Everyday Matters Challenge #37
On the train home Friday night and after the miraculous flying bike, I wanted to draw something else. Hmmm… think…Oh yeah, the keys. Then I set up a small temporary ’studio’ on the train, right where I sat. I had loose drawing paper scattered all over the small table (see the bike I drew previously?); the cheap drawing pad that I had with me decided that it had enough of my rough handling. I set my keys on the table and started drawing. Poor fellow passenger, who sat in front of me. I totally monopolized the table, that there was no space for him to put anything on it. The train journey was just long enough to complete the sketch (only in ink). I added some shadows afterward from memory, and I made sure that I was more awake this time. Just before scanning, I added a bit of wash and color. I used a fountain pen with soluble ink and a red colored pencil for this drawing.

I really like your ink work… I hope I can do half as well in my efforts without sketching in pencil first. The wash and color add just the right touch.
Evy, I like the freedom you express in your sketches..just put the keys over the bike. And it turned out great.
Wonderful and amazing, as usual, Evy! I thought of you as I drew on the train recently.
I think your “studio” is quiet wonderful! I love the drawing of the drawing as well as the drawing. I also read the post below about the bicycle. You are so honest about the mistakes! I drew my medicine chest and did not realise until I finihsed that the back inside verticel lines were all crooked! I had to completly re draw them! I do like the bike drawing very much.
Thank you all for your kind comments!
you have such an eye!!! I love your sketches! with the touch of red… perfect!
I guess the other passenger must have enjoyed seeing you draw, didn’t he?

Hi pajara pinta! Thanks for your kind comment. Well, I actually didn’t really pay attention to the other passenger at all
So I didn’t notice his reaction.
