junglejim, thanks a lot for your kind words, I´m sure my son will also like it when I will tell him.
Such feedback is alway highly appreciated and motivates to keep sharing.
Today I have some ink fishes made with India Ink, water and brushes.

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).

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. I'll correct it in my sketchbook, but I'm not taking another photo.

I´ve also used my new pearlescent colours, the shimmering effect is not seen when taking a straight photo, I´ve taken also a second one to show the effect.

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
