Thirty Day Drawing Challenge - Day 9
Well, nine out of thirty, I'm still keeping up. Today's challenge was to draw what music sounds like. I tried to avoid seeing what others had drawn today so I could keep my concept without tainting it by the influence of the other artists, since it was a bit abstract. I mostly managed to do so, although starting earlier in the day would have helped out. I could have fleshed out this idea a little better, but it's all for practice and I'm trying to keep the time spent within an hour or so.
Although I'm still rusty, I do feel the oxidization begin to crumble a slight bit. That encourages me to keep on and hopefully finish. I didn't post the last couple days here, but if you want to see them, check out the links below, they are in there somewhere (I swear).

Thirty Day Drawing Challenge - Day 6
Day 6's theme is to draw the thing closest to me. The suggestion (requirement?) is to spend at least half an hour per drawing. I think this one just barely squeaks by.

Thirty Day Drawing Challenge - Day 5
Day five's theme is "Your Biggest Adventure". I don't think I've had mine yet. I really enjoy drawing loose like this, its not something I often do. This challenge has already been helpful for getting out of a creative slump. I have been using a camera so much lately to the detriment of picking up a brush, pencil or stylus.
I created this using Sketchbook app on the Mac, and a Wacom tablet with a few tweaks in Lightroom after.

Daily Drawing Challenge - Day: 4
I've decided to take up a thirty day daily drawing challenge put on by the Comox Valley Arts Council. Although it is day 4 and I have been doing it every day so far, this is the first I've posted here. The theme for today's challenge is "Fictional fish in an aquarium". I don't promise to complete the entire thirty days ( I tried last year and managed to only make it to day 6 or something) but I am definitely out of practice with drawing, and feel I need this exercise sorely. I'll probably post a bunch of these along the way, so keep returning to visit and check out my progress.
If you'd like to see what other talented artists are doing you can check them out by using the hashtag #cva30ddc17 on various social media and I recommend you do. There have been some great and surprising submissions!
