Sketching #56: Pair

Response #56: Pair
Response #56: Pair

Ice skates immediately came to mind when I posted this prompt. It took me a long time to finally get them to sort of look like skates.

Response to Pair Creative Prompt.

Sketching #65: Arches

Creative Prompt Response: Arches
Creative Prompt Response: Arches

I like SherriD’s response much better than mine, but I was on a roll, so here it is. Part of my unhappiness has to do with the size of the paper and the consistency I want to keep in the drawings. I may do another response to this prompt. We will see. Enjoy!

Sketching #62: Coffee

Response #62: Coffee
Response #62: Coffee

That umbrella keeps appearing. I really like the idea of sitting under an umbrella on the sidewalk, in a cafe’. I never have found the reality to be quite as wonderful as the idea, though.

This drawing is in response to the Coffee Creative Prompt.

Sketching #64 Flower

Response #64: Flower
Response #64: Flower

Last week Jill mentioned the crack in one of her comments. That comment brought this response to life. I think I could have made the stem a bit taller. I may draw it again with a taller stem, but we will see.

This is in response to the Flower Creative Prompt.
