I can only say it's time for cake. Enjoy the weekend, everyone! 

 

Today is the first Advent in Scandinavia, just in time for a cake, although Christmas cookies would be more appropriate.

'tankie' he rode about in a big noisy target that did nothing but attract attention to itself

 

Yes, a tank is a highly accurate armored weapon that simply may not run out of time to fire the first shot. Now the kings of war are artillery.

 

"I am most afraid of failing at work and losing my injured person, as the guilt will haunt me for the rest of my life. I am also afraid of losing someone close to me, because I know how it is. It’s not scary to die yourself, the light will just turn off at some point, but living with pain is the worst." - Kateryna Halushka

As usual your work (your words and your drawings) leave me speechless.

Kateryna's words eloquently express the burden of a combat medic carries for the rest of his or her life.

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, 101 servicewomen have died, more than 100 have been wounded, and 50 are considered missing. In addition, more than 350 military women were awarded state awards, in particular, two were awarded the title of Heroes of Ukraine, but posthumously: Inna Dereusova and Kateryna Stupnytska.

Amazing art, @Andrew_L! Thanks for sharing.

 

(I don't know what to say about the Russian atrocities anymore. It's unfair, horrendous, etc., etc., etc. Hope it end soon and then that the world can help rebuild Ukraine. I'm not sure there can be justice, but at least a restoration.)

I felt like trying to draw a leaf today, no ore-sketches, no measurements, no preliminary tries. Figure 1 depicts the result. 

 

All that works is due to the pen depicted in Figure 2.

 

Figure 1. The drawing.

Enjoy the weekend!

Very well done.

That one is simply amazing. Truly realistic and, considering the context, an incredible feat. Please, do go on.

[Andrew_L]

Thanks.

 

I don't know how relevant to this topic and I understand this theme is not popular for me lately, and this tool is not usual to me, but I don't want to leave unfinished job on next year.

It's lovely.  Quite impressive what you can do given the instrument you are using!

[Andrew_L]

Thank you very much

[inkstainedruth]

A clear case of "it's not the tool -- it's the person USING the tool...."

Lovely work as usual, Andrew_L!
