A Mug - Of Sorts
I did this week’s Everyday Matters Challenge, #43 draw something ceramic, while at work. I use an old mug to hold my writing implements, I took out the pencils and turned the handle around because that was too tedious for me.
I did it twice, neither is particularly successful but it was fun and gave me something to do while installing software on my computer at work.

What I learned doing these drawings:
1) I don’t particularly like drawing realistic things.
2) I liked shading and drawing the background of my cube wall in the second one. Just making marks with the pencil is what interests me.
3) I’m really an abstract artist
4) The mug in the second drawing looks like it is furry - probably don’t want to drink out of it.

I like the way you incorporate the mug with the abstract elements in both drawings. Especially nice is the background on the second drawing. It adds a lot of dimension. It’s really nice to have you in the Everyday Matters group. I’m working on moving my blog to a WordPress installation on my web site and you are inspiring me. Also I’m looking forward to your next installment in the Why - Motivation category.

Nicely done! You could try doing vertical strokes next time and see if that eliminates the “hairy” look! (been there, done that …)
