This week's optional challenge is to use your weaker hand to sketch - so, if you are right handed, sketch with the left, if you are left handed sketch with the right.

If you haven't been before keep your eyes open for anyone carrying a sketch book and come and say hello. Don't worry if you're late, most of us usually are! 

Hope to see you there!
