At the end of 2020 a female guitarist is playing something calm

 Hello! 🎸


     In the last post in this year there will be one of my aims - a female guitarist. I haven't got a clue at the beginning how should I portray her... Finally playing on the guitar make me aware which pose looks the best (and drawing a guitar was kinda problematic). 


A Guitarist, pencil and oil pastels on a paper, 14,8 x 21 cm.




     During creative process I decided to experiment a bit. I used a pencil for a young guitarist sitting on a wall and oil pastels for background. I thought about the fourth story from anime Mononoke (2007) where the grey world became lively thanks to smelling various scents.


So... That's all.


As a new aim I chose... a portrayal of a Samurai

(because this year's One Piece was really awesome, entertaining and inspiring... For me it was one of those rare things that made 2020 quite tolerable)

the Poetic Graphics: the Broken Reverie

 Hello!


In today's entry you'll find another part of a cycle the Poetic Graphics. This poem (which original version is available THERE) was an impression of a certain event I've witnessed on a graveyard last year. I called this to mind only thanks to my notes.

Relax with a Violet Crayon

 Hello! 


     In today's post you'll see a spontaneous drawing. From time to time I like to make some doodles because it's relaxing. To be honest I do not know if I've got a notebook which wasn't ornamented with drawings of various ladies, animals (mainly cats), flowers, ornaments, etc. Some of them happened to inspire me to create something bigger (as examples I can point at a pastel the Expectation of Shooting stars or drawing Wisp of Galadriel's hair). Yup, before them were little sketches made on margins or notebooks' covers

     And yesterday I was trying to relax after baking gingerbread cookies. And during my efforts I took a paper, violet crayon and started drawing this lady.


reaching for..., crayons (violet & pink) on paper, 14,8 x 21 cm, 21 XII 2020.

 

    
      I haven't got any special plans for this drawing... I felt pretty concerned during drawing. At some point I've decided to add a pink colour.

     As a title I chose reaching for... because the Violet Lady is reaching for something... What is it exactly? A dream? A guitar? A pencil? A pen? An amazing book? Another human's hand? A cookie cutter? Well, I don't know - let this be a kind of a wiggle room.

For now, let me 
wish You All, my dear Readers
lots of Health, Love, Strength,
and Peaceful and Joyful Christmastime
against all odds!

 Have a Nice Day! 🎄

4 in 4: In the apple orchard

 Hello!


     In today's post there is a fifth comic strip of a cycle "the Four Seasons in Four Frames"


This time story will be focused on Autumn who went apple picking with her fluffy companion. Cat's name is Wrzos (that's a polish name for heather).


     As always I was wondering what should I draw, in which situation should I throw Autumn... And - what seems pretty funny, each of ideas has got an apple theme.

     Below In the apple orchard you will find an english translation of bubbles.




Second Frame

Autumn: Wow! Wrzos, just take a look at those beautiful apples!
