What is there to do on a grey wet afternoon except draw? Realising that I’d cheated on the egg box challenge (not reading it properly!) I thought I should challenge myself to draw the box open rather than closed. I have enormous respect for anyone who has attempted this challenge in paint. It is hard enough in pencil.
I’ve also drawn a previous challenge – our local store. We are lucky enough to have a local Co-op in the village, and it does a great job of stocking most things that we may need.
CAROL! MY GRACIOUS! That egg carton is FANTABULOUS! Shading lines edges — all beautiful!! BE PROUD OF THIS!! IT’s AWESOME!
I love your store too! But the depth you achieved with that carton … WOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! This is incredible. I think the egg box is harder in pencil and I really admire your patience?
Hey, as soon as I saw these I realised that I was on a British blog! The Late Shop is very familiar – we have one just like that down the road from us. The egg cartons are really well done. Delicate and subtle, look forward to seeing more of your work.
Thank you for drawing this. It looks very nice. I like it’s purity and placement on the page.
These are both utterly charming. Does look like you ate your eggs!
Wow is right! I love both drawings. The values in the egg carton came out great! I also love all your hatching and cross hatching marks in the shop drawing. Well done!
It’s seeing someone pull off just this kind of personal challenge that makes me inspired. 🙂 Another great job!
Cheers!

Thank you all!
Wow! Very good drawing!
This egg box is simply stunning. Such a quiet picture but it speaks volumes. Well done.
