Happy Thanksgiving, and graphite after work sketch

graphite

After work sketch, 11-25-08; 6B pencil in 9×12 sketchbook

This Thanksgiving I am thankful for my family who sticks up for me. That I don’t have as many negative influences in my life as last year. And for my hands—that I can use them however I want without pain.

A note on the sketch: I got the idea to draw this while doing the laundry one day. I tried to capture the satiny feeling here. It was fun, and good practice.

    What a great job! It does indeed look silky-satiny.
