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.

Oh! boy! you could see that coming! Sad about the bedding but the drawing is very good.

Great drawing! At least you didn’t drip on the paper…
Sorry to hear about your mess.
