Anita, these sketches are more like proper drawings! You've done a wonderful job on all of them, too. My favourite two have to be the armchair and the bowl of lemons. Your sense of composition and your values are really fantastic! That's something I still need to work on, my values. I'm still a bit timid of my darks...
Thank you Bonny! As to those darks - when you think you've gone dark enough - go a shade darker!
I LOVE that first sketch, the composition, the repeated circular forms, and the obvious skill you have in drawing - well done!
Love the last sketch..good feel to it.\
