Alright, it was fun playing with my free form Tie Dye image and my Mosiac, but it's time to get back to what I set out to accomplish...improving my drawing skills. I decided for the next week I will draw some of the tools I use in crafting. Above is a pencil and eraser. I don't actually use a Pink Pearl eraser (it is mis-named...it never erases anything...just tears the paper!) but it is so iconic I wanted to draw it.
Next I tackled scissors:
Not bad, but I didn't quite get the detail I wanted. I'll have to keep sketching the scissors in my sketchbook. I do like the style of the Pitt artist pen with the watercolor. It gives it a nice illustration quality. I've always been drawn to line work...I remember loving James Thurber's illustrations even when I was in junior high. It's a style I would definitely like to develop further.
