I practice sketching basic forms again

After months of traveling and guiding tourists, I feel the need of taking my sketchbook and pencil for practicing sketching again. 

This simple sketch of cherry that I made using Faber Castell watercolour pencils is also a kind of practice that will help me getting used to drawing basic shapes. I hope that in the future, I can be more productive again in creating art illustrations based on the animal and flowers that I saw in nature.

Actually more of my recent sketches are not directly related to wildlife. Today I also draw things like lamp, power bank, the string winder of the guitar, cups and teapot.

These objects help me become getting used to drawing basic forms again, so that I can create more complex art illustration in the future. Practicing sketching enables an illustrator to use straight and curved lines in more controllable ways.
