I'm doing an opera drawing each day (MET free daily stream during Covid19 closure). Here's a pencil drawing from yesterday-: Das Rheingold (Wagner's Ring). This is the dwarf Mime in the LaPage production.

    What a great idea. I'm looking forward to seeing more of this series. I like your bold, energetic lines. What kind of pencils did you use?

    I used two vintage pencils from my collection: a vintage Wolff's Royal Sovereign 2B and a Faber Castell Columbus Bleistif H pencil on Canson sketch paper. Thanks! I have some of my other Met Covid 19 streaming drawings here: https://www.pinterest.com/EdgewoodGarden/ilgas-drawings/people/ For the first week of our social distancing, I drew mother's and children...then switched to the opera!

After struggling with horse anatomy from photos, I finally decided to search for white horses, figuring that I would be able to see details more easily than on darker photos. It worked out well, the details were much more discernible.

This started as a pen line drawing (with Skura Pigma micron pen) which I then painted with Dr PH Martin's Hydrus watercolors. They are fun and very bright. This is on Strathmore 300 11x17 Bristol paper.

I was looking at what Pixabay might offer as inspiration, and found this fish. Perfect for a ballpoint pen drawing. The incompleted drawing in the second photo was taken before the final "glaze" of little scribbles of turquoise pen across almost the whole surface. It was a happy accident that made for a shimmery, iridescent fishy quality.
