Sketch-a-Day

The challenge is seemingly simple; sketch an idea every day for the remainder of 2011.  I have been on a steady run of drawing so far this year and decided it was time for a little personal challenge. 

Some ideas may be decidedly practical, but I expect a few will wander into unusual and impossible realms.  One thing I can be sure of though will be the difficulty in producing a fresh idea as the year moves on, I have a plan for this.  Old sketches, i'll pull out some of my favorite drawings from years past.

For now I will catch up you up on the year and present a few sketches I have drawn so far.   The headline image is a mini-study of angled structures, intended as wood timbers in this case.  

Drawings to modify my computer desk.  Replaced the top with a larger and lighter one, added an upper shelf and lowered the desk height.  I made it large enough to sketch comfortably and slide a desk chair under, both surely lacking in the previous desk.

 An idea for a portable drawing table made from the discarded top in the above.  Includes custom parallel bar, hardwood pencil tray, and an adjustable height.

Trying to fix my apartments kitchen.  It's tight, the stove is crowded, and theres a 9 foot tall counter on one side, well more like 4 feet but thats way to high.  The idea is to lower the current counter and add a new one forward of that creating a bounty of usable space, especially around the stove.
