Maybe we could do the collection tomorrow, and you do the bike drawing?
Love the sketch too.

Just googled this, blown my mind.

Ok.
Todays drawing: A bike part/detail.
If I cant ride it as much at least I can draw it.
I will post mine this evening.

Any ideas for today?
I have a few;
A group/collection/pile of things
Plant
And because we are on LFGSS, A bike part/detail

Boot. Drew over the messed up lines. Ran out of time, but was going to give it a wash and a left boot.

Effort number 2 for tattoo challenge

It's tough to show the little scar.

Hands, 10 min and a tiny bit.

dual post

yeah, i like the sculpture and re read Frankenstein earlier today

Also might have taken longer than 10 minutes

Attempt at the tattoo thing. It's hard, not knowing the culture and I just went with something a bit bleak. Might give it another stab tomorrow, after I've looked at more images on the web. I had no idea how deep the art goes in tattoo world.

Owls.
9 min 45 sec.... Could have continued but I'm enjoying being strict.

Ok cool. A challenge for sure.

I don't know what that is?
I googled it and got loads of photos of pen and ink drawings...

Thanks, I was actually fairly pleased with the progress as it has felt like it was really minimal effort. Very little change to my life but a definite improvement on the scales. Ill start looking in to the body weight stuff, I have started a short run twice a week for the work from home.

Usually what happens is it comes around to spring and I spend more time on my bike, making trips etc, looks unlikely for that to happen this year. But fingers crossed for when this lets up a little.

Posted up thread at 94kg.

With a small diet change, and intermittent fasting the weight has been gradually dropping. I weigh myself every day and have stabilised around 88.5-89.5. Covid has curtailed my exercise, so I assume I shall have to reduce my eating a bit.

Still need to lose another 3kg to return to a level I was happy with. Could really do with dropping more as I have less muscle than I used to.

A bit late for the comment, but missed this when you posted.
I think with some bright colours this would be really good, it has a graphic quality I like.

Your drawing is more delicate but Opie, the artist who did the blur portrait, does great colours.

Wow, lovely.
Who knew the forum's ace at rat drawing .

Wonderful

Rats. Or rat.
I can't rotate the image, but the blighter is supposed to be hanging upside down.

Its what I would like my Olympus to do. Im getting nice warm colours in all the manual modes, but as soon as it goes into auto the white balance comes out rubbish. Ill have to experiment.

Anyway, its a really lovely photograph.

What did you shoot this on? Wonderful painterly colours in the 3rd

Ive retreated into comfort reading, things that completely take me out of the present, or are familiar enough be old friends. I have a few on the go...

Started re-reading all The Watch books from Disc World. They get better with age, I am now aware of more of the reference jokes that I missed when I was younger.

War and Peace is also out on the bed side table, a few pages a night is a lovely way to relax the brain.

Reading Player of Games an Ian M Banks, which is incredibly immersive. I only surface from it when I'm hungry, cant be reading it in bed or id never go to sleep.

Not to stick my oar in, but....

I cant recommend One Hundred years of solitude enough, one of my favourite books. Also American Pastoral is great.

Never had any time for Thomas Hardy, its all a bit meh to me. If you are in the right mood Wuthering Heights is actually a bit of a blast, you can scream through it in no time. Maybe with Kate Bush in the background...
