French-German Student Exchange 2008

This one was drawn back in 2008 if I remember correctly and I honestly forgot that I've ever drawn this xD
Just a couple of days ago my brother send it to me, saying that my former French Teacher still had these pictures drawn by me (top, front cover) and my friend (bottom, back cover) for the exchange trip when we had been to France.

• DEDICATION: Obviously to all those who took part in that exchange ^^
  
• Time: Since it's been a long time ago and I didn't even remember ever drawing this I'd guess less than an hour maybe ?
  
• Medium/Material: Pencil & FineLiner
  
• Like: Can't find anything xD
  
• Dislike: Well..it's been a while after all so ...

Even though not really helpful it was still a good experience to take part in that exchange and it was actually nice to meet new French friends. 

The reason we drew this (I think) was to give the brochure my teacher was preparing for us students (as well as the French students..) a nice cover so we thought we'd do one for the front and one for the back of it. It's like we wanted to say before we went for the exchange trip everyone was quite clueless how it would be and if we could manage to socialize there with our basic French knowledge learned in school. In the end we're parting with contentment and a suitcase full of new experiences ! ..or so ...whatever xD

Anyways ~ I miss the time being in school and having time for the whole day for drawing may it be in class or during the breaks ♫ xD Even this French teacher of ours got used to it when I was in Secondary so that even if she knew I was drawing she didn't say a thing about it :D At break time she even passed by and wanted to take a look, which was actually quite werid at times because she was that interested o.O

Sooo,... even though it's a bit embarassing to show this very old picture I thought it shouldn't be burried somewhere either haha :D

Love,

[Random] About Art Supplies & Stuff [001]

Hi to everyone ;)

I thought that since I am not posting constantly about new Artworks, I could use some space and post about Art Supplies I use or I'd like to have :D

You're most welcome to give me some advice if you've got any experience with the things I post here ;)

So first of all today I coincidentally stumbled on this:

It's a limited Edition of 888 either Biros or Pens from the Brand Caran d'Ache Geneve for the Year of the Dragon in 2012. 

Total cost: 2500,-€

The description I found about this 'objet d'art' which is surely not for using imo:

The Chinese lacquering is a masterpiece of craftsmanship: the body of the pen is given several coats, first red then black. The result is a truly dramatic contrast as the fire-red dragon seems to explode out of an infinity of intense black. The Geneva company is one of the very few Western manufacturers to master this ancient technique. Chinese lacquer is a natural product, derived from the resin of the "Rhus Vernicifera", that creates delicate reflections and incredibly deep colours. Chinese Lacquer is applied by hand in a succession of layers then polished many times in an exclusive process that combines traditional Chinese methods and modern technology. The mystery surrounding the colour of Chinese lacquer is even greater.

But it would be really nice to have one though, wouldn't it ? :'D
