My son and I browsed through our personal pictures and selected a reference picture for a landscape aquarelle.
He selected an archway of Mysore palace in Karnataka - India.
I selected the Lindenkirche Georgenberg in Tyrol - Austria.

Last evening I´ve created a portrait of Master Yoda with pencils (HB, 2B, 6B) and a white chalk pencil on Strathmore 400 toned paper.
Actually I´m quite pleased with the result and it was a lot of fun to do a pencil drawing again. :)
It shows Master Yoda during the Clone Wars.
My son and I are currently watching the "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" show and really enjoy it (almost finished as we are in season 6 now). :cheer2:

Still trying to learn to draw what I see, with indifferent success. There's a reason I don't post here very often. But I'm enjoying myself, and when I compare some of my earlier attempts, have made a little progress. I mentioned in the "written in fountain pen" thread that I was trying to psych myself up to try this, and here's what happened.
Er, the date should actually be 1/22/20. :rolleyes::rolleyes:I'll correct it in my sketchbook, but I'm not taking another photo.

This week my whole family was sick, we got the real flu. :(
After the first days with very high fever we watched the Lion King and I sketched a bit on the couch (was not easy to focus on drawing).
Anyway we are still feeling very weak but it´s getting a bit better every day.

I've just bought The Lion King 2019 in 4K and have being humming and learning all of the words to The Circle of Life ever since. :)
Amazingly I had never seen the original film. :(
Thanks Chrissy, you should watch also the original film some time (the second and third part are imo not so good, you can skip those).
Reminds me that I have to watch the new one :)
