Inktober 16: Angular

This vintage Bang & Olufsen BeoCom 1 Cordless phone has a very angular design and is the ideal subject for Day 16 prompt.  It took me about an hour to sketch with some reasonable ballpoint pen shading.  Several restatements were made on the base and the handset notch because I sketch directly and don't use a pencil to start.  Another half hour for the finishing touch and there's the sketch of a 1980's angular phone.

    You really find some unusual things to draw. Nice shading with your ball point pen.
