Graphite drawing of a dinner napkin for the Everyday Matters Weekly Challenge. It is so relaxing to work in pencil; studying watercolor has become a lot of work...
I like to think you THREW this napkin down during a passionate philosophical debate with your husband over poached pears and red wine sauce---pushing your chair away, you caused the candlewax to pour from the silver bobeche onto the polished mahogany of the dining room table. He said, "my darling, wait--hear me out!" as you flounced away, your taffeta skirt rustling in the tense silence. See how evocative a beautiful drawing can be? ;D
Thanks to you all for the nice comments! Laura, you crack me up! Of course I wasn't wearing a taffeta skirt, but silk pants, which whisper rather than rustle ...
Linda - so lovely. Laura's comment is so funny but the ironed linen napkins do evoke a kind of life (unlike the pieces of paper kitchen towel that seem to be all we can manage in our house!)

Well done Linda. I think your shading is superbly done. This looks great.
Nicely don. I can almost feel the textures you rendered there...

That is a really nice drawing! I think you did a great job on the shading and getting the texture of the cloth.

I really enjoyed seeing all the detail when I clicked and enlarged the picture. Nice shading!
The shading is great and the little holes bring it to life! Makes me wonder what the meal was like!
WOW! That's about the best word I can say.. simply.. WOW!
Great drawing! I like the shading and texture. It's wonderful!
Linda, I'm crazy about this drawing. I love how you can see the drawn thread work wind its way around the napkin. You inspire me!

Really nice folds!

Gorgeous!
Nice work! You help me realize that I have been letting my drawing skill lapse. I really like what you have done over a multitude of entries.
Hello
Thanks for the comment. Nice to see a new post.

Laura's been reading too many romance novels. But she's right, great drawing. :-)
Wow, beautiful folds!
This is nice and has great 3 dimensionality. I could have sworn I left a comment before. I must have been rushing and missed it.
Thank you so much for your kind words!
very nice drawing and the little stitches in the fabric are great. You really get a feeling of folds.
