Starting off with another beautiful sunset. This time I wanted to share with you some photos from Aggia Sophia. Unfortunately the quality of my camera is not that good indoors. I tried to capture some elements that give you the emotion that this place gave me. I have to tell, nothing beats the experience of actually being there and just contemplating.

Otherwise, I managed to get some more drawings done. Mainly I have some studies of skulls at different angles and I tried to draw a face using charcoal. It's quite difficult, as I have never used this before, but I'd like to try it out some more. You can see some of the skulls are done in the same way.

Beautiful post, Mike ! Love how you captured that sunset pic in the first image and I think I agree, it is incomparable to experience place directly and through photos, but still, I think your photos are able to bring that ancient and soulful feeling of this old church... :D Which is the next best thing for someone like me, who would probably will never get the actual chance for a visit! So, thanks <3 !!!

Love the drawings, too, the skull, being done from different angles is a very interesting exercise and I really like the final piece, with its well developed shadows and framing :)

I'm soo happy you enjoyed the photos, spidey! I realize that's the beauty of sharing those experiences, taking other people through your adventures and letting everyone see how wonderful the world can be :)

Thank you for the nice words! It gets a bit repetitive to do all those skulls, but I know this will really help me in the long run.
