I saw these shoes and I had to buy them which is VERY strange because if you know me, I don’t ever buy shoes or clothes. They just don’t matter to me. These shoes looked almost antique though and are a combination of a man and a woman’s shoe giving it a very unique look. I have only started this sketch and will be working on it further. I will upload the drawing as it transforms. I hope you enjoy the process as much as I do. I am also going to use this drawing as my edm challenge for last week. 

Hello. I know , I know. The last post was the 10th but you need to believe me I have been working. ? There will be times when there is no art to put up and that is only because I am creating logos and other art for clients. Unless they let me know I can post it in my portfolio, I really shouldn’t use the art I sold to them. Its an ethical thing you know? Anyway, that is my excuse for my 7 day disappearance but tonight I am itching to get some of my own sketching done. I am heading to the couch right now with my sketchbook and will be sure to post before I go to bed… probably around 2am. 

Okay, here is my one little result from a day of sketching. I had a great plan of going to all the great historical places in RI and sketch a bunch of them but I got up too late and went too quickly  thinking the snow was going to come. Little did I know It was not going to hit until tonight. Oh well. Live and learn… next sketch crawl will be better planned.

Hmmm…. this one was interesting. As you know I joined the ‘Every Day Matters’ group. In this group the leader assigns an object per week out of your ‘everyday’ life to draw. This week it was a soda can. I have to say, if it wasn’t for this challenge, I would NEVER have continued this drawing once I started it. It looked easy enough but when it came down to it, shiny metallic is not the easiest thing to draw with a regular pencil. Eventually my eyes adjusted to the shadowing and I managed to find the depth of the can. Not one of my best but I am better because of it! 

I like my telephone best when its quiet. It looks so pretty just sitting there all old fashioned and stuff. I always wanted to draw it and would ‘some day’ so here it is some day… and if it wasn’t for this sketchblog challenge I most likely would have never drawn my favorite telephone. I have only just started it but I do intend to finish it and will post it in stages. I did join the EDM group on yahoo and need to complete my weekly challenge there. Each week they post something you need to draw from every day life hence the group name ‘every day matters’ This week it is a soda can. I managed to get one from a friend today because I personally don’t like to drink the poison at my house so I never buy it but when I do occasionally drink it, its ALWAYS a coke. So that is the can I chose to draw. I will be posting it tomorrow. 

To me, there is nothing better that a cold rainy/slushy day for sketching. So today will be very productive for me. As promised though, I am going to post some sketches from the last few days. By tonight, I can post my rainy day sketch.
