Description Though usually kept relatively clean, the streets of Providence are, as one might imagine of any city streets, not exactly the most sanitary of places. during a stroll through these urbanized trails, one can often find the remains of various bits of detritus carelessly discarded by other passers by. 

It was a particular warm winter's day, when I stumbled upon a most curious object left among the assorted candy wrappers, car mufflers, and other items strewn about the melting snow more easily recognized by my earthly eye. it became clear to me at once that this strange red egg-like object I had found was - unlike my eyes - not of earthly origin, and as I prodded its pliant rubbery surface and examined the various ovoid holes leading into its interior cavity, I caught a glimpse of what must have been its previous owners loping away over the horizon... 

I ran to them, hoping to return to them this unfamiliar object, but I ran to no avail; by the time I reached the place in which I had seen them, they were gone... 

litter ally.

this piece was drawn on a piece of 11" x 14" bristol paper, and I drew using a few different sizes of micron pen... as far as shading goes, I don't think that is something that can explain exactly, I suppose I have been using cross contour lines to describe shape, and other than that just laying in the pen lines where shadow is, and building form from that... haha, sorry, I am not very eloquent with these sort of things...

indeed! these things just sort of happen the more you draw and observe the drawings of other people, so, it'll all become clear eventually!
