Description Thought I'd submit some drawings, just to keep things going. I haven't been painting recently, the weather is too good, and I'm on vacation. Both of which could be taken as really good reasons to take my gear, to go outside and paint, but the threshold is high with oils, and there's always other stuff to do.

This one is a still life. It would have been much more exiting, had the thing been crawling and jumping around, but - alas - no.

Life without pillows would be hard.

Ehm i like it very much, i just don't know how i can tell you why...hmm it's wierd.
But the shading and they way you done it is great. I always liked to look at the cool curves and shadings pillows can make..ehm oh well.

dont ask me why i want to favorite this. Perhaps it is because it is SO totally a pillow. A pillow, usually a formless blob of cotton and stuffing, something simple we often overlook. Something with so much volume, folds, and ... comfort. And I know from personal experience - it is difficult to make a pillow look just like that.. a pillow. Sure, boring, but man, PILLOW!

Thanks a lot for the fav I wholeheartedly agree. Humanity would have a much harder time without pillows, and still they hardly ever get any recognition whatsoever.

A good piece of work, very full. A bit too big in full size, though. I like the background color, detail and shading. You've made the pillow dynamic by bending it like that.

Thanks Glad that you consider it dynamic, gotta try Pillows must be dynamic. Mainly this was just drawing practice.
