Feeling prickly!




















Stop the world, I want to get off! Every now and then the craziness of the world we live in gets to me and I don't want to draw, I need to draw. This beautiful, natural cone was just the job. I'm not too happy with it, I might try it again before it disintegrates.

I particularly love the feel of that joint in the stem.

WOWOWOWOW!! I JUST LOVE IT!! I'M THRILLED BY YOUR DETAILS, FELICITY!!! And I think it's a magnolia pod?

I know what you mean when you say that you need to draw. It seems like all my stress temporarily disappears whenever I draw.

What an interesting cone. You've bought it to life beautifully - I imagine it was a good subject to get your teeth into; all those round pods and the bend in the stem.

Love this one, you really captured the form

Is that a magnolia seedpod? It's lovely. What didn't you like about your drawing?

Jana, it's probably that I did it whilst in a grumpy mood :)! It's OK but I can see the heaviness in the shading.

Thanks for all the lovely comments!
