That's really cool! Interesting composition as well.

Might be my eyes, but I did struggle to see what was going on until you started shading more heavily.

Pardon my ignorance, but will the pencil not be absorbed into the watercolours?

here's my effort.
A composition of pencil and yellow highligher pen on paper.
I feel I have captured a simple, naive innocence of one man and his bike.

I wasn't keen on the music either, but you can always mute the sound! I quite enjoyed the visuals.

I wish I could draw and paint. I once had a chat with a woman who taught art and she reckoned that she could get almost anybody to the point where they could produce something of reasonable quality. Brilliance took talent, but competence could be taught ... I'd take some convincing of that. Maybe I will go to some classes one day and see for myself.

It would be funny if I discovered in my late 50s that I had some kind of flair for art that had remained dormant all my life, but somehow I can't see it! (I'd be less surprised to discover a hidden musical talent, but even that would come as a shock.)

There must be lots of people who never try things that they would naturally excel at. I have heard of people getting on bikes for the first time in 30 years and blowing away experienced, fit cyclists.

It's not Chris Froome. It's Wallace!

Look at the grin.

See what I mean?

Nice picture, but the chain looks slack....

 

[yello]

Was it only me thinking 'can you guess what it is yet?'

here's my effort.

Brilliant. I think you've captured his nose perfectly.... now if you'd like to give it back.
