Feet Sketches: Fourth, Forth

I have now tied my record for consecutive days of sketching. Nine.

I started to lose patience after the folded over fabric. The second foot is not right. I was not able to get the fabric and my feet to be the same for the photo as it was for the sketch, but you get the idea.

The shadow of the pen about to touch the paper is something I plan to continue to use in future attempts.

Onward.

O Christmas Tree

Had to do this before the tree comes down.

I still like doing the feet sketches, and I have some that have not been posted.

I'm trying to figure out what is important about the feet sketches.

I think it is the folds of fabric, and trying to represent form.

Since it is technical skills that seem to interest me, I'm going to continue to sketch for awhile and not start a big painting yet. 

Am I just trying to talk myself out of starting a big painting? Probably.

Feet Sketches: third

This is me relaxing at my Dad's house.

Amber was just on the other side of that doorway making a quiche.

Dad was probably checking on the chickens.

I like how we visit for awhile, and then do our own thing for awhile.

Yes, that is a guitar case. Lots of options for music here.

And now, a Banjo

I'm at my Dad's house and there is this banjo sitting in front of me.

I never noticed before how the frets get closer together at the base of the neck.

My pen ran out as I was doing the shadow.
