This is a thirty-minute sketch of one of the cordless phones we have.
Once again, my perspective is off. It looks like the phone is being twisted in a strange way. Also, the buttons are not positioned exactly right.
On the plus side, I’m really happy with how the faceplate came out. I think I captured the look of the different materials on the phone.
Office Space is one of my favorite movies. There’s a poor guy named Milton who is crapped on at every turn. His most prized possession is his red Swingline stapler; when the company switched to Bostich, he stood his ground. Good for you, Milton.
Anyway, here’s my stapler.
Just messing around with a watercolor set.
The drawing was done with a Pilot G2 gel pen and the color was applied using Cotman watercolors from Winsor & Newton.
The starburst effect is an artifact from the scanner in conjunction with the fact that my sketchbook is not exactly compatible with water media. I guess I’ll have to buy a watercolor pad for this kind of thing.
I’ve got a lot of work to do yet on my drawing though. A good painting starts with a good drawing, so I will stay focused on the drawing for the near future.
Our kitty has a shoe fetish. She loves to rub her head on them, and we often find her sitting amongst the shoes in our entry way; keeping guard. She also has a sensitive stomach. Never before have the two mixed, until one morning in November when I woke to find cat vomit in one of my walking shoes. Gross, but it does make for an interesting story around this sketch of the shoe in question.
This was drawn in my sketchbook with a fountain pen. Some of the ink was pushed around with a watercolor brush loaded with clean water.
