Chubby Needle

 

1/24/24 Maple Leaf neighborhood

I’m not a fan of blow-up holiday lawn ornaments, especially when it’s the fourth week of January. As a native Seattleite, however, I had to put aside my curmudgeonly attitude when I saw this chubby Space Needle on a recent walk.

Although I’ve sketched the actual Space Needle many, many times, I’m still always challenged by its shapely proportions. It’s an icon; if you get it wrong, even people who have never seen it in person will know something’s off. I chuckled as I sketched this squatty Needle: Finally license to draw it fat.
