walking towards an adventure

 HELLO!

Almost a year ago elapsed since I showed a new work from the series Wild Fantasy. In this series You will find the black-and-white pictures with colourful accent, made with pens. 

As usual the ideas for these pictures come from doodles showing ladies in fancy outfits with colourful accent. I draw them with animal companions, and sometimes with specific plants (this one depends on the chosen background). If You want to check out my previous works from Wild Fantasy, I'd like to recommend You a list called "My Series" which is one the right sidebar of this blog.

So, today I would like to tell You a story behind a new work, belonging to Wild Fantasy's series, with an orange accent.

ENJOY!

Above there is one of the doodles showing a lady wearing an interesting outfit. The design may connote a folk costume. I wasn't having a particular folk costume in my mind when I was drawing it.

another pencil sketch - this time with a stretching person

 HELLO!

Before the next black-and-white work with colourful accent will appear on this blog, I'd like to show You another sketch I've made lately.

a stretching person, a pencil on a paper, 14,5 x 19,5 cm.

There was no particular idea behind this sketch. I started sketching human silhouette, and went with drawing a person who is stretching. 

Apparently, the thing is happening just after she woke up. A duvet on the bed is all swirled, and a cat is sleeping there (obviously).

That's all.

Let me know what do You think about a stretching person.

Have a Nice Day! 🐾

sketch of the forest road

 HELLO!

When I was twiddling a pencil in my hand and staring at a blank paper, a memory of a photo once taken in the forest came to me. To cut a story short, I started sketching. 

Here's the net result of my drawing.

Below there is a photo which was sort of an inspiration for the forest road. When I was sketching I haven't got this photo close at hand. Nevertheless, I kept drawing. And as I kept drawing I kept thinking how much the sky, eternalised on the photo, resembled a river. 

drawing of the eurasian hoopoe

 HELLO!

So, a few months ago I saw the Eurasian hoopoe (Upupa epops) for the very first time in my life. It was a brief moment during which I noticed how lovely this bird is. It was sitting on the fence, and was folding his distinctive crest like a fan. Quite recently, this memory came back to me, and inspired me to draw this cute orange bird.

As a reference for my drawing I used a photo from "pixabay.com" - here's LINK to mentioned photo.

In order to create this picture I used only watercolour crayons. I consider it as an excellent exercise.

That's all.

Let me know in the comments what do You think about my drawing.

Have a Nice Day! 🐦

Immersed in Reading

 HELLO!

Recently, a certain photo of a cat inspired me to such an extent that I decided to draw it. This particular photo was a part of an old calendar (from 2009 but to my astonishment, I noticed the days are in alignment with the days of 2026 - quite cool). A cat from the photo is sitting on a pile of books, and is surrounded by more books. If a librarian or a bookseller were a cat, they would be that cat.

When I was thinking about drawing this cat, I came up with an idea to sort of extend my picture.

Mentioned photo is visible on the left side. Lovely cat, isn't it?
On the right side there is my pencil draft of a cat among the books.

Yes, my vision for this picture is kind of an extension of this photo. It's like asking a question - but what might be happening beyond the borders of this photo? And my answer was there is a lady reading a book so intensely she becomes the one with the floor. Literally. And that floor behaves like water - it's waving, and there's a splash because one book plunges into its depths. 

It sounds quite surrealistically, isn't it?
