It’s all a matter of perspective.

Looking Out
Jaguar Letter Opener, Sketch 004
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?
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.
