I think the glasses look pretty good, pretty realistic. But perhaps I should have done the lenses with some of the color showing through? At least they stand out from the background this way. I am loving working with type in my sketches. It makes me wonder if I should do some fiber pieces using type. With my graphic design background, it makes sense.
This is the kind of visual brainstorming I was hoping would take place by sketching regularly. It will be very interesting to see where this takes me this year, and how much the sketches affect my fiber art.

I love it! That's a great "sketch" and it's just like my favorite pair of purple glasses that I have. I'm to that point where I need bifocals but I haven't gone to the dr to go get them yet. But every time I try to read a label or something, I have to squint funny.
ReplyDeleteYour sketches are looking good. Understand about the readers. I'm right there with you sister!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, what a fabulous sketch! I thought it was a photo at first. And I hear ya about the glasses. I've been denying it for years but there comes a time when you just have to give in or quit reading!
ReplyDeleteI love the type on this one, especially. That's the first thing that jumped out at me -- I wouldn't be able to draw type that looks that good, even if I traced it! And the realism of the glasses . . . WOW!
ReplyDeleteGreat sketch. Great lettering. You need to make this one into a quilt!
ReplyDeleteI totally get it! I hate my glasses also but very necessary. It's so frustrating as I always had really good eyesight so it's really frustrating to depend on them. Now I need one pair for close up reading, needlework etc.. and then another pair that are bifocals for far way and watching the tv. So I always have to have both pairs at the ready and can't use trifocals or contacts:( But I do love my frames so at least I look good in them!

When I was wearing my contacts and then needed readers, I would keep a pair in every room in the house and my purse! The sketch is great and fun
ReplyDeleteThere is always so much fun in your works. I love it. That made my day.
