#drawvember 2016 days 21-30

These ten drawings conclude #drawvember. Each took me more or less time, depending on how long I could take, or the sort of drawing I was keen on making. I can’t make time to draw everyday in December so I’ll take a break after an enjoyable two-month sprint. 


Day 21: Three Musketeers. As seen in the Air France inflight magazine, an ad for a show, I believe. Turquoise, yellow and crimson thick watercolour applied with a drawing pen.

Day 22: Caracasablanca. As seen again in an ad in the Air France inflight magazine. Toucan overlooking rainforest and desert dunes which five camels climb. Watercolour.

Day 30: Nude woman reclining, seen from the back. After Van Gogh. I had precious little time for the last day. A quick pencil sketch on a small surface of the art book and I then used a black Uni pin pen (0.1 mm). Black ink drawing of a nude woman reclining, seen from the back. After Van Gogh
