Week 9 - 03/28/10 to 04/03/10

I have been reading Sherlock Holmes novels and stories. Yesterday I read most of Hound of the Baskervilles (I still have about 30 pages left of it) and I was struck by how much Watson describes the moors. I admit I first had to look up exactly what a moor was, and discovered it's just a large expanse of uncultivated wasteland, usually dotted with bogs, and covered in a layer of heather. Exactly as Watson had described.

I drew several pictures of what I thought a moor would look like, none of which came especially close to the description of the Baskerville moor, but this was my favorite.

It's funny because this was the first attempt, and done with a bic pen no less.

And in case it isn't immediately apparent, that is not a river, but a road.

I think I will attempt a digital version of the moors.
