A sketch from some movie I was watching.
Some sketchbook sketches
Wanted to post those for a long time, just some random drawings, probably based on films I saw:
Room still life
Here's a sketch of some things in my room: palette, candle, cup, etc.I broke this cup today, by occasion - this sketch will make a good memory...
London in July - several random sketches
Here's a batch of sketches I made during our small July vacation:

I have some more sketches from London as well, will post them these days.
You won't get me here!
Беляки в генеральском собрании,
Проходившем в Сибири, в изгнании,
Утвердили прави-
телем Русской земли
Колчака, адмирала по званию.
До сих пор удивляюсь, как Верховным Правителем России генералы выбрали адмирала.
А. Дубровский, 2011
In a general meeting that was held in Siberia, in exile, White guards approved Kolchak, Admiral officer, for a head of Russian land (I still wonder how Russia's generals have chosen an admiral as supreme ruler)(makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).
Happy birthday!
A series of birthday cards goes on, today featuring Vitalik, a guitar player from Moscow's live trip-hop band Salto.

Славный Август из города Рима
Был богами поддержан незримо.
И тогда по рогам
Надавал всем врагам
Тот неистовый Август из Рима.
Воистину, завоевательная политика императора Октавиана Августа была впечатляющей.
А. Дубровский, 2011
Glorious August from the city of Rome Was supported by the invisible gods. And then by the horns Slapped he all his enemies That frenetic August of Rome (truly, aggressive policy of the emperor Octavian Augustus was impressive). (makeshift translation of A. Dubrovski's poem).
A sketch from Barbican
I've never been to this place before, although heard a lot about it, and fell in love with it immediately. Will definitely come here again, both for sketching and for events!

Bike trip to Windsor
Here's some sketches from our bike trip to Windsor. It was a long way (we spent 5 hours on bikes), but the path is very nice. It goes along the river most of the time, which is very picturesque, and features hundreds of geese, river locks, bridges and even a ferry. It was hard not to stop for sketching every fifteen minutes!
Windsor castle:
A pencil sketch of a bridge in Staines, which is half way through:
Church in Greenwich
Among many other places we visited during the May holidays was Greenwich. We got there by boat and had a nice walk around. This sketch is from a top of a hill, above the prominent Greenwich meridian:
McAlma-mater
Labels on the uniforms say: "doctor of science", "associate professor".
