Sometimes you need a new sketchbook. The third one this year, already. As I was looking what I've made so far, I came across a sketch I made several months ago. I made this whole scene up. I was curious if I could place some things of personal interests in one drawing. The Citroen DS, a cyclist, a paraglider, all in a typical French countryside setting. Maybe the Alps or Provence, I don't know. I think that the atmosphere of the whole drawing is in this case of more importance than if it's actually an existing location.
Maybe I find in the near future time to work this theme out. I think it has potential. (But without the weed on the second floor of the building)
The Citroen 2CV was designed to ride across the French countryside. One of its goals was to enable the paysants to transport their fresh eggs to the market without breaking them during the ride on rigid trails. Not many modern cars can copy that nowadays!
Just a loose drawing I made today from a photograph. Sometimes you still can spot them in the French countryside: old barns with old cars in them. Somehow the Citroen 2CV still appeals to me as a car made to be drawn. Unless cars made nowadays, which mostly all look the same. So I couldn't resist drawing this car and barn when I came across this picture. I believe it was on Flickr.com (great site btw), but I'm not sure.
