"There's gotta be a kettle somewhere in all this rubble!" I sigh as I search what's left of the local diner following The Great Disaster. "I'm just dying for a spot of tea!" I keep searching. "Rats! Looks like every last kettle has already been snagged." I eventually uncover a load of metal utensils. "Jackpot! Good thing I'm handy with a welder. Tea time!"

Cool idea! Lots of interesting shape and texture here. I wonder how long it'd take to bend all that cutlery into shape

Thanks. Desire for tea can bring about great patience in a person :)

anything can be a kettle if you're a welder! wonder how heavy it would be.

the drawing is easy to read even with the complex shapes, kudos!

Exactly! The possibilities are only limited by what you can scavenge . . . and of course having the proper tools and expertise.

I imagine it would weigh similarly to a drawer-ful of metal utensils :)

Thanks for your kind words.

Thank you. I take great inspiration from the descriptions for the original prompts themselves. I love Comfy's ability (and whoever else works with him) to weave a back-story into the prompt. It gives so much more life and interest and meaning to the images we create.

Thanks so much for pointing that out. I knew I would miss a spot . . . welding . . . fixed! Let me know if you spot any more :)

I'm glad you like it.

The storyline that you have created further for your kettle is very interesting! Love it!

Thanks, Samieee :) I find it fun to try to squeeze my images for all the story-goodness I can.

Ellipse Master Template

Ellipse Master Template

This recommendation is really just for those of you who've reached lesson 6 and onwards.

I haven't found the actual brand you buy to matter much, so you may want to shop around. This one is a "master" template, which will give you a broad range of ellipse degrees and sizes (this one ranges between 0.25 inches and 1.5 inches), and is a good place to start. You may end up finding that this range limits the kinds of ellipses you draw, forcing you to work within those bounds, but it may still be worth it as full sets of ellipse guides can run you quite a bit more, simply due to the sizes and degrees that need to be covered.

No matter which brand of ellipse guide you decide to pick up, make sure they have little markings for the minor axes.
