Day seventy-three of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
Hands up those who think this sketch looks like a jet pack?
My one regret for yesterday's sketch: I shouldn't have shaded more than the vertical spaces in the centre. I feel like the shading intended to create depth just took away from a drawing I was actually pretty happy with before that.
It was just as I was about to call it "finished" that I realised I'd missed off the button on the right. I drew that in, then felt I should shade to the left of the curve on the button section. So then I added more shading elsewhere.
In retrospect, I should have shaded nothing. Nothing!
Oh well.
I drew the original sketch with a 4H pencil then kept it simple with just an HB pencil used at different weights.
Oh, and it's an aerial view of a personal fan bought a couple of summers ago.
Even if you sweat like a mo' fo' in summer (as I do), I do not recommend if you have long (or even longish) hair. They will catch your hair even if you think you're holding it far enough away.
Painful and embarrassing and inconvenient. Only occasionally amusing. Would not buy again.
