Description
My first try at drawing with SILVER. Pretty cool.This is a surreal depiction of what I remember from being in Brazil with my family when I was 9 years old.

This is very nice. It feels like a fading, broken memory.
Btw, do you remember the name of the city/state you were, when you came to Brazil? I'd risk guessing it was anywhere closer to the northern regions, judging by the many aspects depicted here.

What do you mean by drawing with silver? Like a silver pencil crayon?

it's called silverpoint, its a super hard lead made of silver. you have to sharpen it with sandpaper, and you can only draw on certain types of paper. in my case I drew on white coloraide paper
