EDM Challenge #140: Draw an Envelope
During our year of London Travel, I filled 3 Cachet Linen spiral watercolor sketchbooks. I love having the envelope in the back of Moleskine notebooks and quickly realized that I needed to find and buy large envelopes to glue on the inside of the back cover of these sketchbooks. As we traveled around London, I collected a few postcards from Museum exhibits so I could have inspiration for future drawings. The postcard that I laid across this envelope, on the inner cover of London #2, is from the Royal Academy of Art Rodin exhibit.
Here is my sketch from the postcard. The writing on the page from January 7th says "sketched on a 747 somewhere between London and New York."

Hi Shirley, Thanks for your comment in my blog, I feel much more positive about my drawing now!That's a really good idea you have for collecting bits and pieces in your sketchbook.

Great drawings of both envelope and postcard. What a good idea too, about gluing an envelope to the sketchbook.

What an interesting envelope Shirley but I especially like the addition of the postcard-that is really a wonderful image.

As Lin said, Shirley, very expressive! I don't miss faces...very nice motion and feeling in these figures...

Nicely done. I like that idea of the envelope glued to the inside cover for postcards. I'm always picking up stuff like that for inspiration. Thanks for the idea!
