press LONGER pause, then paint

Mrs. Bradley's Mysteries. a wonderful BBC 5 episodes series starring Diana Rigg. from these 5 episodes, "Death at the Opera" is my favourite. this time the pauses were longer, almost 30 minutes each.

press pause then draw!

pressing pause on a video has been a task i started many years ago. i had a VCR which after 5 minutes continued playing so i had to hurry before the scene changed it was quite difficult to make a pause on the exact scene, for example a dancing figure. luckily now the DVD gives more time.
a pencil sketch then digital process with paint shop pro, resizing, adding different colours on the low & mid tones

EDM # 56= draw a selfportrait

i drew a selfportrait in sanguine pastel. i also drew some eyes separately in different mediums. i chose left in sepia pastel, and right in WC pencils. made digital collage with them on the original image, then added all the dots, then erased circled parts too leaving the original image to be seen in some parts, then framed it in black. i know i may ruin the drawing but i like to play with digital effects even though the results cannot be good, i took more than 2 hours erasing adding different shapes, looking for a composition i liked till i got this one... if you want to say it's worst thing you've ever seen, just say it, you're surely right!

EDM # 136 - part II- draw something that's alive

i made this last night. when i closed the window the dragonfly appeared to the light then i thought of catching it into a glass then draw it. a few minutes later came the beetle. caught it, but they both couldn't be in the same glass so had to separate them. drew one then the other and freed them into the night again, almost coming to light of day, about 5 a.m.

a try with watermak

(it's also from last summer's set photos in La Lucila del Mar).

EDM challenge # 62 - part II

this is also to complete challenge # 62, collage is a medium i have almost never used, though i found it quite interesting. this is just a made up figure with bits of paper from a restaurant leaflet i was given in the street. i first added glue to the sketchbook page then some watercolour on top, then started hand-cutting the pieces and sticking. i added some contour with sepia ink and a fine brush then at the end i drew the side, numbers, etc.
