Drawing things

Pencil holder

M commented yesterday that I really like drawing people, but I ought to try drawing more things.

So this is what I drew today – the pencil holder on my desk. This is an old mug, its handle broke off. I couldn’t bring myself to throw it away because it was the first gift my late mother-in-law gave me. So it has a second life as a pencil holder.

I spent about forty minutes drawing this, I think. It’s okay as it goes but I wonder how it might have gone if I had spent more time on it. Also, I think the shadow is wonky.

There is so much to draw – the possibilities are endless!
