edm #3: Draw a purse, wallet or bag

My wife's new red leather bag is much more interesting than my worn out old black wallet, I'm sure you will agree. What I, and most men, don't understand though is the need of such a monster bag when simply going to the movies, the grocery store, the gas station.

It's a mystery of significant dimension.

How do we go these places, guys, with only a small leather wallet in our hip pockets and still come out without major incident - like the women intimate when they are without their purses, or bags?

edm #2: Draw a Lamp

This lamp isn't even close to the one I had in my head to draw for this challenge when I went to bed last night. When I got up this morning I was still thinking aobut the old lamp on my computer desk to draw, the one I had thought about when I went to bed.

So when I got my sketchbook, pens and watercolors, I drew this one instead. It was sorta like I hadn't noticed this one as something to sketch before and then all of a sudden, there it was, staring at me and sketchbook.

Then when I added the script at the bottom I almost wrote that it was in our "dining room," but you'll see how I caught that, just in the nick of time, or maybe just a bit past the nick of time depending on how you look at it.

Anyway, this lamp hangs in our kitchen nook and it gets much more use than the one hanging in the "dining room, where we seldom eat or do anything.

Just thougt you might be interested . . . lol.

edm #1: Draw a Shoe (Boot)

These boots carry the scuffs, and scratches, and even some of the dirt put there over fourteen years ago, by my father before he passed away. They are one half-size too samll for me to wear, but I keep them in my shoe/boot collection anyway.

This sketch is number "one" of my dedication to redo all the EDM challenges I have already done, along with the ones that are yet to be completed. I want to draw them sequentially in a series of sketchbooks.

I think it will be interesting to see where this project has taken me, or me it, in the coming weeks and months.
