EDM # 306 is Draw a snack. It’s hard to finish a sketch when you want to eat the subject. The little winged thing is a pecan. Here in the south that is puh-CON, and never ever ever PEE-can. There was one on the snack bar packaging and it flew right onto my sketch.
I’m planning to participate in The Sketchbook Project 2012 but I have to choose a theme before I sign up and I’m having trouble deciding. Have you signed up for this year, or done it in the past? I think I”ve narrowed the themes down to Time Travel, Encyclopedia of, or The Grey Side of Life. Or maybe I should play it safe and go with A path through the trees.

I love your sketch! An i, too, want to paticipate in the Sketchbook Project. So glad I can get to now you through Sunday Sketches. Thank for the sweet comment on my blog!! Blessings!
wonderful sketch. I’m not doing the sketchbook project but I think your themes could work. I like ‘time travel’ – it has a lot of possibilities and could even be taking literally.
thanks for your visit. have a lovely day.
Yummmm you make me hungrey! I love your prior posts too. Your Robots are so cute and clever and your helping hands are so beautiful. You are so talented!
Delicious sketch, I love the flying pecan!
I’ve been thinking about joining the sketchbook project too. I can understand your problem of choosing the theme. I was so overwhelmed with that long list that I didn’t even bother to read them all. I would be happy with no options at all, sometimes constraints feed creativity.
This illustration looks good enough to eat. Seriously though–your candy bar looks real!
this is good. It is making my tummy rumble 🙂
wonderful sketch! I signed up last year to the sketchbook project and then couldn’t find my sketchbook when the sending deadline came along and then I found it after! Might sign up again this year. Thanks for the link 🙂

Looks really yum,I would’ve eaten it!
I did the sketchbook project last year. Try and imagine what you would do for your chosen title, it takes quite a while to fill and can get difficult thinking of new pages. I had to ask for suggestions on EDM!
Yum to your sketch. For me, I would not choose The Grey Side of Life. Just the title would depress me. Of course, someone will come up with a beautiful journal. Good luck.
I was thinking with The Grey Side of Life, I could do things that were gray in color with maybe just a pop of color, rather than gray as in gloomy. I don’t like gloomy. But now I think I will go with Encyclopedia of.
Lovely sketch! I really like the one below too..Helping Hand for Japan =) It’s very thoughtful
I can see why you’d have difficulty finishing the sketch before eating your snack! Nicely done.
I recently signed up for the Sketchbook Project for the first time. I chose Monochromatic as the theme because it seemed the most wide open.
I think time travel sounds like an interesting one (and now, of course, I’m sort of wishing I’d chosen that one!). Encyclopedia of could be interesting too – if you choose to do it as encyclopedia of yourself or your town or your state or whatever the possibilities are pretty much endless, and I think it would be a fun one to page through.
Good luck!
Hey there – I didn’t know you started a blog! It’s absolutely wonderful! Lots of exclamation points! And I knew that was a puh-CON. 🙂
You are an incredibly talented sketcher. This is an area of art I have yet to explore. Your participation in this sketchbook challenge is stimulating my imagination. Hmmm …
P.S. FYI – on my screen, I can’t see the email addy box.
Thanks! I just started it last month so it’s still shiny and new, LOL. There should be a contact link at the top of my site, just under the search bar. Does that show for you? It should bring up a page with a contact form.
Some people do collage and mixed media work for the sketchbook project, too. You should do it!
Wow, this is so well done adn yes very edible indeed. 🙂
Yes, I do see it. I’ll follow up. I’m going to check out the Sketchbook project and see what I feel like doing. I’ve definitely been exploring mixed media lately. Your sketching talents leave me a little intimidated! But it might be good for me to stretch in that area. I’ll see. 🙂
