sketches

This sketch is the fifty-third in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…

Day fifty-three: Sometimes simple is just as satisfying. Not a lot of time today, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to draw. Sat down to sketch and suddenly thought “white on black.” Then I spontaneously drew the scrumptious looking cupcake with thick swirls of frosting that I saw at lunch. I didn’t eat it, but I guess it stayed on my mind. The fun part of this sketch, aside from imagining delicious cake, was using only the simplest lines to form the shapes. I don’t usually focus so intensely on line, but somehow that’s what the white pencil on black paper needed. More than I needed that cupcake!
