Here is my post for this week's Everyday Matters drawing challenge #144 - "draw something square". I really struggled over this challenge as anything "square" I came up with simply did not inspire me to sketch. I did find a little drawing time while waiting in the car for kiddo while she was attending one of her classes this week. Since I had these caramel candies left over from Halloween and making caramel dip for apples, I placed them on the dash and squinted into the low light of the late afternoon. I used graphite and colored pencil for this sketch. It did not turn out as I had hoped, but as it's already Friday evening and I haven't done another, there it is. What I am pleased with is that I am managing to put something in my sketchbook on a regular basis due to inspiration from the Everyday Matters group."If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." - Sir Ken Robinson
This is just great! The shadows make such a difference.
ReplyDeleteAmazing. I love the shadows. Did you eat them after you'd drawn them?
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! And I think it's the shadows that really draws me in to the picture. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Teri, Wendy and Dee! It was pretty harsh lighting coming through the windshield. Wendy, did I eat the caramels? You betcha :)

Beautiful job with the shadows and I really like the way you created the depth of field - like a camera with the apeture wide open.
ReplyDeleteThank you Juj!

Such a neat drawing! The shadows really make the picture :) Well done :)
ReplyDeleteNice choice of something square! And nicely done too!
ReplyDeleteI think you did a great job with "square"! --- I love how you captured the cellophane, something I think would be very hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is really great! I like it that you arranged the candies so, well, artully. It's very very well done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Taralin, Emma, Vicky, and Linda! I really appreciate everyone's kind comments!

Love this sketch!
ReplyDeleteFantastic job on the challenge, Ann.....love the shadows!
ReplyDeleteThank you bmoon and Serena! I do appreciate your stopping by and the kind comments.
ReplyDeleteThe shadows create enough drama and the colored pencil helps with the contrast. You even managed to pull off showing the cellophane that they're wrapped in. Great job!
