EDM 18 - View from My Window

The View from My Window
Mixed Media

When I sit in my corner of the sofa, I am close to the patio-doors in our living room. We don't have windows in our apartment, but rather two patio doors, one in the bedroom, and one in the living room. We are on the 10th floor of our apartment building and face the street.

What you see here is my view from my sofa corner. I pulled the curtain back a bit so I could look outside. That is my brown curtain on the right. At the top you see the roof our our balcony (or the bottom of the upstairs balcony). Then you see cloudy sky. The two black areas is my veranda (railing). You can see the tops of buildings between the top and bottom sections of the veranda (railing). At the bottom you see a bit of street and some tree tops between the bottom of the veranda and the floor of my balcony.

I used ink, watercolour, and Derwent Inktense pencils, both wet and dry.

Side-View Mirror

Watercolour, Ink, and Inktense pencils

This view is from the passenger-side side-view mirror. I was on an errand with Alexander (he was driving) and I looked in the mirror and loved the way the clouds were being reflected on the windows and side of the vehicle.

I took half a dozen photos with my iPhone to remember the moment. None were perfect so I used several different ones, plus my memory, to come up with this image.

Perhaps some day I will recreate this in a large painting.

642 Things to Draw #35 - Head in the Clouds

Head in the Clouds
Pen and Ink with Digital Colour

This cartoon was so boring without colour so I added some digitally. The colour helps to illustrate the "head in the clouds" theme better.

When someone is said to have their head in the clouds it means that they are out of touch with the real world. They may be flighty, frivolous, scatterbrained, or just daydreamers. They are considered unrealistic or naive as a result of having their  head in the clouds. These people are often guided by whim and fancy.

Every Day in May Challenge # 27

Draw some clouds

Watercolour, Coloured Pencil, Ink

It was a raining all morning but now it is cloudy out.

I had a heck of a time scanning this. The colours would not come through properly. This is as close as I can to the actual drawing.
