EDM 184 Draw a bench

Everyday Matters #174 Draw a bridge

a funny thing happened after I read that the challenge was a bridge. ..

I actually thought I would have to dig out some old pictures of the Coronado Bay Bridge in San Diego, but I didn't want to go through the hassle.

What bridge can I draw? Where will I find one?

Suddenly, out of the clear blue sky, my friend Eileen emailed some pictures from her recent trip to Berkeley, California.

There it was right in front of my face, bright as day.. the Golden Gate Bridge, in San Francisco.

Here is my sketch and my "entry" for EDM Draw a bridge from drawn from my friend's photo.

Thanks Eileen!

Everyday Matters - Draw a camera

EDM challenge 164 is draw a camera. Um . . . it's not really smaller on one side. I guess I got distracted watching the Olympic torch walking while I was drawing. Lamy Safari and walnut ink.

Everyday Matters - BED

Everyday matters challenge #5 WAS draw your bed. I don't know why I never wanted to draw my bed. Maybe I didn't want to show it to the world or maybe I didn't want to draw it because I ALWAYS draw myself in it for my journal entries. Headaches . . . toothaches . . . . nightmares.

SEE... here it is on the 15th.

When I forget to turn the heat down on my blanket, it causes me to have nightmares. That's funny...

Everyday Matters Challenge #11

EDM Challenge #11 is draw your glasses or sunglasses. I tried to draw them with out wearing any glasses and it was like doing a BLIND contour drawing while seeing double.
