I had to attend a meeting on monday. This seemed to be a good place to try this grid drawing.
I added the colors later when I came home. I had to be carefull, I didn't find any waterproof ink for fountain pens yet. Noodlers ink is not available over here.
This way of drawing is fun. There will be more of these...
Change please
Change for dreams...

Still working on last week's challenge (took more time than I thouht it would to make the idea work). So, this week is a quickie.
This is mine...I try to declutter regulary. My desk is empty when I'm not busy with a project. Bookshelves, and there are a lot ( I should also draw the other side of the room), are more messy...books, magazines, materials,...

La Bocca della Verità (English, The Mouth of Truth) is a famous sculpted image of a human face in Rome, Italy. The sculpture is thought to be part of an ancient Roman fountain or perhaps a "manhole" cover, portraying a river god.

You can also have a look at the real one. And yes, I did put my hand in it's mouth !
This was a rather fascinating challenge. First I saw only boring, plain grey lights in a row. Not very inviting to draw, later on I saw each town as a different style of lights, a kind of identty...I like the one on the left.
I wanted to add some color to the drawing (see previous post) - experimenting with watercolor pencils. Messed it up. I will have to wait for another chance to draw her sleeping.
Meanwhile I got some experience on how this WC pencils behave...
