My Finger Pointing at Me

Some time for the scavenger hunt, finally. This one ends on November 1 and I have only done 4 of the 26 and 2 of the 3 challenges. Oh, my.

#2 is My Finger Pointing at Me and on the same page one of the challenges, #3, a clothespin, but drawn with my left hand. You may be able to see in the note, that I obviously can't spell left handed either.



Next #4, Something that starts with "O", olives, they are black which you can't really tell in the sketch and the bottom of the bowl is way off. (no erasing, remember) Then the challenge was to sketch something that started with the other vowels. So, ink for "I", eggs for "E", axe for "A" and umbrella for "U". Gene came up with axe so I wouldn't have to do another apple and the umbrella. Thanks, Gene.





These were done in my Canson sketchbook which is about 6 x 9 inches with the ZIG Milleneum pen, a favorite.

Sketching is something that you have to do constantly to be good and quick at. I still have a long way to go .. but I'm on the way. I haven't reached the point where I miss not doing it every day when I don't find the time. That is part of my goal -- to learn to love it. I am enjoying it when it looks like what I see in my head. So.. keep on sketching.

I can't believe you can sketch at all with your left hand. I have a hard enough time with my right hand!

I can't believe it either. I have tried writing with my left before, but not sketching.

There have been fun challenges on the Scavenger Hunts. Good practice.
