last saturday and sunday i was working in my studio on this oil painting. i still have to finish it, but it'll be from the photo I took cause i had to return every object to their places.

seeing the image on the computer i've realized her left eye is smaller than the right one. but well, it's a study and one attempt to do a portrait only with WC without pencil first as I usually do.

originally uploaded by dibujando arte.

i don't know very much the meaning of the words tart / sour, i mean in which cases can it be applied, if metaphorically. i found this woman had a very acid mood. the explanation is in the sketch, i added it with paint shop pro. i also did this one from the LCD from my camera. I'm so happy with it, I only bought it less than a month ago!

yesterday i went to a sketch contest at the museum of natural sciences. i sketched for a while. i forgot to take a photo of the one i did for the contest. i didn't get a prize or anything but the important for me is to participate and to spend a nice day with my friends.

i did this one after a photo i took of a cat outside the museum, and directly from the 1,5" LCD display of the camera. it was fun.

this is a quick sketch i did yesterday during one of the classes. i see i need to practise more. i wish i can find the time to do it. life is getting too boring without being able to draw as much as i'd like. i guess i should fix a couple of things...
