In Which we have the Opening of November! Christmas 2025, the one of uncharted territory

Good morning, my friend, dear reader of the present post! I of course wish you a happy Saturday, as November arrives also. I can also say happy belated Halloween! I wish I could have written something for the ocasion, but I was busy for the most of yesterday. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I was at the glorious mall, that happy place that I don't see it often enough. The occasion was to fix my phone by replacing its battery. This device, the iPhone 11, was purchased in February 2022, so it is close to its 4 years of existence in my hands. Everything still works as intended, except for what does the biggest traction, which is the battery. As such, it had already lost most of its working capacity, and was not doing its things appropriately. There goes I, then, to replace it. Though I do appreciate the shopping halls, I must take care as I am on a budget, in any case, I would be lying if I said it wasn't a bit of a gross misadventure, for the most part. I went there when the...

Sketch of the Week! The Art Noveau small city!

Hello to you!! Good morning and happy Wednesday!! How are you today and how are things going? As usual, I wish you the best and hope you are having a nice morning! I woke up recently and decided to just jump in and do today's post, before class! My position is comfortable, I'm still on my pajamas (thank Goodness! I love pajamas) and the electric fans are here working, which is wonderful! Not sure how the weather will be like today, will I be able to wear my sweater again? Hard to say yet, I hope so though! There were dashund fighting in my feet for my attention! Luckily they got tired and are sleeping now, puppies can be annoying, you know, though they are so cute! I really have to draw more, specially draw more buildings and landscapes! I've been doing more faces recently, as they're easier and faster to do, but every face needs a personality, a soul, it is not easy to come with this, with landscapes and buildings is easier, though they're harder to do, demand more time and patience. I have my sheets and pencils here but I won't be able to draw at the moment... maybe tonight, but probably not so... Anyways, here we go to our sketch of the week! Let's check it!


This one is the sketch of my recent history that demanded more time to do! A whole week if I'm not mistaken! Too many details in it! We started with the trees in the wind, then with the more stable trees, then with the building, and finally with the background, having trees and distant edifications! I wish I could be more inventive in the painting of the nature details, but I think the pallete works overall! Here we have an art noveau set of buildings, going up to touch the sky! Carefully crafted and with many details, those buildings have a dramatic and appealing nature that people tend to look up to, as many buildings of the time did, they definitely have a soul of its own, something that would be fight against by Modernism in the 20th century, a building do not have to have a soul, they say, but it needs to serve humanity alone, and some go to the point of abolishing any kind of decoration in it. It's hard to say what they had in mind with serving humanity, but the fact is those art noveau buildings stand in nature, merging even with it, the pink goes with the green, and so on the landscape becomes one.

And I think with those remarks we finish today's post! Just a small description of the building we have here. Thank you so much for being here, dear reader, you are the very best and I'm very grateful for your presence! I'm so happy to be here writing! And now I must think what will be the tune of the week!! Until the next post! Have a wonderful day!
