Daily sketch practice _2
Using a black pen ✒️ , here is a quick daily sketch. Today, I draw “Northern bald ibis” bird.
About the Northern Bald ibis, hermit ibis, or Waldrapp (Geronticus eremita) is a migratory Old World ibis found in open areas such as grasslands, rocky mountains, and semi-deserts, often close to running water. This 70–80 cm (28–31 in) glossy black ibis, which, unlike many members of the ibis family, is non-wading, has an unfeathered red face and head, and a long, curved red bill. It breeds colonially on coastal or mountain cliff ledges, where it typically lays two to three eggs in a stick nest, and feeds on lizards, insects, and other small animals.
13 days Sketching in London 2024
I visited London in December 2024 with my family and kids. We have been there for two weeks [13 days]. I used to wake up on 5 A.M (or so), moving to the living room in the apartment with a book to read and my minimalist art bag.
My Art Bag:
A small (7in x 4.5in x 2.5in) bag, the bag is for mobile and passport, but I use it for my art. It contains:
– Sketchbook.
– Water colour metal palette with 3 brush.
– And black Pens : 0.05m, 0.3m, 0.8, and white gel pen, and mechanical pencil.
The bag/case is a mobile/Passport travel case, I use it for my art.
Metal colour palette, it comes with 14 colors, but I add the middle raw and divide the head to small squares so I can mix more colours.
Here are 13 sketches that I drew in London, all were under low-lights sitting on the couch 🛋 having my morning coffee ☕️.
More sketches in the blog.
