Inspired by this week's Urban Sketchers weekly theme, "Oddities in Your Town," I sketched this elephant sign on Aurora Ave. North, Seattle. Blog post: tina-koyama.blogspot.com/2013/04/the-elephant-on-aurora.html (Platinum Carbon ink, watercolor, Stillman & Birn sketchbook)
A young school boy drawing inspiration from the 5th century sculptures under a small stream of sunlight!
Some car drawings I did (my favourite subject back then) between 1982 and '86-'87.
All were done looking at photos from the magazines I used to read ("Car" "Road & Track" etc) or from actual drawings published in the said magazines.
This one is a bit special for me as this was my first car, a 1978 Honda Civic owned by my family and given to me at '83 when I took my licence. (complete with my Greek licence plates from the time...)
I photographed it on purpose to draw it, enlarged the photo, so that it made my life easier and...presto.
“«Non pretenderei troppo da lei» arrischiai. «Non si può ripetere il passato. »
«Non si può ripetere il passato?» fece lui incredulo. Ma certo che si può! »
Si guardò attorno sconvolto, come se il passato fosse in agguato nelle ombre della casa, appena fuori portata delle sue mani.
«Rimetterò tutto esattamente com’era prima» disse facendo un gesto energico col capo. «Vedrai.»
Parlò molto del passato, e ne dedussi che cercava di ritrovare qualcosa, forse un concetto di se stesso che era scomparso nell’amore per Daisy. Da allora la sua vita era stata confusa e disordinata; ma se poteva ritornare a un certo punto di partenza e ricominciare lentamente tutto da capo, sarebbe riuscito a scoprire qual era la cosa che cercava… (…)
Gatsby credeva nella luce verde, il futuro orgiastico che anno per anno indietreggia davanti a noi. C’è sfuggito allora, ma non importa: domani andremo più in fretta, allungheremo di più le braccia…e una bella mattina…
Così continuiamo a remare, barche contro corrente, risospinti senza posa nel passato.”
Il Grande Gatsby – Francis Sott Fitzgerald

A very rough tracing sketch where I had to invent many of the details -- like the odd eyes and nose --because I couldn't find them in the photo, which shows my rank beginner status in drawing and ignorance of anatomy. Even though this doesn't look quite right I've decided to show it anyway, for now, simply as another example so far of my nondoodling fumbling around with iPad art apps. I might replace it with an improved version or, more likely, just delete it in a few days. You can see why I often retreat to patterns or abstract forms that don't have to resemble anything accurately.
By the way, that glass of beer is just as big in the photograph.
Here's the flickr photo my drawing is somewhat based on (my apologies to the photographer for not doing justice to his wonderful picture): www.flickr.com/photos/sashimanek/42102520/
I spend many hours browsing through flickr and looking again and again at my many favorites, which include some amazingly good line drawings. So if you want to see how good digital drawing can be, one place you can start is to look is at my flickr Favorites. For example, don't miss the drawings of Tom Pokinko and of Julio Giacomelli. Then look at their other drawings and the flickr groups linked to their drawings. I should put together some galleries of my favorite flickr drawings.
Lunchtime life drawing session at work. 90 seconds, done with zen brush app on iPad (using a 1 pixel brush). I like the way the pen bleeds when i stop moving the stylus - it has a bit of a felt marker feel.
I made this picture that I draw it xD, I hope you like mo I love drawing and I got bored a little bit to make Japanese anime.and I hope you comment =P
After finishing my first attempt at painting across my card stencil, I painted over the whole surface of it with blue acrylic paint.
This was mainly intended to provide a less absorbent surface than the raw card so that I can have a go at using the stencil for printing. However, i quite like the effect of the painted stencil itself viewed against a plain white background.
A scary clown, puking bird, shrunken head, a pig man, giant bug, a zombie foot, a lonely poop named Kevin, a city melting under acid rain! This is one ugly picture.
The bottle of Port I bought at the Mooiberg Padstal. Trying to capture glass with Watercolors in my journal.
