Sketch Challenge


I joined yet another Yahoo Group....but this one is a sketching group that sends up challenges each week. This one is from last week, I do believe: to draw a doorknob in your house. This is from the door in the kitchen that leads to the basement. I'm glad I joined this group, I need to be pushed into sketching again. (This sketch tells you how rusty I am...ugh)

Plus is gives me a reason to use this blog I set up! Which of course shined the light on how archaic my poor Mac system is in my studio. My browser is so old it doesn't show the upload pictures option in Blogger. My OS is so old that it won't support a browser that would take advantage of Blogger's tools. My machine is so old (please!) that it won't support the newer OSs. Yep, technology sure makes our lives easier.

I had to email my scan to the machine in the kitchen (a "thrown away" Windows system from my brother in law!) and then create this post on that machine. What a pain. One day soon I'll upgrade what's in the studio. Just not today.
