I drew a screw top bottle (top off) and was very pleased with the neck but the shading went awry on the body.

The arty bollocks generator says: "The viewer is left with an epitaph for the limits of our condition."

The arty bollocks generator is eerily apt.

[pebblerocker]

What's this peculiar device?

It's a hand exerciser thing with a spring in it. After a couple of months of using it while watching TV, I can open my own jam jars again! Note that it is no longer on the lowest possible resistance setting ;)

There are limits to our ability to draw simple objects... that quote is very suited to caption many of my efforts.

Another take on the Na'Art from the other day:

It was especially apt as the bottle was a pill bottle, lol. I probably shouldn't admit how much I'm still enjoying the arty bollocks generator as part of my 2017 naarmamo experience, should I? :-D

/full of wrongness

To be honest, after I'd completed the difficult bit at the top I lost interest and concentration so the outcome was wholly my own fault. I don't mind though because I know I can draw bottles but thought the screw top might be beyond my capabilities.

[spiralsheep]

I especially like how you've captured its three dimensionality with comparatively few clean curving lines (the lines of least resistance? ;-) ).

I couldn't open a jar of sauerkraut recently but I just bang the lid until the seal pops, lol. >:-)

Ooo... very sophisticated! ::applause::

Drawing is such a good thing and I am sure your bottle would welcome some good drink, no matter the shading!

[vera_j]

Oh really! This is a very precise technical drawing - I recognised it at once! And wow - your hand is a very impressive tool/weapon now:-)

Re: Another take on the Na'Art from the other day:

Oooooooo! I LOVE this sophisticated and witty play with words!

Re: Another take on the Na'Art from the other day:

Thank you!

When in doubt, simplify...

(and also expand, as I wrote all the words in a coherent thought, instead of just the key ones)

Re: *\o/* naarmamo lives *\o/*

[capri0mni]

It's NaArMaMo! "Shouldn't admit how much I enjoy X" need not apply.

Re: *\o/* naarmamo lives *\o/*

[spiralsheep]

I've just generated a statement for today's naart to post tomorrow and it's PERFECT! :-D

(Yes, still posting a day behind because I need those extra hours!)

Re: *\o/* naarmamo lives *\o/*

[spiralsheep]

It's good that naarmamo encourages me to practice darawing, yes. :-)

[pebblerocker]

I needed to be a lot stronger after a wrist strain left me with a weak grip. I put in the time to do the exercises but I admit I didn't expect them to work so well!

I'm surprised that it's so easy to read the words in order with this layout - my eye went to the bottom left first as soon as I looked at it.

I really like this one in its shape and simplicity of line, but the message here is more readily parsed as a universal statement of truth, whereas the earlier version made me feel off-balance not just because of its shapes but because it started me thinking about my own identity... whether I know a word to name it or not, whether I'm ready to name whatever it is, things like that.

[feng_shui_house]

Neat drawing! It has almost an animalistic impression.

Re: Another take on the Na'Art from the other day:

[feng_shui_house]

Interesting. I read it as 'Born it is, power words have, Name Something!'

I think I read it in Yoda-Speak.

Back to Doodling!

[feng_shui_house]

Too hot for functional brain, and then I conked out and had a nap. But at least there's still the sketch.IO site for doodling.

So have a dragon and a smirky critter of nebulous species.

Re: *\o/* naarmamo lives *\o/*

[vera_j]

Yes! This is why I love it. I am very sad I can´t post the pictures here...

Re: Back to Doodling!

[vera_j]

Hahahaha! I want to scratch your dragon on his nose!
And that smirky creature looks very naughty:-)

Re: Another take on the Na'Art from the other day:

Heh... Well, the central idea still comes through, doesn't it? So it still works.

(Though, in your version, the final punctuation is "!" And in my version, it's "&").
