Welcome to the hunt!!
If you’ve participated in at least one Scavenger Hunt and have time to host one we would really appreciate it. You can sign up by posting your name on the current hosting schedule in the Art From Life forum here:
https://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=366347Here are the rules for the hunt:
*All items on the list must be sketched from life – not imagination or photo reference.
*Each object you draw can count for only one item on the list, no matter how many shapes/parts/colors that object contains. This was agreed on by unanimous vote among the participants.
*You may place multiple objects together in a drawing or painting, and may count these objects as separate items, but no single object can count for more than one item.
*All items posted must be numbered. Count them as you go. The first item you post will be #1 regardless of its place on the list. Do them in whatever order you wish, but count them in the order in which you sketch them, from 1 to 26.
Do as many or as few of the items as you like. You don’t have to finish the entire list to participate. The Scavenger Hunt “week” will last for 9 days, with the next hunt starting on the 9th day.
Please tell us your size, surface, medium, and the amount of time it took you for each sketch. We love hearing about your subjects and setups. Photos of your subjects are welcome.
*** If you have some hunt sketches completed but little time to read/comment, please post your sketches anyways. Commenting is appreciated but not necessary.
This is almost the same as the last time I did this, which was Scavenger Hunt #40.

Instead of a mirror I put the iPad on a stand and tried drawing from screen vice a mirror. Did a great job of capturing camera distortion as you can see in the long chin. BUT I drew today!
1 self portrait- HB graphite clutch pencil. About a half page in 9×12 inch sketch book.

Submarine Warfare Insignia aka Dolphins are awarded to those who qualify in submarines. Submariners refer to submarines as boats. The insignia is starboard bow view of a diesel sub with a dolphin on either side. This is a sketch of a set of carved wooden Dolphins in my den.

Joe – good for you drawing using different tools than usual. Does your user icon sketch look more like you than this hunt’s contribution?
Scatty – what a fun shelf of items!!

Yes, thi icon is a graphite sp I did years ago. At that time I still wore glasses and had long hair. Now thanks to cataract surgery I only use readers and the hair has been short for many years. The icon sp is about 10 years old.

All Media Art Events, Artwork From Life, Art JournalsDecember 12, 2018 at 11:26 am #744549Great start everyone!
Joe, great to start with the self-portrait, looks good to me! And that’s a creative idea for a boat drawing, although I have to say they don’t look much like dolphins to me (I mean in the carving, no reflection on your drawing!).
Scatty, that’s quite a collection you’ve got there. Lovely sketch.
