Naarmamo day 2 the real thing.

[linda_joyce]

I am with out a scanner, I spent a few days last week checking the Newport
shops for one. Apparently they are not available as a separate entity theses days, you have to buy a printer with built in scanner, photocopier and fax. Since all I want is a scanner, my printer being almost new I refused so you will have to put up with my entries being photographed.
First a few scribbles.


Then the real thing.

I rather like the asymmetrical framing effect of the black and brown around the still life drawing. :^)

Have you looked for a scanner on line? Maybe Amazon?

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Now that is something I hadn't thought of, Amazon here I come.

That's a nice still-life. The swirls around it make it seem as if it's very windy

My attempt to show a patterned wall paper behind the vase without having to draw the pattern. Thank you, I am reasonably pleased with it myself.

Love that bear - he has such character - bad tempered and gnarly lol!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

The picture I was copying from shows him getting up to threaten a rival so bad tempered is the word for him.

I love the bear too.
If you have no luck on Amazon then it may be worthwhile checking your local freecycle groups.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Amazon has dozens of them starting at £37 pounds so I will have no trouble getting one but it will probably not arrive until the last week of Naarmamo. The bear is just a scribble to loosen up but I think he is nicer than my still life.

Well done on your artworks. And on rising to the Naarmamo challenge.

Good luck with the scanner - hubby says they still make flat-bed scanners so hopefully you'll find one.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

There are dozens on Amazon so I should have a new one in time for next year. Your photographs would be welcome you know, you do some ver artistic ones. The problem is the rule they have to be done on the day of posting.

[inyadreems.livejournal.com]

That rules me out for at least the next week. My camera still is at the shop being serviced. It should have been ready yesterday (after nearly two weeks) but they had a sob story about someone's wife being ill... Grrrr. I'm getting very twitchy without it!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Oh that is a pity, you could play catch up and post 2 every day until the figures are even.

Like the still life. Very nice :o)

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

Neat still life--flowers are my favorite thing to draw.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

I am a botanist by training and my flowers tend to look like diagrams not flowers so I am planing to do a few more flowers this year to get out of the habit.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Cute bear! I know he's not from life though; is the vase of flowers?

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Yes, The roses are artificial and long past their get rid of date but I wanted to try and get a round shape on the vase. I think I succeeded there.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You did!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Thank you.

[pebblerocker]

I'm impressed with the still life!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Thank you, so am I ,vilakins just confirmed my impression that I had managed to make thr vase look round, something I have not managed to do before

[arenee1999]

The bears are cute. :)

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

They are supposed to be fierce but I'll settle for them being recognised as bears. %P They were just a scribble to loosen me up as a book I am reading on sketching recommends.

[nautile26.livejournal.com]

That bear is so cute. He might almost be winking. ;)

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

You're right I hadn't noticed that. That is one of my problems in sketching animals and people, I can never get their eyes to match. The wink is a happenstance but a nice one.

[lolabobs.livejournal.com]

The bear seems very ferociously interested n goings on!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Something has certainly caught his eye, probably the photographer who will be lunch soon.
