A daily drawing

So as to explore the essence of a cup, I sketched with a #2 pencil for 3 minutes with my eyes closed.  Can you see the "cupness" here.  I was quite delighted with the results, this is a fun way to loosen up on your drawing.  I tried to "see" the cup and feel it with my mind's eye.

A daily drawing

This is a 10 minute sketch, where I hoped to capture the essence of the coffee cup, along with the grain of the wood table that it is perched upon.

It's a loose, playful pencil sketch blending the feel of the plays of lights and darks.
