Pepper Struggle

Sketches of plastic veggies

Been struggling trying to keep interested in these plastic pumpkins and peppers. I've rediscovered my hands and the occasional toy car to draw.  I'm trying to navigate my way around.
Sometimes it isn't enough. The time change isn't really helping nor is the chronic pain.

I've found sometimes drawing is a brief escape as is reading. However, I will not draw with my graphite pencils, instead I've been drawing sometimes with regular 2 HB writing pencils...gasp!

Oh those crazy odd shaped veggies.....

The drawing saga continues....

Pencil Peppers and then some...

I haven't been drawing my plastic vegetables as much, which I have to get back to.  Drawing I find, keeps me somewhat distracted from my chronic pain issues. I've always liked drawing pumpkins, especially the slanted ones and my small collection of action figure robots. I'll have to return to these in order to keep myself entertained.

Robots and Charcoal, Part I

Drawing plastic fruits and vegetables can get boring. I've been neglecting the pumpkin drawing I was working on in favor of animation instead.  

Recently, I've discovered drawing in charcoal pencil and have found a subject much more interesting to draw than food. 

I have a collection of small zbots action figures from the 1990's which I collected in elementary school. To my surprise, I really enjoyed drawing these little guys. I've always been a fan of science fiction and fantasy for decades and relived parts of my childhood when I pulled these out of my closet. These are way better than drawing flowers too.
