Sketch A Day 2011: pan

The purpose of a sketch a day is just to do it - sketch! It doesn't matter if it is an involved sketch or if it is a simple contour or gesture drawing. There are no rules except to sketch each day.

Life parameters can dictate the time investment, but a sketch a day commitment is designed to elevate the personal priority of sketching ... to enforce sketching. Making it into a "resolution" validates the activity (invests it with a bit of a challenge even!) and defends against competing demands. The sketch a day is designed for practice - to reinforce basic skills, and to provide daily contemplation on the issues of two dimensional representation.

Several of us are doing a sketch a day, and I would enjoy hearing from anyone else who decides to join in. We share our efforts, support each other, keep each other honest and... hopefully we'll have some fun doing this!

This statue of Pan sits - of course - on one of my stereo speakers.

Here's a stack of pans on the stove; two iron skillets so tightly nested they practically merge, a steel pan, a colander, another steel pan that barely sits in the mouth of the colander, and in front is a mere indication of the water pot already sketched (March 3rd).

Here's a cast iron frying pan full of popcorn. One of my weakest weaknesses in drawing is producing a truly round round. Here, my pan bulges to the upper left of the handle, which is set a hair to the side from where it should be set. There are probably other problems but that's what I see right off... I will continue to try to improve on cylinders over the year since they are a challenge to me for some reason...
