3 Drawings In 5 Hours

I felt a sudden and tremendous burst of energy. I will be in for some long hours the next three days at work with our store's inventory starting tomorrow at 6:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm.

I was actually working on a fourth, but my drawing table is on the patio and the bugs were out in full force!
I had to give up, another day perhaps.

I started drawing at three and ended at eight.  It was a lot of fun!

p.s.
I did post all three drawings below this post. My version of Da Vinci. Manga, and Horton hears a Who.
I hope you like them.

Scary Driftwood Hand At Dusk

Sometimes I get caught up in a photo or drawing that has too much darkness and not enough detail for me to see clearly enough to draw. This might be one of those times. A work on progress. Someday I will look back at some of my drawings and realize these were the building blocks along the way.

Swan In Charcoal

Thanks to my Greek friend Fany at  Φανή Παπαγεωργίου, Ζωγράφος for her encouragement. She asked me to try a swan drawing and gave me a step by step in how to do it.

I took a picture of my drawing with and without flash. I was unsure with the black paper and mostly charcoal which would look better. I will let you be the judge.

Thanks and kisses Fany!

It was fun!
