Day 7 EDM. The third challenge:- to draw your wallet, purse, or handbag. I can carry everything in my handbag that I need to survive, sometimes it is packed to the gunnels with just - stuff. My wallet has been with me for ages and it also carries such a lot, reduced lists (phone, email, addresses, sizes, shapes and colours, so small you need a magnifying glass (which is in the handbag of course). What I see and put down is not what I know is there! For example the strap on the purse is not offset - it's in the middle, the far side should be even shorter than the near, but I am so busy watching the outline I miss myself starting to wander.

These re reallu good sketches! I especially like the perspective of looking down into the coin purse. That's a difficult position and you handled it beautifully!

Thank you for the comment on the coin purse. Yes, I struggled with the perspective, especially the coins. Maybe by doing sketches more often I will learn. Are you enjoying doing the list of EDM?

Your drawings are great! The lines and textures are very well done!

Thanks for the positive comment Kazumiwannabe, I think this is way too loose a drawing because I didn't know how to handle it. A real challenge.
