I love the moment the Big Draw arrives in October, its the perfect moment to have a good excuse for making your mark somewhere around the world. As a massive fan of sketchbooks and drawing for its own pleasure, we have created a mammoth blackboard in a corridor where I teach at the University of Portsmouth .
A huge amount of students walk to and fro and the urge to respond to our constant themes has been remarkable.The joy of picking up the chalk and having a go has brought about some wonderful drawing. I have photographed just a few of the little gems that have appeared.
