Drawing animals

Quick sketching, even quicker photographing


 My sketching and photographing pleasures at my parents' place.



Tonight there was a fire at the neighbour block in our multi-block apartment building. The was a lot of smoke and several fire brigades and the feeling of fear in the air.
I wonder how these people, the owners of the flat survived the first night of knowledge that their flat did not exist any more. So sorry.

Sketching the city

Another quick sketch in the park not far from my house.
The weather is so good, so warm and sunny and midsummer-ly, that you start smiling uncontrollably, enjoying the moment of here and now ( I need urgently to study Photoshop, these bluish whites drive me crazy :-)).


My everyday activity in Moscow photoblog provides a lot of photos, many of them are not "show your city" format but very much more "personal tunes stuff". So I will try to post them here, maybe you will be interested.

This one was taken in the convent, I planned it as a good model for sketching, if I only had the time...

Organised Chaos


A4, Ink pen
Saturday, time for my drawing class. Today I had to choose location inside the studio and sketch it, the lesson was aiming at feel for the composition.


And, to add color to my post, I decided to share my morning experiment with camera features. As it turned out,  camera can swap the colors. And my first wish was to fool the flowers. I just can not imagine what will happen when I learn Photoshop...

Hunger for Red

The sketch was inspired by James Parker's challenge "Windows to the Words". I was late with my input , as the deadline closed on 1st July, and even with all possible time differences, I was late. I am sorry, James.
The theme is reflections, glass is very interesting to draw and photo choice was really generous.
It is done in oil pastel with drops of white acrylic. Mixed media, the profi-artists call this style. I can explain this style differently - good escape when you are not very familiar and do not feel free about the whites :-))

Birds Again


Here I was experimenting with cool and warm colors. Daylight is cold light, means cold object with warm shadows (my teacher's quote). OK, I do so. And I try to do the opposite. And I like both. Looks like the main spice - not to mix cold and warm inside object or inside the shadow.
