Sunday Sketching 28March2010 "Orchids"

I'm trying to press harder when I draw so it will show up when scanned but looking at today's efforts, I'm not sure I have succeeded. It is much better if you click to enlarge though! I am still drawing from real life but I am very taken with some of the fanciful ones others have done. I'll spend more time looking at all of your work after I take my daughter to the art gallery. I am hoping to come back with lots of ideas. (And a fancy new blank journal for my CED2010 efforts! I can't believe it is almost full.)



I played around with my drawing pencils to help me decide which to use when. While not a sketch, it helped to produce the "Orchids"!



Hope you had fun sketching today!

  3. Looks great - Orchids are so exotic - I think maybe a challenge. I am having the same issue with my pencils, so I am trying to do darker than usual stuff. I think I will try out all of my pencils the way you have to identify which works best.
