Last Tuesday's life drawing

I am having trouble finding good light to photograph my drawings at the moment. It is so grey and dark here in Stockholm these days. I hope the cold weather comes back, at least then we get clear blue skies.
The first two drawing show that I continue to experiment with lost and found areas. I wish to achieve this in my watercolours as well.

Urban winter sketch

I sat in my car outside the local sailing club here in the suburbs of Stockholm. The boats are out of the water for the winter, red anchor buoys are the only evidence that summer exists.

Tuesday's life drawing

It was the first for 2016. I'm trying to be a bit more careful when I draw, I want to improve and the only way to do that is to get out of the comfort zone.
