Had lunch today with some friends and family, and was able to fit in a very quick sketch of this centerpiece. Â Should have used graphite rather than a prisma pencil, but hey, now I know better.

I like that this project will provide certain souvenirs of events throughout the year. Â Today’s was an important one: a get-together and memorial for Mr. Jack McKinney. Â Huge thanks to the McKinney family for opening their beautiful place for this special night. Â Mr. McKinney will be missed.

Nothing fancy — just more simple practice stuff. Â The idea here is to define a bunch of different forms using shadow rather than a perspective view. Â Some are a little off, but I think for the most part, the shapes come through. Â I’ll look for something more interesting tomorrow.

Sketched these in class tonight. Â Asked the instructor for any recommendations. Â He said, “Yeah, you went past the center line on this lamp shade. Â Unforgivable, dude. Â Look at this — this is impossible. Â You see? Â It doesn’t work. Â And this over here wouldn’t look like that. Â There would be more light right here. Â Good though.” Â I like this guy.

Was too busy tonight doing classwork to fit in anything else. Â So here’s the rest of the collection of random shape models. Â Inspiring stuff, eh? Â At least I’m getting a little more practice laying down marker ink.

My markers were getting away from me a little. Â This is part of another class assignment, practicing perspective and modeling with simple, invented shapes. Â I’m supposed to do several more of these (which is probably good, since I’m obviously kind of a noob with the Copic markers).

Just had a fantastic evening with family both immediate and extended. Â It seemed that a sketch of my glass of grappa would make a nice souvenir. Â And even better: one drawn on the back of my placecard, which itself featured papercraft decoration by my 3-year-old brother. Â Young Master Hulme and I now united — comrades in artistic expression — with the mighty firstborn in our sights.

…by which I mean the pruning of this tree, as well as the rushed and sloppy sketch of it. Â Then again, I suppose it’s “Sketch 365”, not “Masterpiece 365.”
I was super excited to find an old LEGO set I got as a present years and years and years ago. Â I don’t think the original instructions suggested this specific arrangement of parts, but after all, that’s what LEGO’s all about.

…but if there’s a way to do it, Ben Orchard would probably know.
