Day 1: I'm crap at perspective but it's always good to practice. If you draw upside-down then it's easier to get the lines right and trick your right brain but it's probably good to get used to getting it right in real life so I keep practicing (and going nowhere!). This is a fireplace from a book on living rooms and the sword is from the chateau Montmorency near Paris, ummm apparently. I've never visited I just have the brochure because it looked like it would be fun to cut up and draw from.
Day 2: When I get bored I look at the Every Day Matters drawing list. I'm going to sprinkle some drawings from the list in to my journal from time to time although I have to admit that it kind of bugs a little part of me to be told what to draw, or I guess to resort to a list. So, these are my brown oxford ballerinas sketched over breakfast. Little S said "get your shoes off the table MOM!"
Day 3: Everyone in our house is sick with bronchitus so we have a lot of medicine in the little white cupboard in the hallway and on all the tables. There's also another EDM sketch on the page, the halogen track light in the basement kitchen.

Doliprane - heh! Your drawings look great.
It's the Doliprane season, unfortunately.
oh! Tell me about upside down drawing... you must have also read Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain! I was amazed how well my drawing of Stravinsky upside down came out!!! I like your shoe! Also the box perspective looked right to me! Nice that you can sketch things so quickly (over breakfast!) Once I start, I completely lose track of time.
I didn't know you sketched. Do you put them on your blog? Yes I have read all her books. I took a university class a looooong time ago based on her teaching method. It was wonderful and eye opening and I learned so much about seeing. It's a great trick isn't it.
I only put up a few things in two entries, but you'd have to scroll down to find them - one was when I began my classes in September - soooo enlightening, fulfilling, thrilling! and the other to show the two versions of a drawing. I psyche myself up continually thru contact with a combination of writers(one of them being Betty Edwards)/painters/local artists, who coach and inspire me. I just checked out your blog recommendation of Art Every Day. LOVE THE IDEA AND THE CONCEPT OF MAKING CREATIVITY A LIVING PART OF YOUR DAY-TO-DAY!! You, for sure, are doing that!
