Day 5: 5 5-minute sgraffito sketches (fingers, business card)

I did seven 5-minute sketches today to make up for only four yesterday.  Five minutes goes by so fast!  But, I'm going to keep doing these till I loosen up.  I want to be able to do trees well, but also want to be able to do nature scenes as well as buildings (I have plans...!), so I think a variety of practice subjects is good.  Still trying to get too much detail.  Have to do less powder, more suggestion. 
 
Still looking very elementary...
 
They look good when you're building them, but they don't look so good when you see the photos.

Not enough time to develop the stump.

 Yep, looks like a dog...
 
but not like the dog in the picture!  Still, passable.

Ugh!  Still doesn't convey any feeling.

Got stuck on the shed, ran out of time. I like the fence though! :)

Well, who doesn't like bunnies?

Ok, this was much more than 5 minutes and the sketch doesn't capture Sterling the dog well, but I think I managed to get a little depth into it.


He looks a little sad... maybe 'cause he's going back in the jar!
