Looking out
All that art and I take photos of windows? Yes, as photographing the art is usually prohibited.
Happy Cat
When I first uploaded the photos to my computer, I saw that my sketch was a Happy Cat, with quite the upturned mouth. I adjusted it some, but it’s still off. I tried to use shading a bit, with a blending stump. Shading helps with making a sketch look more dimensional and won’t it be a good thing when I learn how do to this?
Jaguar letter opener
I didn’t sketch the whole letter opener, as I’m working on a small sketch pad. The face would have been lost at that size.

Sandals by Salvatore Ferragamo at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I would have guessed they were from the 1960s, but no! 1938! Signore Ferragamo was ahead of his time. Or were the 60s a flashback?
Using an H pencil. I have no idea what I’m doing
