Small Machine Hand iPad Sketch

I decided to sketch in my chair at the footstool.  I had a sketchbook but no pen or watercolors handy.  Oh, there was my iPad for sketching and in color.  I used the App, Brushes, and my finger to start, then remembered the pencil was right there as well.

This is for the new Hunt.  https://creativespark.art/threads/scavenger-hunt-from-life-180-jan-9-21.8614/


Number 1 - small machine.  A new pencil sharpener that Joanna gave me at Christmas.  It is an ooly, Mighty  Sharpener.  Seems good so far.
Number 2 - hand

We have been doing OK.  Slower at everything we do and because it takes longer to do things we stay busy!  

Gasoline has been going down.  We paid $2.099 yesterday at Buc-ee's.  Joanna paid under $2 at the H.E.B. in Manor on the weekend.  Wow.  We should be traveling.

This came out really nice! You handled the digital sketching well.

Thanks, Joan. I'm always surprised when it looks sort of right. It is easier for me to tell in ink or pastels. Fun today.

R’s Rue, the same to you. Thanks for stopping by. Hugs.

Oh, this is really good Jo. I've tried sketching on my tablet and I'm never pleased with the result. Great work!!

Thanks, John. I need to do it more. I started years ago when Gene got his first iPhone. I don't spend enough time to get used to it so it takes longer than regular sketching, ha.
