Artober - first days

[wayfaringwordhack]

I have been sketching everyday, just letting whatever I see and feel like capturing be my model for the day.  Most things aren't worth sharing, but sharing is not the point.  Doing is, and I am happy to be doing and learning.  Every stroke teaches something.

Here is my latest sketch, from our trip to Lake Chouwen:







I got the bones in yesterday (with the wrong pencil.  Note to self:  Prefer a pencil with a wide lead/nib instead of a mechanical pencil) and tried to remember the shadows and dark values to put in today.  I could have done more, I see, but alas.  Not for today.
