So, last night we had a couple of visitors to our little bungalow! The first one was a cat which hurled itself at our window in pursuit of a huge bug which it then proceeded to chew up on the veranda! The second was a scrawny little dog with no fur who made some pitiful noises outside our door and ran away when we turned the light on. He’s around during the day too, we feel very sorry for the poor little guy!
Today we rented a moped and went on a little outing…

Out and about on a moped. |
I had a go at riding it too! Driving it was fine, avoiding all the potholes was more difficult!

Nice helmet |
This is where we got stuck in the sand, ideal photo opportunity!

We had no idea there was such beautiful scenery just 10 minutes ride from where we’re staying.

Rice paddies, Batu Karas |
This bamboo bridge is the only access to Cijulan, the nearest town which has shops and banks. Sam was afraid we’d end up in the river if we both went over on the bike together, so I had to walk.

This afternoon I decided to have another bash at 3D drawing. Then I got a bit carried away and drew a couple more!

Marble pencil drawing |
And here’s my 3D drawing, You can see that the sketchbook is at an angle but the marble still appears round. There’s a real marble there too for comparison.
I also finished the cup drawing I started. You may notice that the page is a bit dirty, that would be coffee from the spoon I used as a prop in the photos. Told you I got a little carried away! It looks elongated here, but viewed from the end it looks 3D.

Your little doggie friend probably puts on this act for everyone who stays in the bungalow 🙂 Love the drawings. The marble looks beautifully drawn but very difficult to see the 3d effect in the photos. The hole and the mug shots are very realistic though – I love the way you used the props 🙂 Hope you’ve taken some photos inside your little bungalow
That is awesome. I’m going to show this to my littlest guy – he loves to draw and is ready for dimension:)
