I was lucky with the tractor. There was a man sitting inside, but he was on a break, so the tractor stood still while I was drawing it

The chrysanthemum blooming season is coming soon💐

I had a little more time today, and was happy to devote it to what I see. However, while I was drawing, I froze in the shade🥶

It's like I haven't drawn for a hundred years on the way to the store - and it turns out that 2.5 weeks have passed. A very busy summer!

Drew these mushrooms a month and a half ago, and today I'll show them here. I liked the way the edges of this paper are decorated - as if even a frame is not required.

While talking on the phone, I happened to have some bananas at hand🙌

Tried to draw ramen, plus with a set of pencils with a strange palette - I had to rack my brains a bit🤭

Enjoyed half an hour in the sun 😎 Did I mention 27 is my favourite number?

The rains don't let me draw outside. I draw at home

The exam is over, and now I have more time for drawing. It’s unbelievable, the last time I was drawing with these pencils was three years ago. The more pleasant it is to remember how good they are.

Went out to the shop and ended up in Antalya🥰 It's 34 degrees in Moscow today, which I happily celebrated with pencils on a bench. In the process, a pencil broke and it turned out that the sharpener was left at home. I finished as best I could with a blunt pencil and left with a sense of accomplishment😁

While western Europe is sweltering in the heat, I'm in Moscow sleeping under a warm blanket and running out for short walks between the rains. Today we were finally shown some sunshine and even got 19°С. It's been a long time since we've had such a cold and grey summer.

A very small drawing to try out the paper in the new sketchbook. Some time ago I already had a sketchbook of this brand with white paper, as it turned out, offset paper. It was well made, but I don't like to draw on offset paper, especially with coloured pencils, however that sketchbook was filled and took its place on the shelf. And now I decided to give the ivory paper option a chance. And it's a very different feeling👌

Drawing raspberries is a bit of a challenge - all those bulges. But it was even more difficult to photograph the pink drawing on cold white paper. I got tired of levelling out the white balance. And then it turned out that I should have just waited for the light from the window to get a little warmer🤷🏻‍♀️

There is a building near the metro station with a very strange architecture. There wasn't much time to draw it, but I refined some details at home.
