So I've pretty much started this sketch the day before the actual test, since I've heard that part of the exam will be a sketch of still life.

But I'm posting this just for fun :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pnLbSSbl84U/Sf5-O_huxKI/AAAAAAAAAGs/dOrjd2V_e3c/s1600-h/DSC00393.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_pnLbSSbl84U/Sf5-O_huxKI/AAAAAAAAAGs/dOrjd2V_e3c/s320/DSC00393.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331837804889425058" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">a closer look...</span><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pnLbSSbl84U/Sf5-Ov40PcI/AAAAAAAAAGk/FTpViW8yXsI/s1600-h/DSC00391.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_pnLbSSbl84U/Sf5-Ov40PcI/AAAAAAAAAGk/FTpViW8yXsI/s320/DSC00391.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331837800691285442" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">the whole thing, plus my mechpen in a starring role. harhar.</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7092894576870031571-3823556052425632958?l=anyasommers.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Andiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00089216718081345252noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092894576870031571.post-66463490850086228112009-04-30T18:10:00.000-07:002009-04-30T18:19:18.959-07:00Got this as a Christmas gift from a work buddy.
