After my little snit about my supposedly sucky drawing, I had another go at the phone. It’s such a lovely phone. It has so many sexy curves and such a satisfying heft to it when you pick up the receiver. I love the way the light hits it.
The more attention I give to it, the more I love it. I feel I can draw this phone a hundred times. Don’t worry though. I won’t post them all here.
Thanks for visiting and looking at my drawings. I hope you visit again soon!

I can totally relate to what you’re saying here, about appreciating the phone more and more by just studying it. I find this to be the real reward of the EDM challenges. They force me to slow down and really enjoy the artifacts around me.

So true Suzanne. I have been thinking a lot about attention and realizing that lately it’s only when I’m drawing something that I really pay close attention to the things around me.

Sarah, thanks for the lovely comment. I’ve had this phone for about ten years and I had been all but blind to it. I’m glad I drew it because now I’m in love with it again. I’m so glad that it shows in the drawing.

I agree with Sarah – this version is so substantial, and I love the subtle shadow under the cord. and btw – I have to tell you I am going to be a little sad when you’ve posted enough for that shoe to disappear off the page… I still LOVE that shoe…

I am a doodler … you’re way better than what I can ever produce. What wash did you use for this phone?

Yikes, I don’ t know if my comment did go through. Here it is again, but I cannot reproduce exactly. Itt went like this: I like your “clean” style. You don’t seem to hesitate in any line, curve or color. Great blog and will come back.
