Ah yes that explain.
Unfortunately I can't remember much of what I read or watch. Which is super annoying. I only remember if vaguely liked it or not something. Except if it is recent enough, I remember if liking it or not. Or I saw/read it several time because I loved it so much.

Friend of Jimbo \o/
Amazing!

The disco Elysium one is amazing. Have you done Kim Katsuragi? My favourite NPC of all time!

Sketch of the moon | Capybara Monster | Today's prompt of Sketch a Day is moonlight. As I love stargazing, it was an easy one for me to find what to sketch, and I drew the moon!

Yesterday's sketch prompt was Moonlight so I drew the moon! I used to stargaze and still have a telescope.

I used to be a drummer, so any instruments more transportable than a drum (which is not hard to find) is a bonus for me :D

I tried once a saxophone as I had an opportunity from a friend, I loved it. Very fun to play. And probably easier to transport and assemble than a contra bassoon :D

I love the bassoon and probably more the contrabassoon or contraforte. I have the same problem, would love to learn but the instrument is so expensive.

Portrait sketching of Benjamin Zephaniah | Capybara Monster | I sketched Benjamin Zephaniah's portrait while following the instruction of Adebanji Alade in The Addictive Sketcher Movement hub.

Following the sketching instruction (in a video) from Adebanji at The Addictive Sketcher Movement, I sketched Benjamin Zephaniah.

Yes I tried to signed up / waiting list but it doesn't seems to be opened anymore sadly.

yes £40 per month

Have you seen this free one by Kirsty Partridge? I bought a realistic course from her and enjoyed it so I joined this workshop too. It is the 20th May. www.kirstypartridge.com/cp-live-work...

I might join the Coloured Pencil Week if it is not too late.

Thank you for the info. It is exactly like the Addictive Sketcher Movement. The Sketch week was also £10 so like you I joined as why not for £10 especially that I wanted to learn to sketched and eventually joined the movement which is a subscription at £40. So far I am learning a lot so I keep going

It is super cool!
Is it an online course or face-to-face?
I am currently part of The Addictive Sketcher Movement, since the Sketch Week I followed from Adebenji Alade. I am learning to sketch, and I received some colour pencils so I am looking at learning on how to use them properly.

I have enjoyed The Åre Murders, Unforgotten and I am quite behind with Blacklists.

I would recommend Orphan Black, one of my favorite TV series.
End of last year I watched The Forest and Black Spot, both french tv show I enjoyed and on Netflix.

Sketch portrait of Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil 'Sunny' Khan | Capybara Monster | I loved watching the TV serie Unforgotten so I have sketched the portrait of Sanjeev Bhaskar as DI Sunil 'Sunny' Khan in graphite pencils.

I loved watching Unforgotten. As I am learning to sketch portrait and hopefully learn to draw them too. I did the portrait of Sanjeev Bhaskar playing the role of Detective Inspector Sunil ‘Sunny’ Khan.
