EDM #7 - Draw a bottle, tin or jar from the kitchen

Of the many containers of spices, jars of jam, bottles of flavourings, and other items of foodie interest in the kitchen is a bottle of olive oil filled with cloves of garlic. It adds a nice taste to food as well as aroma in the kitchen after a meal has been cooked. It hasn't been used very much since I've been here so I decided to give it a little more attention. The scan's a bit wonky but it'll do for now.

A tree grows in the lobby

Part blind contour drawing, part my own elaboration of a tree planted in one of the buildings I work in. I'm thinking of giving illustrated journaling a try. One book I'm currently perusing is An Illustrated Life: drawing inspiration from the private sketchbooks of artists, illustrators and designers. There's a lot of great examples of how it can be done. It's nice when you're starting or considering something new to see what's possible, for me anyway.
