Nice list Joanie. There are a few things that I would like to try there. Hopefully the time fairy drops by today.

Great list this week as always.

Here's my first drawing. The nail clipper.
There was once a chain attached to it, but it's been reported missing for some time now.

I will try to make more drawing as time permit.

I just love these challenges.
The clipper was a challenge, every time I move my head, the reflection of the light change and
I had to reposition mysefl to get the right view. I guess that's why they call it a challenge.

While I'm at it, I have a question. How do you post a comment without having the whole message posted with your response? The picture and all get posted when I try to comment on a drawing. Thanks

Ok here is another drawing. My old tooth brush.

Also my cofee money for tomorrow.

There is a radio also done this one tonight. It's a kid radio, I wouldn't listen to this radio for too long. The sound is not very good in those little plastic things.

PS: where do you find the fast reply, all I see is (quote and reply)?

Never mind, finaly found it at the bottom of the page. Thanks

That's a great job on the nail clippers. A neat list too, Joanie.

Mecharver, I always use the fast reply to keep from posting another message with the picture in it. You can't use the smilies but I usually don't add them anyway. I think the AddReply will allow you to use the smilies, etc. but not add the quote also but I'm not real sure on that.

Mecharver ...great job and detail on those clippers ....

Mercharver - here's a little tip for you. When I was drawing my lightbulb I did this. The bulb kept rolling over on me (I guess my table wasn't level) I stuck a tiny piece of my kneaded eraser on the bottom and it stood still. LOL Anyway, I also drew a little line on the table to mark where it was placed so my highlights wouldn't keep changing on me. Then erased the table when I was done.

Great job on the clippers - that really was a hard one.

Well, I might try this list for fun even if I can't upload them.

The cup of water with ice in it should be fun. Lets play "How fast can you draw?"
Can of soup - Who am I, Andy Warhol?

I didn't see the option of nail clippers at first so Mechaver's from far away looked like an upside down bug.

Aviation - Doesn't have to be Campbells Tomato Soup - so no copyright infringement on Mr. Warhol LOL

Bug!..................lol...................that's funny. If you only knew me, you would know I would not put BUG on the list or anywhere near me...........I won't even draw one. I recently drew a Bee on a flower but it grossed me out to do it. I HATE BUGS!!!!! LOL

Why don't you make the list the next round? I wasn't so easy.

Here's a few, not very good but its getting late and I'm tired. (Sounds like a good excuse doesn't it?) LOL

painter I love the sketches .. this is one of my favorite threads ..i hope we continue with the list .. I know its kinda hard to come up with them .. but I need a volunteer to do a list for the next week ... anybody ?

If you don't have any offers Kim, I'll try to help out. When would you need it?

AND... I'll have to find time to attempt some of Joanie's items. I always think drawing from life is the best training for the eye... sometimes drawing from pictures makes us lazy.

Thank you Rose ....it will start the 10 but i will need the list by the 9th .. you can pm a list anytime between now and then .. thank you so much .

Here is my cousins door knob that I quickly sketched before I left this afternoon. My house has all antique glass knobs and for the life of me I cannot draw all the facets in them..

very good cyn....that looks like a cool doorknob ..mine are so basic .

Toothbrush and Glass of Ice

I know I hate bugs too. Especially centipedes! I have them all over my house. UGh! I had to draw one once. Even though it was out of a picture, it was gross. Bees freak me out too.

I like everybody's attempt at these. If I were to try to make a list, I would try to make a variety of items and difficulties.

Aviation - well, Kim is looking for someone to make up a list. Just PM her a list of 10 to 12 items and she'll post it for you. I really is hard to think of things that haven't already been used already.

Ugh, Centipedes! horrible creatures! My son has them now and then in his finished basement - that's why I never go down there when I go over to babysit. hahahaha

Aviation please if you like to make a list I will need one for the 16th thru 23 ...its open !
List can be hard to come up with .. things i have not seen yet ... are any kinds of tools .....not alot of clothing like jeans ..ummm ..funrniture .. things like that .. open a cupboard and look through it .. you will find alot of things .. and if we list some of the same things thats fine to .. not everyone had a chance to do all of them .

ahhh, so many options of things to draw between this thread, the forensic thread and the other weekly drawing challenge!!!! and worst of all I have too much work this week and not enough time to work on the drawings.

Painter... you would love the challenge Rose posted on the weekly drawing challenge. It's a nice juicy fat moth

Question - is it cheating if I make the glass holding the ice opaque so you can't see in it???

LOL - what's cheating? My opinion is all's fair - but the idea was to be able to draw ice cubes - so draw whatever you're comfortable with. Or challenge yourself and go outside your comfort zone. Just enjoy yourself - that's what its all about!
Yes, I saw that BUG - I'll have to speak to her about that - hehehehe - her name means butterfly in Italian and she likes to draw butterflies - so that was sort of like one....LOL I like butterflies but I wouldn't touch one! haha

Hope you free yourself up just a little so you can participate.

All excellent entries in this thread - I don't know how you all find the time to enter so many challenges and do so much drawing - it takes me ages just to do one! Sylvia

Good job I came into this thread! I've been so busy I forgot all about my promise to you Kim!! But I have already made out the list and will be PMing it to your shortly.


Very, very nice work everyone!!

Meantime here's my contribution - a set of local coins and a little transistor radio that only manages to capture anything if you hold the antenna to a metal doorframe!!! - oh well - it was just a free gift from the grocery store!

Rose i love your radio

here is my change in my change purse

Nice job everyone. They are all so good. I can never seem to find the time to do any of these...hopefully next time!
