Peach revisited

Another day, other light conditions, other paper, other attempt.
Not satisfied yet. Any advice welcome.

EDM # 133 Peach

Ingredients for a smoothie... My daughter loves it. She almost couldn't wait.

IF - Captain

Aye Aye Sir
Ready when you are

In my holiday I had some time to play around...

EDM # 131 Spray Bottle

Back from vacation and I want to work on a new habit. Create first thing in the morning...so, I can I improve my skills and I'm not too tired in the evening to start with drawing/painting. Obviously mornings are not my 'best moment'. I hope it will improve as I cultivate the habit.

IF - Moon

I pointed out to you the moon
and all you saw was the tip of my finger

This is one of my favorite quotes...

Manikin breakin' loose

and what a fun it was !!!

IF - Poem

EDM # 127 Skyscape

Strange weather

"And I never buy umbrellas,
for there's always one around.
Marianne Faithfull

This drawing was an experiment to render this kind of pictures (from summer last year) into a black/white pencil drawing. Much harder than I thought it would be... or maybe I need more patience.

EDM # 126 Sponge

The best time to plan a book is while you're doing the dishes.
Agatha Christie (1890 - 1976)

IF - Camouflage

EDM #124 Yellow

And the manikin is back...

Glasses

I know this was one of the challenges...have to llok up the number.
Anyway, I'm back into drawing
and more ideas are waiting

Habit & 21 days

I was told it takes 21 days to create an habit. Well...after been very busy (work, work, work) for a month now I almost lost the drawing habit. I couldn't finish EDIM, although I did draw more than posted here. Anyway, it was hard to restart. And finaly I resumed where I ended last time. This picture from a magazine...I'm still not where I want, I do lack patience and I will let go ...Time for new challenges...

EDM # 119 Rock (Stone)

Drawing a rock from live when you live in a city...isn't evident. Instead I drew this stone. Some years ago I decorated it in a workshop 'Meaningful work, meaningful life' I still have this stone, although I don't especialy like the way it's decorated.

Still participating in the May-challenge and this is entry 100 on this blog.

Time to let go...

Time to let go...I think it's the closest I can get to this picure from a magazine. It still doesn't feel completly right, but I have to let go...

Still triggered by a picture in a magazine

I'm still triggered by this picture from a magazine. Trying to capture the essence of it. I'm not there yet... I will not finish this one, this is going nowhere...
but I will try again ...

see also the upside down attempts some days ago:

Flowers

Needed to finish this one one time, before I had to throw away the flowers...


I did some more drawings last days, nothing 'blogable', just some sketches & scribbles. In fact, there are only 2 days this month I didn't draw, and that's quite a progress. I even have colorful illustrated notes from a training this week...fun to go back an review the course!

IF - Signs

This challenges (IF -Signs) comes right on time. I've been to a workshop where we discussed signs & symbols, the meaning of symbols for our own life...we've got an assignment to create our own sign/symbol. I was doodling and came with these... I would love some feedback. Which do you like most? And when you see these signs/symbols, which keywords come to your mind? All answers are highly appreciated.

Work in progress I

My first attempt to pastels...
