Confessions of a researchaholic

I saw this standing cabinet on the roadside a few days back, and it was gone today when I walked past the same spot.

I took one, and it has a tinge of wood in the taste and smell.

Careful observation can reveal hidden intrigues of mundane objects.

I draw what I (want you to) see, no more, no less.

Folds and wraps can form intriguing patterns and shapes.
This chocolate truffle is wrapped in a specular BRDF making it hard to see the underlying contours.

I drew the initial version of the lower-right mushroom from memory, which I realized to be too regular upon looking at the photograph while attempting to upload. I then modified the shape to be less regular and more natural/interesting.
The other two were drawn entirely from memory as I did not capture any photo reference.

I lost track of time drawing these two apples snugging on the bananas, and did not realize it was past my usual bed time.

A pile of broken tires around a construction site caught my eye on January 3 2021, especially the lower-left one in a twisted fold. But it was moved towards the fence before I got a chance to draw it.

This apple has unhandled extraordinary vertices for its subdivision rules.

Ugly apple – pencil, charcoal, graphite, oil, and smudge #AdobeFresco

Even though shaped with
unusual subdivision,
still fresh and tasty.
