Grey and sepia ink with watercolour in Moleskin watercolour sketchbook. Guess what, I managed a tripple challenge this week as well! I think I will make a sport out of it ;) The story is behind is kind of funny - I was going for this weeks challenge - EDM # 269, draw something annoying. I was sitting with my sketchbook wondering what really annoys me when suddenly my glasses fell from my nose, broken. "That´s annoying", I thought, and there it was.... Inspired by last week I went through the challenge list and found that my drawing also matches EDM#11, draw your glasses and EDM #167, draw something that needs fixing.
Edit: almost forgot to write - a friend of mine did a really neat drawing inspired by the apple pattern on my tablecloth - check that out if you would like to see what the apples really look like..... http://johannajazoo.blogspot.com/2010/04/apple-day.html (Although in reality the pattern is white apples on dark blue background.)
Beautiful sketch. I love the pattern on the background and the way you made glass...glassy :)

The reflections and the cloth beneath the lenses are wonderful. I find it annoying when that little, teeny, tiny screw falls out and I can't find it because - my glasses are broken!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great drawing, and it's so complicated, what with the tablecloth and all! nancy
ReplyDeleteLove the reflections on the glasses!

Amazing - its the reflections in the glass and the colour of the frames that really make it !
ReplyDeleteThis is very well done. The drawing look very 3D. Great reflections on the glasses.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous sketch, Anna! You've captured so much depth with the apples behind the glasses! Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job on the tablecloth and the transparency on the glasses.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sketch. The glasses look so real. So you have a new challenge - can you fit 4 challenges in one drawing?
ReplyDeleteThat looks a great drawing.

ReplyDeletegreat job with killing 3 birds with 1 stone! I really like the sketch, and you'd done a great job with the shine of your glasses! =)
