Don't forget the hanger!

Today's #theydrawtober in the food category was S'Mores. Who could resist? But trying to draw them once they're melted and sandwiched doesn't make such a pretty (or identifiable) subject, so I chose to depict the individual components that make up this campfire delicacy. And speaking of the campfire...as much an ingredient as all the food items is that wire hanger you unwrap to create the tool for toasting your marshmallows to perfection! (I thought about including a box of matches, but children may be present, so...no.)

Besides the questionable proportions of one item to another, there is one major flaw in this drawing—I made the candy bar a little too short, and ran out of space for the lettering, so instead of Hershey's, it's singular. Oh well..."perfection is the enemy of progress" (Winston Churchill)!


"S'Mores"—Uniball pen, Signo white gel pen, and watercolor in Bee Sketchbook.

  1. Now, when I was growing up, we didn't use coat hangers. We snapped a branch off the willow tree and peeled it.
    Wonderful drawing!

  2. No wire hangers in my house! Always used a green branch.

    Your drawing skills have really evolved! Nice work
