Reading Between The Lines
This is an attempt at a still life using ordinary graphite pencils. Rather that draw something like a bowl of fruit I decided that I wanted to draw something that told a story.
However, apparently it's about a girl who can't draw tissues - not quite what I had in mind! But there is something else not right about it that I can't put my finger on, which is why I have put it in my gallery - can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong? There is just something about it that I really don't like. Maybe it's the shading? I do like the glasses, and the shadow of them, and the pen, but I'm not convinced about the rest.
***Note from Kerry:
I don't know Sandra, all I know is .. I love it!! It does make a much more interesting still life than the normal fruit and such. I always enjoy your story, too, thank you.
