Here are the rest of my illustrations for Old Spitalfields Market for the likes of Jigsaw, GBK, Wagamama and Lomography. They were all done with pen and pencil, left to then be coloured in when displayed on the Luma Digi Wall each day during December. It actually worked so well, I had a lot of fun playing with it when I popped down there!
My name is Ruth, and I'm a freelance illustrator and artist living in London. This blog documents a mixture of my illustration work, sketched reviews & life in the big bad wonderful city of London. www.ruthjoyce.co.uk

The Eighty Fourth Doodle - a trip to Paris
Well
goodness, I'm terribly sorry I've been absent for a while. I am just
incredibly, incredibly popular and have no time to type.
LOLZ total lie, I have like 3 friends.
ANYWAY so I went to Paris last week woop! I have heard that some tourists get the dreaded 'Paris syndrome', where they are so distraught that the reality of the city does not live up to their ridiculous dream-like and nonsensical envisions that they become almost depressed, but thankfully I did not suffer from such a stupid syndrome. Because it's stupid.
Paris was ineed very beautiful and had a lovely vibe to it, and we had a marvelous time rambling around. I created this wee illustration just before we went in anticipation -
I definitely did eat too many pastries, drank a lot of red wine, went up the Eiffel Tower and walked so much my feet hurt like buggary.
Good times :)
Good times :)

The Twenty-Fifth Doodle
I love drawing people. Love it.
Now don't get me wrong, I have gotten much more open minded in my old age (oh lord I will be 26 this year ahhhhh). I have become facinated by buildings and even animals, things I used to hate to draw. But essentially, my soul is still in people.
The muscle structure. The way the light reacts to skin. Hair and how it moves. Those beautiful folds in shirts that we would never normally notice, until you really, really look. Eyes. Lips. Necks.
Amazing. People, you are all GORGEOUS to me.

The Sixteenth Doodle
I love to try and quickly capture someone while they're there in front of you, just bein' alive.
This was one of the market traders in Camden early one morning, having a break while setting up his stall. They all seem to smoke, though this may be my selective memory. Maybe it helps.
