This is one of my grandfather's drawings, done as a 12-year old. He must have been pretty proud of his efforts! How he managed to lay such an even wash in watercolour is beyond me.
I don't know who drew the red lines. It looks like ball point pen. But then, ball point pens did not exist in 1900. Only the drawings done in 1900 have the red lines. The one drawing from 1901, doesn't.
The compass, btw, is mine. There was a time when I was able to draw very fine lines with the compass as well as the pen (the nib can be detached from the compass and attached to a ruling pen in order to draw straight lines) and Rapidographs! Sometimes, this was quite a tricky affair, especially when too much ink had been loaded. If there was not enough ink, it could run out before finishing a circle, or a line, and it was a bit of a pain to continue the line neatly with the new load of ink.
...is for National Cat Day!
Because we wouldn't want me to stray too far from a theme. I think it also works for being this close to Hallowe'en ;)
...just wanted to draw something that reminded me of summer.
Red, Yellow & Blue DeAtramentis Document inks, with Platinum Carbon black, & metallic gold ink (which doesn't show up well when photographed). Nice to see how well the Doc inks mix :)
While I was drawing this 1930s airport, a 1930s Junkers Ju 52 flew over!
I have work for sale on Etsy. Almost all sketches on Flickr are available as prints: www.etsy.com/de/shop/SteveFaradaySketches
I always draw on location but as this was a commissioned sketch, I drew from a photo so I wouldn’t look too obvious.
October may be over, but I'm still going to finish the prompt list.

The owner of the house where I was sitting said it’s typical for the Oststadt to have these old workshops in the courtyards. He joked that I was welcome to sit there and sketch, if I didn’t take anything.
Training myself to draw has been an interesting exercise. I studied the workds of Nicolas de Crecy, the Rat Rod artists, Stephan Marjoram, R.Crumb, S.Clay Wilson and many others. While I certainly will never develop the kind of talent they had, this has been a good way to "kill time" during the various periods of lockdown here in France during the Covid Pandemic.

I just popped out of an international urban sketchers exhibition and decided to sketch this man repairing this huge machine before he finished.
Christie took this picture of me in my room with my drawings, and that "blasty bad swipe" across the bottom of the photo happened when the people who made my prints RIPPED my negatives.
Most all of them were ruined, but they gave them to me for free, so whateffer.
Who curs.
"Why do you have hundreds of your own drawings up in your room?", you might ask. It is because i am an ego-maniac obviously....No, it's not jerks.
I found that when I started pinning my art up on my wall that it inspired me to draw like 95% more than I ever did.
I could scrutinize my drawings and think up new ideas or ways to do things better...And if you want to get really stupid with me...These characters are all kind of alive to me, so if i put them in a folder...How could we hang tough?
teehee.
Drawn with Mannheim and Heidelberg Urban Sketchers.
I was sat on a grille high above a kid's playground. Don't drop yer pen!
Inktober 2023
Day 8
TOAD
This year, I will try to make INKTOBER drawings based on popculture, drawn without sketching first.
I made this one with a small touch of HYPNOTOAD.
Before visiting the atelier, the children stopped at the bamboo tunnel and were invited to explore weaving with wool and raffia. It was quite tricky for some of the children and it took a little longer to get the hang of it, but soon some of them were weaving webs (and getting tangled!)
When we arrived in the atelier, we cooled down and picked up the feathers again to explore ink drawing. Natsu was particularly immersed in his drawing again and began to represent his outdoor experience, which he called the "spider web."
