Espejo

Mirror, or self portrait with pain in the ear.
I wont finish in time, but this alphabet thing is amusing and motivating me a lot. You should try it.

Desayuno

Breakfast, of course. I like the pencil work, but not so much the composition. Maybe it would have been better something like the following:

CHupachús




Chupa Chups is the main lollipops brand here in Spain, so we ended calling them all chupachús.
And yes, in spanish alphabet "ch" is a letter, well wikipedia sais it's a digraph, but it's considered as a letter also in Chamorro, Czech, Slovak, Quechua, Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Belarusian Łacinka alphabets
I'm eating it now, maybe I'll show you the stick later.

Cuadrados, Conductos

Conductos... channels of the leaf ¡I know it's a strange "C" drawing, but I really wanted to draw them. As I was feeling bad about it (Am I cheating? imagine if the Z arrives and I can't have my prize cause I cheated with the C) I also drew some Cuadrados (squares)

Don't you like learning spanish with Marga? :-)

Amapolas





As I'm drawing nothing lately, I decided to cheat myself. I started yesterday a drawing alphabet. If I'm able to finish by the end of june, I'll buy myself a nice something.

Self portraits

For lack of a convenient mirror, I'm using the webcam for these and I
quite like the process -- a more 'objective' method for observing
one's face?

Artefacts

Drawings based on museum Quai Branly brochure (polynesian artefacts)

Martin Kippenberger as a cowboy on the cover of Art Forum

Hello everybody,

a couple of points:

* I've discovered e-mail as a method of posting to the blog, which I
find more convenient. You have to activate the option in your profile,
and then you just compose an email as though it were a blog post and
send it off to the blogger address (which you also specify in your
profile). Or maybe you knew this already.

* Welcome to our blog Lorcan White and thanks for sharing. I'm writing
this in English for the benefit of the other participants (Marga).
Your energetic drawings make me want to drop everything and run to the
drawing table


* My scanner is broken so I'm using digital pictures doctored in
iPhoto (very quick), but they are o.k. I think, how about you?

* I'm starting a portrait project called The Paper Face. It's going
too slowly for my taste but I shall post my progress as I work. You
can have a look on http://the-paper-face.blogspot.com/

Pitt Artist pen experiments





Thanks to Heleen, I discovered Faber Castell's "Pitt Artist pen' and I am completely hooked. This pen was made for me. So here are some of my experiments. I also discovered a website where you can convert your handwriting into a font. (www.yourfonts.com). Very handy, esp for comics.

more cows... :-)



While drawing the cows, a horse came and after smelling my drawing decided to eat it. Should I asume I'm such a great draftswomam as to cheat a carnivorous horse? Or was he trying to tell me that my cows looked like carrots? ;-)
