Post 501-- An old ink drawing from 2008

Post 501-- An old ink drawing from 2008, a photo by dibujandoarte on Flickr.

today i found this drawing i did as an exercice for art school back in 2008 and thought i had uploaded it, but no, i had not.

i guess i was much more selective back then... so maybe i 'll start seaching for some old stuff that never pusblished. who knows?

anyway, i just saw in my blogger account that my last entry yesterday the 500th.! I started it back in march 2007 and has been a fun thing to do, even though there were times i didn't have anytime or anything to upload. 
You can have a quicker glance at most (not all) of the images in only one screen here http://dibujandoarte.blogspot.com/.

Self portrait

Self portrait, a photo by dibujandoarte on Flickr.

A draft made with an old & worn out marker, over a cardboard on which I had
pasted some pieces of newspaper. Later I applied temperas with a piece of
wood like a painter's knife. I chose cyan yellow and magenta, but only the
first is pure. Also used some white tempera. I added charcoal lines at the
end.

little more of what could be called "surreal"?

​i really don't know what these could be, but i'm sure it's not even close
to surreal. these are just images, that are constructed at the same time of
drawing, while seeing the composition and adding things that are being said
on a song while drawing, or a passer-by. nothing to do with dreams at all​.

Oil study

Oil study, a photo by dibujandoarte on Flickr.

Study of lights & shadows +Colours and compostion. I'm trying to see which
colours as a basis are better for the skin. I usually use just the 3
primary (CMY) + white. A little black to make different values of grey and
nothing else. In this case didn't use magenta but crimson, and ulttamarine
instead of cyan.

flowers in the beginning

flowers in the beginning, a photo by dibujandoarte on Flickr.

     "[...] When i found that loose floor tile at the foot of my bed i saw some light coming out and obviously caught my attention.

     I removed it together with the others touching it and found the stairs going down. Suddenly, I could hardly believe my eyes when I found myself standing under my own house.

Had i travelled back through time? I was at the same place but just before nothing was built. No houses, no people...

     I can only see a strong daylight that almost hurt my eyes standing frozen under the shadow of the house; there's just a lot of high grass all around and the flowers growing wild. I hear only silence, if silence can be heard. Lots of it. Not even the soft wind makes a noise or the plants moving with it. Been there more than once as far as I can remember. It's just nature growing fast, wild and free. [...]"
