Sunrise cactus - ink




I should have posted this one first, but forgot about it. I painted the w/c (below) afterwards. Back on the couch last night watching American Idol, feeling like my head was made of cotton wool - I added to what I considered was a finished drawing, more intense fine lines. I think it has improved the drawing - given it more contrast between light and dark. And when one can't think straight, drawing parallel fine lines is very therapeutic!

Yes, therapeutic and soothing - this is a fine B&W drawing - it reminds me of a hermit crab climbing out of it's shell. Good work!

I love it too.
Perhaps a cold is nature's way of telling you to sit still and draw!!
There is a lovely quiet observance and concentration which has really paid off. XX Feel better soon!
