A bit of reality a bit of imagination!

So I have been drawing / sketching people off an on for quite sometime now!! And I always wonder what they are thinking about? Sometimes I create my own stories about them. The sketch below was done while I was waiting at a local restaurant for some friends. What fascinated me was her hat. It was quite warm inside but she was totally immersed in her coffee and had not taken off her coat nor her hat. I wondered what she was thinking of and so after a quick sketch of her I just decided to draw a city scape in pencil behind her as if her thoughts. The two mediums worked out great to show the now and the dream~world.  The city scape is purely from my imagination. I like this new style of portraying my drawing. I think this is going to be the first of many more to come in this style as a series.

  1. I agree, the two media work well together. Love the lines in your work.

    1. Thank you for visiting my blog. Yes I am enjoying merging graphite into my ink drawings instead of an under drawing ! I think I will be making a series of this style.

  2. Hi Fahmi!
    Just discovered you on Facebook (Artist's Journal Workshop and your own page) and have commented on your delightful drawings. I think a series like this could become a book--one that might inspire people to see beyond to the transcendental. Thanks for showing us how great imagination can be!
