Just the drawing please
Never mind the commentary that gives you too much information. I'll keep it to myself tonight. Instead, here is a Charatan freehand Dublin that I bought several years ago from the venerable Iwan Ries & Company, near the Art Institute in Chicago, after finishing a custom bookcase installation in a rare book shop on Printers Row. In fact, it's the pipe that I had clamped between my teeth in the photo on the "about me" page of this website. The Saab keys are to the gray 99GLE that I'm trying to sell, and the disc-like object is a circa 1937 bakelite Wunup Baccyflap tobacco container from England. I did this drawing using a new set of water soluble colored pencils, softer and more intense than what I've been drawing with, also from England. They're a little messy, and not very subtle. That worked just fine, since a carefully detailed exercise was not in the cards.
