baby steps

A few days ago I went to a Mexican restaurant with Jeet and I wasn’t very hungry so I just picked off his plate and talked. At the end of the meal I took my sketchbook out and started sketching some of the objects on the table. It was super dark in this restaurant and I could barely see what I was drawing, so I think I did a pretty good job. The waitress was pushy and I was concerned that she would clear everything off the table before I was done, but I managed to get everything down by the time she left the check. I haven’t been doing very much sketching lately so I think this was good progress for me. I’ve been feeling that I’m losing practice and I can notice the difference in my speed and confidence. I left the restaurant feeling like I had done something even though the rest of the day wasn’t very productive.

    I love the way you have brought out the refractive effect of the straw going in the water. Great attention to detail!
