My Foot!
Finally! I drew my foot last night for Everyday Matters Weekly Challenge (#23). Something terrible happened though…
I did this sketch while I was half laying in bed. I used dip pen and Bruynzeel waterproof ink. I put the ink bottle on my night stand and kept dipping in the pen whenever it ran out of ink. But you can guess already what happened. I was so focused on the drawing and getting more ink, that I was oblivious that the ink dripped on my bed sheet. Right after I finished, I turned around and put back the cap of the ink bottle, then I saw it….Sh#@! I thought. Big blob of black ink on my bed and of course it went through the bed sheet. And another one on the floor…and another one on the nightstand. Grrghhhh!!!! I should have been more careful! I just hope now that it will go away when I put some Bio-Tech on it and then wash it. Never had a waterproof ink drop anywhere. So one plus point: at least a new experience….
Note: Proportion-wise, the foot is just a tad shorter than the real version.

A dip pen in bed! That is more daring than I could be. I would end up with the whole bottle tipped over. Nevertheless your foot turned out great!

I love a drawing with a story
And the foot turned out great (sounds like you’re willing to give any sacrifice for art!)

Nice drawing, I love the idea of using a dip pen, sounds like fun! Even in bed!

Wellll, Evy, in spite of your drips I would say your foot looks just fine. Aren’t you glad you didn’t notice them till you were done? Otherwise you might never have finished. Fine job!

Great drawing Evy! I particularly like the way you’ve drawn the folds of your linen around your foot. Makes it look nice and comfy.

The thought “it wont spill” or drip, or i just have this little bit to do..
All those are code for ruined pants, sheets, shirt, table.
