Sketch of the evening: Construction is underway next to the place where I work. This time a view from far, from a field.
Croquis du soir : construction en cours juste à côté du lieu où je travaille. Cette fois-ci vue depuis le champ en friche.
I went hiking and sketching today in Sai Kung Country Park to support "Save Our Country Park" Alliance. The aim of the alliance is to protect every inch of our precious nature reserve within the many country parks in Hong Kong.
The pro-China Hong Kong government (a government which is not elected by the people of Hong Kong but appointed by Beijing, China) is proposing to develop our parks into new towns as it is estimated the population will continue to rise in our 7 million people city-state despite the fact that birth rate has always been low. Since the handover from Britain to China in 1997, Hong Kong has gained almost 1 million of population due to the unregulated inflow of immigrants from China. The pro-China Hong Kong government simply does not exercise its right to screen people from China, a right that is enshrined in Hong Kong's constitution, the Basic Law.
Immigrants from China must be screened and our precious country parks must not be touched!

Trying something new ...
Sketching from a photo, choosing the subject, doing a quick line drawing and leaving out what is not important to my sketch.
Maybe, or hopefully, seeing and sketching from photos for a while may help me seeing better on site.

I easily could have done something like this on site had I walked around for a while and think before doing instead of choosing a difficult to draw building and not knowing where to start.
From sketching to etching. I posted the original sketch a few weeks ago and then the world changed, so in response to pandemic guidelines I am working in studio more. In this case have scanned the original sketch cropped, reversed, and resized the image to fit a 3"x5" format. From there I used a dry point to scratch the image into a plexiglass plate. Top is the reverse image gray scale scan. Middle is the 1st test print that wasn't wiped enough. Bottom is the second test print that I removed to much ink in the wiping process. Much is to be learned from mistakes and failures. I am on a never ending quest.
Last Saturday, a small tour around the new City Hall of Montpellier. China Ink and bucket, just for the pleasure of dipping .... Big sketch book 25 / 50 cm.
Samedi dernier, petite excursion autour de la nouvelle Mairie de Montpellier. Plume et encre de chine en godet, juste pour le plaisir d'y tremper la plume.... Sur grand carnet 25 sur 50 cm.
Collection of sketches used as pre production of my fashion serieses, they all took an average of 15 mins. They were lots of help to conceptualize the poses and ideas behind thie photos, inspired or sometimes copied from fashion magazines, comics, and friends.
I started of sketching the chair and then added the rest of the elements around it. Finally ended up capturing a impression of what i am drawing in my skechbook.
I’ve been trying different surfaces to see if they can mimic Rocketbook pages and erase Pilot Frixion inks completely by wiping with a wet cloth or tissue. So far I’ve found that dry erase index cards, overhead transparencies, Dura-Lar film, and (as in this case) Epson Photo paper all work.
Frixion pen and highlighter sketch on Epson 3.5x5 inch glossy photo paper. Scanned on Epson flatbed scanner. Edited in Snapseed, SketchClub, and iColorama on an iPad.

A sketch i did at school on some notebook paper. I love drawing hands and for the first time in a while, i added shading. Its good practice that definitely need. I liked the idea as well. Not so sure about the smoke. Had to play around with it a little but the end result was satisfying.
