Sketch 365 – by Scott Hulme

This is one of my wife’s skates that she occasionally teaches history in.  Yep.

I went with it since I haven’t got much mileage out of my red Copic markers yet.  Must find more objects that are Salmon Red, Lipstick Orange, and Cadmium Red.  If you think of any, be sure to let me know.

As I was roughing in the early marks of this very quick sketch, the main lines got a little long.  So now it’s some kind of super-deadly flying x-acto knife.  Then again, I seem to do a lot of object sketches, which aren’t all that dynamic — so maybe this is a happy accident.  Until someone puts their eye out.

One more day to spend in Sydney with my grandmother and family.  This is one of the many flowers now gracing her living room.  In fact, it’s just below the spot where we framed and mounted the remarkable portrait recently drawn by Bruce Hedges.  Thanks again, Bruce — for your amazing work, and for your encouragement in this venture of mine.

Once again, the Sketch 365 project provides an valuable record of what’s going on in my life throughout the year.  Today, I attended my grandfather’s funeral in Sydney, and wore this watch of his, given to me by my grandmother.

At my grandmother’s in Sydney, I was admiring this fantastically comfortable wooden chair (which I’m told is designed for playing bridge).  The seat back pivots on two dowels, and is 100% awesome and super-comfortable.  I was told I could eventually have it, but in the interest of not stuffing furniture in the overhead compartment, I figured I’d do some orthographic sketches so maybe I can build one some day.

POST-SCRIPT FROM THE NETHER-REACHES OF TIME AND SPACE:  Keen readers will note no sketch for May 3rd due to an overnight date line crossing.  Fear not, sketch fans, for I will experience May 7th — and sketch it — not once, not thrice, but twice!

Well, not really.  Regular scissors, but drawn with my left hand.  Apparently non-dominant-hand drawing is a good brain exercise, because it allows you to turn off parts of your brain that can constrain you when drawing normally.

This is another tribute to Mr. Administrative-Captial-of-Bolivia, from Sketch #47.  He’s always using his left hand, like a weirdo.

…as my 92-year-old grandfather-in-law like to say whenever he’s about to vigorously shake hands with you.  He, as you might have guessed, is awesome.

I wish the sketch were a little better, but it’s been a long day, so I made it quick.  Anyway, this is a little tip of the cap to Ben and Sean, whose Photo 365 projects helped inspire my own sketch version.  Be sure to check out their great stuff — links over on the right.
