100? Days of Drawing (Days 4 & 5 )

I love my sketches for Days 4 and 5. I’m trying out lines and how they can be applied to express effects I want done. I loved how cosy my dog looked in my Day 5 sketch.

Day 4: Mandarins
Day 5: Milo Resting

100? Days of Drawing (Days 2 and 3)

Days 2 and 3 drawings – I had fun adding in the bubbles on Rapha’s bottle. The plate drawing was a bit tight for my liking. So excited for what I can get done in the coming days!

100? Days of Drawing

I watched a video from an NZ Artist named Rhiannon James about the things she learnt from drawing for a hundred days (https://youtu.be/BYzP2I3yXCQ?si=s5bc0aK8wlgLdnst) and got interested. It wasn’t the typical challenge where internet people are involved. She just did the challenge by herself.

After having spent almost a month doing admin things like framing, completing and sending entry forms, and liaising with different people for shows I wanted to get into, I felt really lost and rusty once I went back to the studio to paint and draw. I do not know what I want to create. I know I want to create something, but I feel like I am running on empty.

And so I was inspired to do this challenge myself, too. I do not know if I will ever get to reach 100 days, but I have prepared 16 sheets of small toned papers I can draw on for now. I have commitment issues in almost all areas of my life and have found that I need to take baby steps before committing to anything, so for now, I am starting with 16 days of drawing.

Day 1: Drawing #1

This is how uninspired I am at the moment. I picked up this almost finished banana and drew it. The composition and perspective are off. I did not like it. However, I liked the concentration I had while drawing this. It was simple and small. I easily accomplished one. I hope to use this blog to record the whole experience so we’ll see where this goes!
