Fuzzy yarn


I've been knitting.

Pencil on drawing paper. It's floating, but I'm letting it be. Back to the needles.

WOWOW!! What a gloriously, phenomenally detailed sketch!! GORGEOUSLy rendered! It looks fuzzy and each strand is so well done!! A LOT of care and patience went into doing this -- and it shows! BELLA!

Really nice, Nita, it looks almost photographic.

Teri said...

Aw, come on Nita...that's a photo, right? WOW, this awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!

Terri said...

My goodness, so much detail!! Well done Nita! I thought you'd scanned the actual ball of wool at first. :o)

Wow, that is a lot of detail! It looks soft and fluffy - will you show us what you make from it? Love the chair too (those two colours together are so nice). I don't like standing either, I find it hard to hold my arm out at that angle. And I never stand when I can sit!

Shelly McC said...

Wow, great job on the wool. I, too would love to see what you make from it!!

Linda said...

Really nicely done -- it is beautifully rendered. I believe you are allowed to go knit now! :-)

Nita this is great and I love that it is floating on the page with the small thread at the bottom holding it up! Reminds me of Max Ernst

Exquisite drawing of yarn. You have captured the tactile beauty of yarn as it awaits transformation. Great.

Excellent drawing and I definitely like the "letting it be" part...reminds me of a Beatle's song..:)

this sketch is fascinating to look at. the texture looks so real - great job!

Cin said...

wow, until I fully read your post I thought this was a skein of yarn you'd scanned directly on your scanner! amazing , how long did it take to draw this?

Julie Oakley said...

This is an amazing drawing - you must have taken ages to do this
