EDM #164

EDM #164. Draw your camera.
In 2009 I quit office job and started working for myself. The fear of death by starvation was dancing behind my back while I was dreaming to afford the New Year present to myself,  new camera, semi-pro Cannon G10. I managed to earn enough extra to buy this toy and since 2009 we have been in strong and steady relationship.

Sketching People

Back to Wednesday life sketching. This time the girl was so beautiful and harmonious, that 1, 3, 5, 15 minutes sketching became such a stress. I've got so tired trying to catch her curves flow with not much success.

EDM #184

If you have no idea what to sketch, but your inner conductor forces you to get back to drawing asap, EveryDayMatters group offers great list of ideas. I use number generator to choose the subject for the exercise.
#184: Draw a park bench. Yessir.

Hellesylt, Norway

Summer 2013. Did I tell you that Norway is one of the most stunning places of our beautiful planet? Neither camera, nor my modest attempts to sketch can reflect the pureness and harmony of this land.

White Roofs

The view from my window on one cold sunny day not long ago. Roofs were responding to the sudden sun on overcast day. Drawn from memory with mixed media on craft paper.

Sketching People

Live sketches sessions on Wednesday evenings help me remember the joy of drawing, which really makes me happy.
Cheap craft paper and thick graphite stick are great allies for the beginner. 

Sketchbook Pages

White spots on the toes parts were reserved with white wax crayon. Week-end was well spent.

I keep attending live drawing class once a week. This time it was white pen and graphite on craft paper.
