Sketches Hunt 124

The new Scavenger Hunt 124 has a great list. Jeanne Grant made the list. It is items starting with the letters of the alphabet and one of the challenges is to do them in order, front to back, or back to front. I actually started in order, we shall see how far I get.

Number 1, A- ankle, done with a Micron 05 in my sketchbook along with Number 2, B - bug, plastic one, also the Micron 05 pen.




Number 3, C - cup, and Number 4, D - dolls, hanging on the wall. These were done with the Micron 05 on a page of the sketchbook. Numbers 1 - 4 were done on March 19.



Number 5, E - envelope. A strange envelope we bought at the Post Office. Regular ball point pen, Pilot, in the sketchbook.


Number 6, F - flyswatter. A poor drawing of the electric flyswatter. Pilot pen and colored pencil. All of these drawings were quick with no pre-sketching in pencil. These last two were done today while listening to the Baseball game, the Longhorns lost again. Bah. Read about it on Joanna's page.

Scroll down for another post today.

I've never seen an electric fly swatter. We did have a bug zapper in the back yard once but the Golden retriever was scared and wouldn't go outside to potty. Had to get rid of it.

Jeanne, the flyswatter is OK. You don't "swat" but you turn it on, the batteries are connected to the screen, hover it over the bug/fly or sweep toward it and zap! I'm a little afraid of it. Ha.

The sketches are great. I so admire your discipline with these drawings. I keep telling myself I will participate, but just don't seem to make the time. Maybe this time. You are an inspiration.

Hi Miki, thanks. I find that the Hunts help, mainly to make me sketch out of my comfort zone. I tend to sketch landscapes, which don't have to be exact and makes me lazy about really "looking" at things. I do think it helps when painting as "looking" has become more of a habit.
