Hello, Kitten & Dawgs, This is DH’s off Friday and after he worked all last weekend then I probably won’t be around the cyberblock this weekend. Hopefully, we’re out enjoying the beautiful day but I promise to be back on my A-game Monday. Last year, I did pencil sketches for the first time in years (list of artwork posts) and this year I’m using my iPad in the challenge for my illustrations. Today’s alpha prompt is the letter ‘ L’ for a lone lamppost.
I drew a lamppost scene similar to this in my sketch pad last year toward the end of the challenge and I meant to share it, but never did. I figured it was time, so I included it even though it’s not an iPad creation. It’s very tricky (at least it is for me) to get close up details with the electronic pencil on a glass screen but I’m still learning how to manipulate it to do what I want. I like the details in my hand sketch better.
