great as usual. loved the linen, you can really "feel" the fabric.

Thank you JB! That was what I was hoping to accomplish in the drawing. I wanted to study the different textures and the lemon and the linen. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Kate, I think these moleskine sketches are becoming my favorites. You have such an eye for what's in front of you and the amazing ability to make us all lean forward to look as closely as we can. I can almost see the threads in this Battenberg, and I definately feel the skin of the lemon. Wow.

It's like I can smell the lemon. Your textures are incredible. I know I keep saying that but omg, you are talented!

Thnx everyone. Joan, you are my biggest fan, and the reason I went back to my roots in the first place.

Outstanding detail work on both the linen and the lemon. Your pencil drawings are extremely well done. I feel like I can pick up the jade frog from off my monitor. Great work!
