Welcome to the July 2008 Virtual Sketch Date!
The reference for this sketch date is above. It was kindly provided by Leslie Hawes. You can visit Leslie's blog here. If you've never joined in or were curious about what this is, please see the guidelines below. This is just a bit of fun for some online artist friends.
How It Works
- You need to comment on this post to be included.
- You have until Saturday July 26th to complete your drawing.
- You should then post your entry on your blog sometime on Saturday July 26th.
- I will create a post on this blog on Sunday the 27th with links to everyone's entry.
- Any medium is fine, graphite, charcoal, digital painting, colored pencils, etc have all been used.
- You are free to crop the image however you want, include what you want, exclude what you don't.
I have included a greyscale for those who may want to see the values more easily.

Oh! That's a super image, and thank you for the greyscale. I'm in on this one!
Ok, I'm in. I think this one might challenge me to do something completely different.
Count me in.
Love the grayscale!
What a great idea. Thanks for doing that.
I'm in.
I'll play on this one too.
I'm in too :)
I'm in too. Well...at least I'm going to try.
Hi, all! Michael's wife, Kylie, here. I'm a relative-newbie artist (though since I learn most things by watching, then I guess I've had about 17 years of "schooling" watching him!), but he's talked me into giving this a shot. I don't have an art blog yet, only a food blog, but since the pic is of oranges I guess I can post my entry there. Oranges *are* food, after all, and one of my favorites, too. :D
Its great to see everyone participating. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with on this.
These fruits are called 'Sunquats' which, after researching it as I'd never heard of these, are a cross between a lemon and a kumquat!
Enjoy!
I've never participated here before but count me in.
Count me in.
I am going to participate in this one.
beautiful picture- count me in too!
I have definitely greeted this VSD with enthusiasm!

Please. Pretty please.
A virtual sketch date is a great idea. I'm going to TRY to participate.
Bringing up the rear, as usual ... It's kind of late, but I'm in too. This is such a great idea, such fun.
Whoo, count me in! What a great idea!
Just found this blog this morning and what a fantastic idea. I'm keen to have a crack - I better get started quickly!
I am sketching now! The virtual drawings were just Grand.

Sharon, Laura, Maggie,Melissa and Sherrie, WELCOME! Great to have you all join in.
Hidely-ho!
I'm really liking the concept of this blog. Forces me to actually doa drawing that meets a deadline. I'm in.
I finished my piece (http://bugstumper.blogspot.com/2008/07/virtual-sketch-date.html ). It's a pen/ink piece.

I rushed this at the end to get it done while kiddies were sleeping so not that happy with outcome, looking forward to improving next time though!
My submission is up on the blog, here's the link

This was a good challenge for me, especially those leaf shadows on the fruit!

This was great fun. I will do it again in September.
