A Little Photography Too ...

Hello again chums :)

You wont be restricted to seeing only my drawings on this blog, i want to share some of my (verry!) amateur photographs with you too :) Ive replaced my old camera recently ; i owned a Pentax Optio 60 compact but now i have a Sony Cybershot DSC-W110. My old cam had gotten faulty; I couldve gotten it fixed (it started showing stripes accross the screen) but i was too lazy and wasnt too impressed with my cam anyways so i went for the Sony...

The photos below are all taken with my Pentax, no Sony yet ! I only have very little to show you anyways, but im hoping to go out and capture more (gotta diss work somehow and squeeze photoshooting activity in between my drawing time!)...Here goes :

My Drawing Tools ...

These are the stuff i can never do without when drawing :

• My 2mm mechanical pencil (2B,3B)
• Dark 8B pencil
• Charcoal pencil or stick (not always, only for very dark areas)
• Squishy rubber
• Special mechanical pencil sharpener
• A4 or B4 sized semi-grained paper
