A picture a day, day 5: Cell phone
Cell phone (no. 5): gel penTo loosen up after yesterday's broccoli, which took about 2 hours, and because I was busy today, I just decided to do a doodle-like sketch of my cell phone, an object I can't do without but which I sometimes dread, like my computers. Done with a 3-color gel pen (red, blue, black) in about 10 minutes.

A picture a day, day 4: Broccoli (sketch)
Broccoli sketch (4a): pencilI did actually do a color version of the broccoli, but the scanner totally failed to pick up the greens, turning it into a blob of yellow with green bits. I may try to photograph it in the morning when I have more light. For now this is just the preliminary pencil sketch.

A picture a day, day 3: Gala apple
Gala Apple: Colored pencil (Faber-Castell Polychromos).A Gala apple is a medium red with a yellow-green-orange undertone, and quite streaky. Getting that streakiness is rather difficult.
The apple also looks rather lanky.
I haven't really done much with colored pencils before and so far it's a rather frustrating tool But I think I will stick with it for at least a month.
