This sketch is the eighty-third in a 365-day challenge to draw a picture a day, every day, for a year…
Day eighty-three: I’m repeatedly amazed at how enjoyable sketching can be even when I don’t think I have a drawing in me. Tonight I just starting scribbling, and that got the juices flowing. Then I started browsing snapshots, looking for a subject. The next thing I know, I’m scratching out the face of a mad cat, working the surface with black ink and the eraser until it looks like something. The snarling open mouth of this feline is based on an ancient Roman bronze water spout on display at the Naples archeological museum.
