Here's what I'm calling my best sketch to date. It's a still life of my sister-in-law's living room. I drew it while I was on vacation recently.

I have two more drawings that I've started. Which will be next? You'll have to tune in and find out...

Later!

Well... I was on vacation for a while, so I had a chance to practice some drawing. I did one on my vacation that makes me particularly happy: I really am learning how to draw well just from reading this book and practicing! [Read it; you can draw too! Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain]

Before I show you that, though, here are the practice drawings I did just prior to leaving for my vacation. Lesson: sighting proportions and angles correctly yield accurate perspective renderings.

OK, now I get to post my favorite (best?) drawing to date. This is a drawn copy of a photo of my grandmother from a long, long time ago. I called it "Before I Knew Grandma" and I gave her the original in a frame for her birthday in early September.

Happy Birthday Grandma!
