EDM #246 and Other Sketches

I take my mom out everyday for a little fresh air. I have had my sketchbook and knitting with me. I get a little lost trying to find subjects. On Tuesday, I sketched fingerless gloves I made for my mom since she brought them with her. I think it qualifies for the EDM #246 drawing.





I did create art everyday this past week(pats own back). I previously blogged about the AJS lesson #3. I made another piece based on that lesson but I am waiting for the muse to strike for the final inspiration.

I am not overly happy with these sketches. Atfer all these years, I still have problems with value and I focus too much on detail. I want perfection.

As a knitter I love, love, love the fingerless gloves. I have commercial ones but none home made.
Thanks for sharing
lots of love from susan in australia

Well I think you did a great job sketching these things. I really like the mitten and the mailbox. I know what you mean about trying for too much detail but we have to draw how we see things. I love to look at other people's really sketchy pics but I can't seem to draw that way myself.

I really like those gloves! The sketch complimenting them is just like cream with cherry on the top ^^
Your sketches are beautifully done, very subtle but brings out the life of the subject. Can't wait to see more

Your sketches are great. You are a talented person. Like you, I often feel my sketches are lacking. However, we are drawing and moving forward. Don't allow your inner critic to hold you back.

I love the gloves and the sketch. I have never had a pair of finerless gloves and am just contemplating knitting some for myself. I do a lot of contemplating.....
The gloves in your sketch fill the page so beautifully - they are bursting with confidence!
