Nice to see you all so busy!
A couple of very nice submissions from JMcG; starting with this well observed and drawn painting of the Peppermint Gum. Attention to detail is quite good, especially the joints where the stems meet and form 'elbows' and nubs. JMcG did this using Inktense pencils which can be tricky to use if you are not familiar with them, but she has handled them well and the color is rich and intense.

JMcG's second work is that of her souvenir pottery doll she got while in Japan. I like the descriptive wording that tells us all about the item. And the inclusion of the torii (gate) is a nice added extra. The torii is the gate to a Shinto shrine relates well to the wedding doll. A good drawing in the linear style with nice attention to the details of the features and design on the piece.

JH has chosen to draw one of the first souvenirs she ever bought on her very first overseas trip
- to New Zealand - a big adventure that started a lifelong passion for travel. JH was concerned that the feet don't look anatomically correct, but this is a plush toy and I don't think they were too concerned about anotomical correctness when they produced it. lol. Drawn with graphite H, HB, 2B and F on 300gsm hot press paper this is an excellent work demonstrating JH's technique and continued improvement in drawing fur/feather textures. He is very sweet.
