Drawing Challenge, Day 29
Today's challenge was to draw something from a distance, where you put the subject shape within an imaginary square or rectangle and then draw the negative shapes that happen because of it. I've always struggled with boat drawings, so I decided to draw Kathie George's reference, but I can honestly say that it was hard for me to see the detail in her photo, so I left it pretty plain. What I do like is that my boat honestly looks like it is floating, unlike most of my other boat paintings where the boats look like they should have legs. They never did appear to be floating. So, I like this drawing for that reason and no other!
I like the boat drawing A LOT!! Something about it draws me in.
