HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!

My last sketch for 2018 & 1st sketch of 2019.
At 11pm, my family rushed to Jumeirah Beach area to watch 2019 fireworks, parked our car 3 blocks away from the site and away from predicted traffic after the celebration.

Bea my daughter led us to Fishermans Wharf to a coffee shop (Coffee & Storey) and stayed while having black tea and ice cream. Quickly grab my folded paper and start to sketch 'coz I have only 10 minutes to sketch the environment before the fireworks.

This sketch has two parts & methods of drawing.

The first part of the drawing is my family which is on the bottom right side of the frame. This was done while waiting for fireworks and the upper part was done after the fireworks. Method of sketching is Inking & watercolour.

I used Tombow & Uchida brush pen and schmincke watercolour on 300 gsm. folded water color paper.

RUNmadan Abu Dhabi

RUNmadan Epic 6
Abu Dhabi, UAE
08 June 2018

Our running group having annual run at Abu Dhabi during RUNmadan Challenge Epic 6.

This is an Annual Event during the holy month of Ramadan, and part of the event is to run and visit mosques in Abu Dhabi (capital city of United Arab Emirates). Here we stayed at Murjan Asfar Hotel for 1 night & visit the Abu Dhabi Grand Mosque on the next day.

During the stay at the hotel, we are gathered together for knowing each of us in front of beer & other liquor. But this time not only Filipinos but also Indian friends join us...this is memorable for the group.

Instead of taking a photo, I took my folded paper & start to draw this scene. I leave faces blank intentionally for them to put their own faces, but unfortunately...they are already drunk to this task.
