Dear Diary :): syazlin's mini art gallery two

Back to my drawing. Man, been having the urge to draw for quite sometime, hopefully my inspiration doesn't run dry.

Currently, I'm more keen on drawing with soft pastela which has its pros and cons.

Pros is that its a wonderful medium to get your hands dirty , the texture is so soft and easy to flow and direct compared to oil pastel and brushed.
Cons, is that I have an itchy nose, heck my whole face is itchy, so I end up with black blotches under my eyes and I have blue and red blotches on my nose. Very unappealing if your going out on a date. Worst is that I have a tendency to fall asleep so you could say Bonzo the clown is much more prettier than me when I wake up :)

My friend went to Sydney this year and took a photo of this scene . It was really captivating that I had to draw it. You have this itchy feeling when you want to draw something and no matter how hard the picture is you just won't give up until you finish it. I'm basically an insecure person at times and when I write I just simply give up when I find that its not going anywhere but with drawing , it seems my hands have a life of its own .

Your just like looking at the picture and like .....

"Should I finish you , nah its hopeless , should I ....shouldn't I " and you end up with "What the heck!" focusing for an hour or two to complete it.

The reference of this drawing was a photo I took quite some time ago when I visted my nephews and niece. We went for a roadtrip and passby Wales. Had a nice lunch there and saw this pretty scenery :)

I was doodling in the morning. Inspired by what Tom Hiddleston said in Nerd Hq sometimes you have to get early than the rest and look around. (or something like that)
