Quick sketch 5

Avatar for Hanzell

I'm back with another sketch because honestly, since the exams, I haven't gotten the full time to sketch at all and I really missed doing so. Another reason as to why I sketched is because I really wanted to use the charcoal pencils my sisters gave me for my birthday recently. Charcoal is honestly an expensive medium and much more so was the white charcoal but now that I'm a bit free, I finally made use of them and finished the last piece I was working on

This is the charcoal. It was apparently still pretty pricey even for the raw charcoal type but the color output was simply beautiful.

I wonder if you guys remember the cemetery I hung out at before? There was this one particular bridge there that my grandfather used to enjoy taking me to. I still never knew why but the air was really nice there, and the bridge edges were wide enough that I could lie down then when me and grandpa visited there at 3am, we would not go home until the sun came out (I had sleeping problems and he seriously wakes up around those times). He would tell me stories often. Of how he courted my grandmother, of his trips abroad, of his time on the boat, even some of his favorite recipes he would not tell grandma. They were lovely memories. Yet now, the bridge was replaced with a new one. So I can only draw from memory what I would remember it to be like

It was a rather long bridge though I could not remember how many arches it had. And I could definitely remember the amount of moss and grass that clung onto it's stone that eventually became the reason for its weakening. The river under it didn't smell as bad as it does 10 years ago when I last saw this.

That is quite some detail that you drew from memory. Do you have photographic memory? :)

Ah nice memories you had with your grandpa. I love listening to stories my grandma told too, although most of her stories were sad ones. I wonder why the bridge was replaced with a new one?

Not much of a photographic memory but i remember enough to be able to describe something after seeing it sometimes

I loved the recipes more. I wrote some of those down and then my grandmom would be surprised that i knew about the recipes πŸ˜‚ the bridge was getting crumbly and unsafe. It was built in the early 1900, after all. And plants started to get in between the rocks

That is as good as photographic memory goes :)

Ah recipes. I miss my grandma's. My mistake, I didn't write them down. Now, I try to recreate them through memory, some are successful but some, there seem to be something missing. I will keep trying.

Ah, crumbly is dangerous. Makes sense to rebuild. Did they change the entire structure?

Ohh you also try out recipes. as for me, i usually get it right on the second try but i don't remember a lot of those recipes anymore do it's sad for me

The structure is completely different now. I'll try to take a snap of it the next time i get to visit the cemetery again

A perfect expression of your memory. You have an experienced hand for sketch as well as a sharp memory. Is your grandpa still alive? Reading your grandpa's story made me cry.

Oh thank you but I'm not even sure i remembered the bridge correctly enough. No, my grandfather died a year before that bridge got torn down. I also missed hearing stiries from him but the new bridge built has new memories for me, although with stray dogs but they're still peaceful memories
