sketching bed

Okay, posting this picture is requiring a little bravery- I don't like it and it's not at all professional or drawn well, but.....as I keep yelling at my inner critic, the point is to keep moving forward and trying more and more difficult subjects.  If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, right?!

Jim got me started on this Everyday Matters list and it's definitely been a challenge for me!  The perspective is definitely off and it's a platform bed with the platform extended too far (you can see the line where I should have stopped).  I would very much welcome any suggestions/comments/critiques about how to address my perspective issues.....

Think I'm going to try a different medium tomorrow :)

"EDM #5: Draw Your Bed"

Ok, this is the last of the first five I did two years ago.  Yes, it is my bed.  If you haven't figured it out yet, most of the people in the Everyday Matters Group are women....shoes, lamps, bags, beds. 

If us guys were doing this it would have been bolts, nuts, saws and jock straps...well, maybe not that last one. Anyway, there's plenty more to come where these come from and they're all just good practise anyway, so I'm not too worried about it.

I like to think that if I were to draw this again I wouldn't miss the perspective as badly on the bed as I did this on this one.

Hope you're enjoying these for a fraction as much as I am and remember, you can get the list of EDM Challenges at this link.
