Garbejaire - detail
I scanned this one in grey tones, while the whole drawing in the previous post was scanned in colour, which looks at the same time more and less natural than the original drawing... (hm, I always knew I should learn more about hardware calibration one day...)
Garbejaire
I'm trying Bristol paper here, and a slightly lager format than the last sheets - but what a mess to scan that! Had to do it in three parts with my A4 scanner.

Place Saétone and Kofi
Hier j'ai fait ce dessin de la place Saétone (à Nice bien sûr) depuis la terrasse du restaurant «l'Albatros » où ma fille participait à un tournoi d'échecs.
Si vous me dites que mon dessin n'est pas tout à fait fini, alors je vous donne tout à fait raison: après un certain temps je m'intéressais plus au portrait de ce monsieur qui s'était arrêté pour me regarder dessiner. Je lui ai demandé s'il avait quelques minutes pour s'asseoir pour que je fasse son portrait, et il était d'accord.
Il s'appelle Kofi, et il travaille dans ce même restaurant, l'Albatros.
Yesterday I made this drawing of the Saétone place (in Nice), from the terrace of the restaurant "l'Albatros", where my daughter participated in a chess tournament.
If you think my drawing looks a bit unfinished, I must agree with you: After a while I was more interested in the portrait of this man who had arrived and stopped to watch me drawing. I asked him if he had a few minutes time to sit down and let me draw him, and he agreed.
His name is Kofi, and he works in that very restaurant, l'Albatros.
Diese Zeichnung von der 'place Saétone' in Nizza habe ich gestern von der Terrasse des Restaurants "l'Albatros" aus gemacht, in welchem meine Tochter an einem Schachturnier teilnahm.
Wenn sie auch finden dass meine Zeichnung noch nicht ganz fertig ist, haben sie sicher recht: Nach einer Weile interessierte ich mich viel mehr für das Porträt dieses Mannes, der inzwischen gekommen und stehengeblieben war, um mir beim Zeichnen zuzuschauen.
Ich fragte ihn, ob er ein bisschen Zeit hätte um sich zu setzen, damit ich ihn zeichnen könne, und er war einverstanden.
Sein Name ist Kofi, und er arbeitet in genau dem Restaurant, "l'Albatros".

Theleme
A view on the Theleme building in Sophia Antipolis.
It's an interesting architecture and my drawing doesn't really show a lot of it, but after a few discarded drawings (again), this one suddenly seemed to know better than myself what I was looking for...
(Anyone interested in architecture? I just found this link where the building is presented.)

Athena
The Athena building in Sophia Antipolis ... I struggled quite a bit with this view, couldn't get anything satisfying on paper for several days - probably due to the complex geometrical forms being interrupted by the trees, but that's just what is so interesting in this place.This solution here works fine for me, and I think it's because I rather 'painted' with a long arm, instead of drawing meticulously with the hand directly on the paper as I tried the other days.
I also set the contours of the building only once the large forms were already there, this method often seems to work better than the other way round.
