1593 – Impossible subject

This sketch from the weekend was a bit of disaster – but I promised myself I would post everything I draw…so here goes. This is supposed to be a cloth bag on the couch…I definitely need to practice my drapery. It looked like a roast chicken!

1240 – Legend

ACE.1240-LEGEND 191028-2-WM

Here is my sketch for the #Inktober prompt of ‘legend’. Believe it or not this stuffed toy belonging to my daughter, is actually supposed to be a unicorn – a legendary animal. Goodness knows where we got this toy from…but it was fun to draw anyway. To me a unicorn is a mythological animal like a horse with a single horn – apparently they first appears in early Mesopotamian artworks and in Indian and Chinese myths.  However these days a unicorn also means a privately held startup company valued at over $1 billion!

1120 – Found shell

Here is an evening sketch of a big shell I found packed away in one of our trunks. I think this is half of a giant clam (it’s more than a handspan across) that I picked up on a beach in Panay years ago.
