illustration friday (contraption)


This week's IF prompt is a troublesome one for me, as I rarely draw anything man-made. But, for that very reason, it's the kind of challenge I particularly appreciate, because it forces me out of my comfort zone. While I work on a new idea for this topic, here's an etegami I made some time ago, using liquid coffee instead of sumi ink and gansai paints.

  1. Coffeee!!! If that was me, I would never be able to paint it because I will drink the coffee. I think this is so cool! A coffee grinder painted with coffee!!!

  4. I like the idea of painting with coffee, and it's always good to stretch ourselves. I really like the idea of sending mini fans in summer, and your's is so pretty!

  6. Well done! I couldn't come up with something man made and then elegantly drawn by me, but you have done it rather well!

  7. Hi Debbie! Our work is so different but we often think alike: I had trouble with this word, too, for the same reasons - I usually draw organic stuff. I almost drew my French press, but opted for an apple peeler in the end.
