Can you tell which shape is which? There is an apple, an orange, a tennis ball, a dryer ball, and a soft squeezable "stress" ball. The idea is to keep the different surfaces distinct. If need be, exaggerate the qualities of the marks, as there are no definitive rules."Twenty minutes, I can manage twenty minutes...
My head is pounding, okay, take two ibuprofen, now sit down and sketch.
Where do I start? I can do this, I can take my mind off my pain for twenty minutes...
Don't think about how the chair feels like I'm sitting on stone. Yes, foot, I hear you're screaming. I hear you want my undivided attention. Twenty minutes, just twenty ...
Yay, see! Already its been eight minutes. Foot is cold, rub it a bit, head on my forehead, headache still there, turn the music down, that will help ...
Who would have thought I could draw straight lines on an apple, and they could show the roundness and firmness?
...open the window, that will help, too...
Hey! The green ball has STRIPES on it. Woah. Wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't been staring at it for the last few minutes.
...oh, my back is killing me. How come my back hurts, too? And my hips. And my head. And my shoulders. What about --
Okay, almost done twenty minutes, good girl, you're doing well, you can do this - furry tennis ball too furry? No, that's okay, it does look furry...
That orange is not round. It has lots of flat parts. So will cross hatching work? Well, look at that. Cross hatching totally works. Shows the dimples but doesn't look like checkers.
Hunh. Ever neat.
All drawn with the same darkness of lead, but they do all look different.
Check the clock. Twenty three minutes! I did it! Good for me! Okay, foot, thank you for the break. I'll reheat the hot pack now and we'll go lie down again ... " :) :)
