Finding inspiration on a rusty tractor.

Inspiration can be found in the strangest of places. I came across an old tractor, the colour was a delicate weathered grey with just a hint of blue. The yellow lichens were a stark and beautiful contrast to the flaking grey paint.
The rusting old parts of the tractor had an interesting array of shapes. I decided to make this the basis of a quick drawing.

I've already started work on turning these drawings into a painting. I will be sharing that soon.
I wonder where I will find my next source of inspiration!

Nice one :D Inspiration is everywhere and when it hits you go with it, great stuff @opheliafu
There's always something nostalgic about old machinery. The gauge looks newer.
I think the tractor is past ever working though!
Still cool.

Beautiful work lady @opheliafu
You do not need to look for inspiration
That is innate in you. Take it with you
Congratulations
Thank you for seeing the creativity in my work.
I love old rusty stuff like that. How did you produce the time-lapse video? It really adds a nice effect!
I just filmed myself drawing on my phone. Edited it, cut bits out and sped it up. I don't have any fancy software, just free stuff.
Look forward to seeing the finished painting, you seem to get inspiration everywhere :)
I've done a fair bit tonight, time to retire for the evening I think!
I've done nothing apart from read and vote, not feeling it at the :( you do work hard so deserve a rest :)
