EDM #158


I didn't originally do this popcorn as an EDM challenge but just to make myself draw something before I went to bed that night. I get tired of not finding time to draw. I drew it with a regular pencil and went to bed. (It seems silly but I was too tired to even draw the third piece of popcorn I'd tossed on my table). In the morning I decided to add some color so I just went over the pencil with yellow and blue colored pencils.
I wasn't going to go out of order on the challenges but in this case and perhaps in a few others I will. No sense in being hog tied to a non-rule!

  7. It came out great. And you were tired? I couldn't draw that well if I had 10 cups of coffee. LOL!

  8. I've only looked at a few posts, but this is a great idea. I keep meaning to start regular drawing and sketching practise but, like you said on this post, it often gets pushed out. I have some terrific pencils, pastels, tinted charcoals and papers of all types and colours, but they just sit there waiting to be used. I must get this sorted! Thanks for the inspiration.=)

  10. You're funny, Freebird . . . non-rule.

  11. Thanks for your comment. No, I don't spin my own wool ... not that I'm ruling it out at some point! :) I would love to try dyeing yarn with Kool-Aid sometime ... and carving my own rubber stamps ... and making ATCs ... and so many other things I haven't managed to fit in yet!

    Your popcorn looks great, and the added colour works well! My own approach to the list of challenges is very haphazard indeed ... I think I would go insane taking the week's prompt as some sort of rule.

  12. This is a wonderful drawing! I can't believe you were so tired when you did this!

    I've enjoyed your blog! I know I'll be a frequent visitor after today.

    Thanks for the kind words you left me on my little blog. :-)

  13. I knew it was popcorn right away. I do this all the time. Start a drawing right before bed just to quit making excuses for not getting any drawings done. Well you need to keep up the great work. I have missed you!

  17. Very nice. The shadows make them pop off the page (pun intended). I have to force myself to start doing the challenges.
