a try with watermak

(it's also from last summer's set photos in La Lucila del Mar).

EDM # 81 - draw a streetlight

this is from another photo from my vacations las february. it's liquid ink pen, a wash, then added a light blue watercolour pencil layer for the sky, a wash to it and some touches of white rottring ink.

EDM challenge # 62 - part II

this is also to complete challenge # 62, collage is a medium i have almost never used, though i found it quite interesting. this is just a made up figure with bits of paper from a restaurant leaflet i was given in the street. i first added glue to the sketchbook page then some watercolour on top, then started hand-cutting the pieces and sticking. i added some contour with sepia ink and a fine brush then at the end i drew the side, numbers, etc.

EDM challenge # 62 + # 37

It's a view from the sea to the fisher's club in La Lucila del Mar.

just two very quick sketches. i dripped the too thick yellow acrylic on the page of the sketchbook and rubed it quicly with a brush.

study of lights in Caravaggio's The calling of Saint Matthew

i started this as a quick skecth, but ended up making a study of composition lights and shadows from a book about Caravaggio . I kept on adding roght details for about 1 hour then. In a way I felt attracted to try a new pencil* I had bought last week on this A4 sized sketchbook I did with brown paper.

* lumocolor permanent by Staedtler (waterproof)

inspired by the beautiful leaves Teri does, during the weekend I wanted to try some, then this is my attempt to draw a gardenia and its leaves. i'll keep on insisting on flowers and leaves...

edm # 28 - draw an appliance or anything else you like

my friend Marisa brought it for me last summer as a present. it's a VERY useful gadget.

(the lettering on top of the pendriver is added with paint shop pro)

edm # 7- draw a bottle, jar or tin from the kitchen

an ice cubes container. seeing the drawing now, Eddi Reader singing "just a little twisted, it's just a little twisted that's all" comes to my head...

EDM challenges # 123 - 37 - 132

this bell is a brass keyring I bought when I was 12 going on 13, so I take it with me everywhere eversince. i've had it for over 23. i can't go anywhere if i don't have it. i'd say it's more important to have my bell than the keys, hahaha. anyway i love to collect keyrings, i don't know how many i have or how many i've lost too...

EDM # 14 - draw what you see in the morning when you get up

this is part of the chaos in my bedroom when i get up, in this case i drew it last night while in bed, but it was what i was going to see this morning when getting up, and certainly did.

EDM # 136 - draw something that's alive

flying ants... everyday they appear from somewhere. i caught some of them into the jar to be able to draw them. they move too fast though... my attempt is in the sketch

feet sketches - 4

these are the fourth try. the image had a little more resolution than the previous ones, so i could detail a little more, though the shape leaves me uncertain... i'm not usually doing overdetailed work nowadays, it was my passion a few years ago but practising from time to time isn't bad.

feet sketches 1 - 2 - 3 /5 - 6







1 - 2 -3

numbered in order how i started to sketch - from left to right - top bottom. these were made after the images posted as PROJECT 1 at the Classical Figure Drawing group run by Brian.
