Day 13 Sgraffito Challenge

It's Day 13 of the challenge and we are to use a picture of a shark for our sketch today, I definitely do not have time to do this picture justice, so I just used a small part of it for some practice.

Day 12 Sgraffito Challenge

It's Day 12 and today we were to sketch something we use everyday and to make it personal. I sketched my favorite coffee cup with Hope written on it, I can't seem to go a day with out a steamy cup of coffee. This was a very quick sketch since I was tired after work and then having to shovel snow, but I'm not complaining about the snow, it's beautiful. Life happens...

Day 11 Sgraffito Challenge

It's Day 11 and the challenge is to sketch a vegetable paying attention to the texture of the vegetable.  I choose broccoli because of the texture.  I thought maybe a scrubber tool would work great, but found out it didn't for me.  I ended up using my fingers and business card to push the powders around for the look I wanted.

Day 10 Sgraffito Challenge

Today it's Day 10 of the challenge and we are to do a sketch of a fruit in a setting.  Since fruit is not my favorite thing to draw I thought of what landscape could I make with a fruit. A tree came to mind and then what can grow on a tree but an apple. When I was sketching I gave no consideration to scale or what type of tree an apple would grow on, I just had fun with it.

Day 9 Sgraffito Challenge

It's Day 9 and today our challenge was to draw a fruit using the tools we have been using in the other challenges, a found tool, fingers, and a business card. Drawing fruit is not very exciting to me and it probably shows, but if I learn something out of it, great. I drew a pear that had been cut in half.

 

Day 8 Sgraffito Challenge

Well it's Day 8 and our challenge is to make a tool or find something around the house to use, along with the standard use of a sifter and business card in creating our drawings. I used some drywall tape that I found in the garage.

 

Day 7 Sgraffito Challenge

Woohoo, today's challenge was to select something that we have laying around the house that could be used as a mark making tool.  I chose a silicone basting tool that I found in my kitchen, I used it to make a look of a plowed field, or that was a least my intent.
