EDM challenge 94: Draw a Spoon

When I first saw this challenge, I knew exactly which spoon I had to draw. This one has been around for at least 35 years and was especially coveted by two little girls. It was a race to see who got to the drawer first and usually a fight afterward about something being unfair. The memory makes me laugh. I wonder if my sister has thought about our breakfast rituals.

More sketches from the first week of May

These are more sketches from this week. They wouldn't all fit into the first post today! I apologize for all the bad scans today. My dad is waiting for me to update my blog so we can get back to work!

The top drawing is of modified contours (one is a blind contour, I think it's obvious which one!!!) I did from photos on morguefile.com. It's done in pencil.

The second drawing is done in ballpoint pens.

The third is done in pencil. That sketch is only an inch square.

I've been busy!!

Whew! I signed up for the Everyday in May challenge and then unexpectedly, I got very busy, starting on May 1st! You see, I don't currently work and usually have plenty of time for anything, but my mom decided to remodel her kitchen. The work is being done by my father and me. By the end of each day my body aches so much that I haven't taken the time to do more carefully observed drawings. Or to add color. Or to even look for more appropriate paper. On my last post, I was very excited to see that Joan Sanford-Cook would be watching my progress, and I had planned to start working more with adding tone (a weakness that I had hoped to get her help with). But, I was just too tired to tackle all of that. I am just happy that I have drawn something everyday. Even if it was just a small thing. So, here is what I've been working on since the first of May. I also have some pictures of the work in progress in the kitchen, which I still have to upload from my camera. I'll post them later.
