HELLO!
Recently I was working on the drawing. I treated it as a form of exercise. My main model was a photo showing one of the statues from the garden in the Royal Palace of Caserta in Italy. I'm not sure who was pictured in this sculpture (I suspect it might be allegory of something associated with wisdom, or a goddess). The picture I'm talking about You will find HERE.
So, I took a pencil, a brown paper, and started drawing.
Soon afterwards I was not only using pencil but also a white crayon.
HELLO!
Today I would like to present the new work from the series Wild Fantasy. This series consists of the black-and-white pictures with colourful accent, made with pens.
The ideas for these pictures come from doodles. You see, I like doodling so much, and sometimes I create something which starts living rent-free in my imagination. These doodles depict ladies in fancy outfits with colourful accent, accompanied by animals, and sometimes by plants (it depends from the background chosen for the picture). On the right sidebar of this blog there is a list "My Series", and here You may see the previous works of Wild Fantasy, if You are interested.
So, after this short introduction let's start a story about the Wild Fantasy's new work with brown accent.
ENJOY!
So, one day I draw quite a fascinating rigout - a white blouse with 3 ornamental strips, and a brown skirt with one ornamental strip in lower part.
HELLO!
In the very last post in this year I'm coming to You with quite mysterious drawing I've made.
It all started with an idea of a woman leaning on an owl (particularly the Eurasian eagle-owl was my main inspiration here).
So, I decided to achieve it but only with pencils.
Below there's the net result of my work.

HELLO!
Lately I wanted to practise drawing an architecture. This exercise would be helpful when I'll be doing a Cityscape (one of my 3 aims). So I was searching through various photographies on postcards, or in the books. And I found an inspiring one. It was a photo showing Curia Julia (Latin: Curia Iulia) in the Roman Forum which comes from the book about past and present Rome (the polish edition of R. A. Staccioli's book).

HELLO!
Recently I made a monochromatic nude of an imaginary female character.

| monochrome nude, pencil and black crayon on paper, 14,8 x 21 cm. |
I drew a young lady with the only accessory which is a shawl with a floral pattern.
I put a paper on a box with an interesting, circular pattern. Then I started rubbing the paper with a black crayon. That's how the background was made.
That's all.
What is your opinion about monochrome nude?
Tell me in comments below.
Have a Nice Day!
HELLO!
Today I would like to show a new work which is a part of series Wild Fantasy. In the previous years I made pieces like Green dress, fantasia amalfitana and there is a fire in my heart. They are the black-and-white pictures with a colourful accent, made with pens, showing ladies in coloured clothing with animals as companions.
The main inspiration for each of those works was a doodle.
This kind of design was giving me no peace. I felt strong urge to draw a lady clothed in a stripped dress with horizontal strips. I've envisioned this dress in violet and black colours.
HELLO!
Recently I drew a deer. What inspired me to do this was a story of my cousin who saw this majestic animal in the forest.
A backup for me was a photography found on Shutterstock.
Below you can look at net result.

HELLO!
Recently I felt a desire to create something on the spur of the moment.
So I sketched a naked woman who's holding the light in her hands.
I haven't got any specific idea concerning a portrayed lady.

HELLO!
Today I would like to show You a drawing of a very lovely creature. I mean squirrel.
It's so cool to see squirrel during the stroll.
The basis for my drawing was a photography which I found in old card.
 |
| This card is from some binder with cards concerning various animals. It was some sort of collection cards. |
I took brown paper and pencil, and started drawing.
HELLO!
A story of today's work started with an inconspicuous doodle.
 |
| Probably it was doodled in 2019. |
I couldn't forget about a lady with a blue bun because of her monochromatic blouse. It may sound immodestly but I liked design of this blouse, and thought it would be a mistake to not draw it again.
For a long time I was wondering how should I portray a lady wearing geometric blouse.
There were ideas to show her in some abstract dimension or in a mysterious interior in which she leans against a harp. I rejected them when I noticed a photo showing Duomo di Amalfi. Cathedral drew my attention with its marvellous deep porch.
Window of mentioned deep porch inspired me to such an extent that it became a background in my picture.
HELLO!
One day I doodled a green dress with a patterned bottom. This inspired me to create a picture showing a woman in this dress.

During drawing the first sketch I was having a doubt about the length of a dress and a hairstyle. I considered a maxi dress but changed my mind quite quickly. The only change I made with her hair was turning them into more wavy.
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.

Hello!
Today's drawing shows a lady who's enjoying her free time as much as she can. She's surrounded by plants, sitting under the tree and playing with her fluffy cat. Girl is also reading a thought-provoking novel.
Oh, and on her hoodie you'll find a reference to Sailor Moon's opening theme... Dunno why but I find this lady strangely similar to Sailor Mercury...

Hello!
Lately my interest in japanese culture increased much more than ever. A portrait which I'll present in today's post is an evidence of this. Well, just look at this smoking lady.

Hello! ❄
After my long absence I'm leaving here a work with a snowy theme. Well, it's so hot nowadays so it wouldn't hurt to show you a drawing of an arctic fox which is curiously gazing at Galanthus Nivalis (yup, I drew "the trailers of the Spring" again).
