Scavenger Sketches

Well, I had a little itch to sketch today, so stopped by Scavenger Hunt 68. I missed #67 completely, which is OK. I do peek in even when I don't sketch or post. I'm addicted.

It has been a while since I sketched at all or touched an art tool of any kind. Too much company and fun, oh, and food. Now I have a cold and the post Christmas doldrums.

Here are my quick sketches for this Hunt. They were done with a Micron 005 pen in my small NY sketchbook. For anyone new checking in, I sketch with a pen with no pencil drawing, trying to look and sketch correctly as practice for painting. Look twice and stroke once. Something like carpenter work .. measure twice, cut once.


#1, clamp - 5 minutes, #2 Favorite pen - 5 min., #3 Glasses - 10 minutes, #4 A piece of jewelry - a turquoise ring - 5 minutes


#5 Door knob and challenge, whole door - 10 minutes



#6 Soy Sauce - 7 minutes



#7 An orange, a bag of clementines - 10 minutes
