David's Pasta 1
August is a happy time! Not only we can easily find beautiful, organic tomatoes in local grocery stores and farmer's markets, but also our sweet basil provides us an abundant supply to go with tomatoes.
I love spaghetti, but I especially love spaghetti rigati. When looking at the end of each noodle, you see a square instead of the familiar round. But the shape is not what's so special about it; it's the dented line placed on each side of it. These secretive lines enable each noodle to absorb far more David's delicious sauce than the plain spaghetti, and we just love it!I probably should've made the opaque white thicker, so it would've resembled Parmesan cheese better. Hmm.
Media: pencil (just for the plate), technical pen, watercolor.

Wow! That looks delicious. And it isn't time to eat yet, but my stomach is suddenly grumbling that it wants some of that. How did you ever hold of eating it long enough to sketch it?
I really like the approach that you took to drawing this one. The way that each of the ingredients really pops out looks like a good way to treat this sort of dish.
Keep up the good work.
Thanks to my camera and computer, who take care of my reluctant models. :)
This was surprisingly easy to draw (0.5hr) and color (1hr? I was having too much fun to count time), but I had to use pencil to get the plate shape more-or-less oval.
I expect that we'll have more happy pasta dishes for the rest of August! :D
