself over the last 55 years.
My figure drawing is seriously rusty so this will be quite a challenge, getting the proportions right and coming up with my own 'look'.
Next time I'll show you some of the film stars I've drawn, some recognisable, some definitely not!
