#1 zig-zag … nature way of zig-zag …. done with kido’s poster colors/gouache, about 9×12 inch and took me roughly 40 minutes total time
Sorry all. I totally missed the last hunt. Was trying to fix my computer, finally gave up and bought a new one. So now fiddling trying to learn to use a Mac. Yes, took the plunge and replaced the PC laptop with a MacBook.
Now learning a new OS.Triss – Nice job on the turbines. Can almost feel the wind. Love the colors in the ‘roofline’ drawing.
Ai – beautiful bird of paradise
Some running around to do today so taking iPad in case I can sketch while Sharon is in appointments.
Keep sketching

Triss – I started in computers with machine code on 8080 chips and cpm os, migrated to DOS, MS-DOS, WINDOWS, and on. Apple equipment was always better but pricey. Figuring this is my last computer and will interface better with my iPad and iPhone. Will take awhile to undo some habits but am loving the performance.
#1 sub for airplane – 777 lapel pin received in goody bag from United. I happened to get booked on the first 777 transatlantic flight. We were returning to Va from London. Most of passengers were executives from United, GE and Pratt & Whitney. It was an experience starting with cocktails and appetizers served in the waiting area. During the flight all the drinks and food was free even in economy.
#2 highway sign – drawn on iPad in ‘mobile studio’ in 95 degree heat. Definitely not my finest. Was sitting in parking lot while my bride was in getting a mammogram. Due to the virus noone but patients wearing masks were allowed inside.
neither is great but 1st step in getting back to drawing daily
Keep sketching

Triss, love the propellers. Lots of movement in your sketches. Standing on tip-toe, going out in the rain – you’re really up to whatever it takes to get the sketch, aren’t you? That’s great. (Also, it’s not me. Not my style at all. Lazy sketcher here.)
EP, hello.
Ai, beautiful birds of paradise. Amazing that you could match the colors so well. Great details.
Jim, would love to hear about how it goes as you progress. I had an Apple II back in the day, and in college (1988-early 90s), I used Macs, but I’ve been resisting leaving the PC world. I haven’t done it yet, but it may be the Apple Pencil that ultimately moves me away from PC/Android. But I am a tinkerer, and I am resisting. . . . Good sub for airplane. How fun to get caught up in the celebration of the special flight! Mobile studio isn’t fun when it’s that hot, but the signs look cool
Jo, LOL at airline story.
Joan, the eggs stand out well from the white plate with your shadows. Well done.
I’m going to share too many pictures for two sketches, but let me explain
#1 substitute for airplane. i realized as I was drawing that I had drawn the flying doghouse before for a previous scavenger hunt. So here you go, 2020 and 2011. (Both in the same darned sketchbook that has infinite pages and I never seem to be able to finish, 6×6 inches.)(I’m close to finishing. Finally.)
#2 body part – thumb (also in 6×6 inch sketchbook)
C&C welcome.
