Vikin ship and squiggles

Dear Sarah - Day 186 of our daily drawing exchange

July 5, 2025
Hi Nikki,

My day has been busy (but probably not as busy as yours), so another late start with drawing. The class assignment was to add to yesterday's gradients. Wet on dry city skyline, flowers and landscape.

I've been wanting to try my hand at drawing a photo of a Viking ship that was apparently used by female Viking warriors. I made a start--the curves and perspective are very challenging-- it's a WIP, for sure. I'll attach the photo from Nat Geo too.

Hope your day wasn't too crazy!

XO S

Hi Sarah -

Day was very, very full…

What great curves in that Viking ship! And, can totally see how good gradients can be put to use!

For me, I need to cheat and post something old randomly selected from a nearby sketchbook.

Which actually weirdly reflects the current state of my weary brain!

I need to go to bed - the day started early and has been pretty non-stop ever since.

Nikki
