Satu's Challenge by Fiona Phipps

Nice touch getting the additional hole in the role (hey, that rhymes) Fiona. (-:

Well responded Fiona i thought it was a toilet roll

Lovely shading Fiona,

See, it's always worth trying things out and you were wrong when you said that the outcome might not be good. This is very good! You've done well with the shadows and that's good shading..all in the right places as your light was from the left side. I know this because that's where my light was :) It's interesting to compare them all once you've actually tried out the composition yourself isn't it? I can appreciate how tricky it is and just how well you've done here!

Lol...you're a poet Jim! Well spotted Dennis, it's a little on the small side for a kitchen roll but you see I started off with a plastic tumbler in it's place, then realised when I had drawn the outline that there would be no shading...der! So put the kitchen roll there instead. lol Thanks David, have you had a go yet? Yes it's always worth having a go, and like you Louise, I can't resist a challenge...lol It hasn't turned out too bad apart from the obvious, and it's all practice! Thanks all.

Great shading in this Fiona.

Thank you very much Margaret.

Pleased you have had a go at this as well. Nice result and glad to see those eclipses were a problem to all f us. Though I think you made them hard for yourself by looking down.

Lovely interesting shading, looks classy against the white background Fiona. Yes it was difficult, ( thanks Satu!). I posted my effort this a.m. :)

Sylvia I always have a problem with ellipses....lol I actually enjoyed it! Thank you. Many thanks Carole, no not an easy one from Satu this time. I'm off to see yours, it will be perfect.

Better than what I could do just now, so I shall not compete!

You would do this in a breeze Gudrun.
