(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.

study of lights in Caravaggio's The calling of Saint Matthew

i started this as a quick skecth, but ended up making a study of composition lights and shadows from a book about Caravaggio . I kept on adding roght details for about 1 hour then. In a way I felt attracted to try a new pencil* I had bought last week on this A4 sized sketchbook I did with brown paper.

* lumocolor permanent by Staedtler (waterproof)

EDM challenges # 123 - 37 - 132

this bell is a brass keyring I bought when I was 12 going on 13, so I take it with me everywhere eversince. i've had it for over 23. i can't go anywhere if i don't have it. i'd say it's more important to have my bell than the keys, hahaha. anyway i love to collect keyrings, i don't know how many i have or how many i've lost too...
