Sunday night we went to Denny’s (again) for a late-night dinner. I drew this while looking at the sugar holder (rather than while looking at the photo) but I almost always at least take a photo in case the subject disappears. I mean, you never know, right? One time M. and I were at a Chinese Buffet and he cracked open his fortune cookie and AS it hit the plate, a server came by and swooped the plate away SO FAST. He never even got to reach for the forture, let alone read it. So, I took a pic, because you never know when the server will come by and replace the sugar holder w/ one that is more full or something, thus changing the drawing subject.
Drawn in my moleskine. I hope/plan to go back and color it w/ colored pencil.

You’ve done a great job with this. That’s a difficult angle to draw it from, but it makes for an interesting composition which is very much in your style, I think. Keep drawing!

Thanks for the inspiration to do more sketching when I am out and about.
Lots of love from Susan in Australia

funny how “great” service is really a pain in the patootie! great job on the sugar holder and for being prepared for it to disappear!

You made me chuckle with your story of how stuff disappears. Nice drawing of the sugar holder…while it was still there…
