Vehicle Sketch and Stuff

Our saga continues.  We did get DirecTV yesterday and a new TV the day before.  We will  be without Starlink for a couple more weeks, they have to send a whole new system and we will have to get it installed.  We got a new DVD player as well.   I'm typing on my iMac using the Hotspot for internet.  Life is complicated.  Fortunately we are able to do this financially.  I cannot imagine how hard this inflation is for working folks.

Vehicle was on the list for Scavenger Hunt 52

Number 1, vehicle - in the Ohuhu sketchbook with the Blick gray markers and a Zig Millenneum 05.  I sketched the pickup belonging to the garage door opener worker.  Pretty snazzy.  It was longer in the back.  I was sitting in our car with the door open so had a parking space view.  Good excuse, right.  Oops, Gene would say good reason, not excuse.  

There isn't a lot of variation in the three darker markers, but  the truck does look a little shiny.  It was black with only silver on the mirror, bumpers and letters and around the lights.

We will see how 2023 treats us!  Hope your day and week is good.

I'm so sorry things haven't been sorted out completely for you. Sounds like you should be set once the new system is installed. Will keep my fingers crossed. Nice that you had someone bring along a nice subject to sketch. Good luck with all of this!

ashok, thanks so much. I find vehicles hard to sketch with the rounded lines.

René, I hope these wheels serve us well along with 2023. Thanks! Happy New Year.

Joan, thank you. The new equipment for Starlink is on the way, so maybe this week! Yay. I find trucks and cars hard to sketch, no faith in my lines. Ha.

Joanna, thank you. Hopefully the Starlink will be up this week. I'm still using the phone as a hotspot to type on the computer.
