keys
Everyday Matters Challenge #37 is draw your keys or keychain. Yesterday I managed to make these sketches between classes. The keys themselves are very perfunctory—I concentrated on the keychain because it was more interesting to me. I got this monogrammed leather pouch keychain in Florence when I was 16—also the year I started drinving. This keychain has a lot of sentimental value and I would be very upset if I ever lost it.
I did this first sketch in the morning before my Spanish class:
Afterwards I went to the library and started sketching instead of studying. I didn’t do as well on this sketch as I would have liked:
Then I moved to a more comfortable chair and sketched my keychain again. I draped it over the arm of a chair so only the keychain shows:

Hello Carolyn,
Your drawing of the keys very nice. The textures are well rendered. I like especially the shades and the greys.
You have less details in your drawing than in mine. But I find that your drawing has more style and more power.
For my drawing, I use a simple Artline pen:

The texture and shine on the leather is wonderful! Super job!
Thanx for the compliment Laurent! No one has ever called my drawing “powerful” before. I will be sure to check out the pen.
Nita, I tried to make the leather look shiny. I’m glad this effect came through.
These are fantastic—I can’t believe you did it in simple ballpoint pen!
Ballpoint is very easy to blend. When I’m at school it’s the easiest option. Try it sometime!
