First up is EDM#159 - Draw your favorite cooking tool. My chef's knife has to be my very favorite cooking tool because I can chop, dice, or mince anything with it and using it makes me feel like a chef on TV. This is done in graphite in my small hand.book journal.
Next up is EDM#160 - Draw a trophy, prize, or award. Okay, I have never received a trophy or won a prize. Except for one time around 1985 when I won about $20. from a $1 lottery ticket. I remember that I then used my prize money to buy a new shower curtain. So this is kiddo's trophy. She received it last year at the ripe 'ole age of 8 for having danced for 5 years. She was very proud and so were we. For days afterward, during unsuspecting moments, kiddo could be found just gazing at her trophy. This was drawn with Graphitints and then washed with water in my hand.book journal.
This time I cheated and combined EDM#161 - Draw something that smells wonderful, with EDM#162 - Draw your breakfast. I also drew this one with Graphitints then washed with water in my hand.book journal. Last Sunday morning I came downstairs to a wonderfully sweet smelling kitchen. Kiddo had made cinnamon buns for breakfast. No, this is not my usual breakfast. Oatmeal is my usual breakfast fare. But these are an occasional treat, super sweet and gooey, just the kind of food a 9 year old loves!
And finally, EDM#163 - Draw a deck of cards. This is an old, old deck of Bicycle Playing Cards we have had forever. Drawn in graphite in my hand.book journal while I was waiting in the car when kiddo was in one of her classes last week.So there you have it. It is fun doing these drawing challenges. And have you noticed that I am branching out just a bit from my usual graphite for these drawings? Must be March Madness!
beautiful work every last one of these sketches...
ReplyDeleteNice work Ann, way to stick with it, even when the going gets busy. I had to laugh with the chef's knife, it's my favorite tool in the kitchen too. There is so much power in it when it is gracefully used. :D Makes me feel like I know what I'm doing in there (which is a lie, I don't know, but it's fun to pretend - and I love salad - the chopping and the eating.)
ReplyDeleteAnn, The knife and cinnamon roll are great! Getting caught up always feels so satisfying! congrats!
ReplyDeleteKen

ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering over that cinnamon roll. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteI love all these pieces, wonderful! The handle on the knife is divine.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely fantastic job on all of these Ann!
ReplyDeleteI have to admit that I'm particularly taken with the cinnamon roll sketch. It looks as though you and watercolours are agreeing with one another!
I also like the trophy sketch, the cropping you've done with it is really great! Good job and thanks for sharing. :D
These are great drawings, especially the breakfast! The melted frosting on top is well done. They make me want to use the media you're using. Thanks for sharing!
