Uninspired

I've been struggling this week. I have an idea for Monday Artday's theme , but as yet have not done anything other than a couple of pencil lines. Whereas,  on Illustration Friday  last week's theme was pattern, which didn't do anything for me, nor this week's which is germs. I have 3 days to do a germ pic, and no ideas ho hum.

This weekend, I did one very quick sketch in Darcy's restaurant (MQ), whilst waiting for a friend to join me for lunch. Initially I sat down with a good view of a group of Omanis, got settled with a drink and... they left. So, I did this quick sketch of the waiter.

To end on a positive note, I started this blog a month ago and I have done far more drawings than I expected. I have even done a few paintings, so maybe whilst I haven't felt inspired these last few days, I'm doing ok.

Monday Artday: Sailor

The theme set yesterday by Monday Artday was Sailor. This is a watercolour of Khamis I did this morning. He is a student at the International Maritime College Oman. If he is successful in his studies, he will go to sea in 3 years time. However, despite his serious expression he does not study much preferring to joke around in class.

Monday Artday's "cute object "challenge

This quick sketch is the result of my insomnia last night combined with the desire to post something to Monday Artday. It was done before work this morning in pen and watercolour. It is not a finished drawing, just a sketch, of my cute Chilean souvenir.
