Day 36; coloured some of the fish with markers, did the background with a marker from a cheap brand. Not sure if I like it.
Day 35; I initially sketched, inked this in my regular sketchbook but wanted to dedicate a creative/from imagination sketchbook to the figure. I glued it in a new sketchbook and had to color it because sketches from the other side was showing through.
I didn’t bother with it being anatomically correct. 😅 So sorry to all the anatomy lovers here.
Yeah, I don’t really need to draw animals for my personal art I think. But I can learn some things from/with it. If i’m going to be drawing more animals, I think I want to start with sea creatures, maybe some insects. And then work my way up, I usually don’t like drawing hairy animals. 😊
Day 34; I didn’t have much time today to do stuff. This took me around 5/10 min. 🙄 Will ink later.
Yea. That might be interesting, thnx for the tip. Though I’m probably not going to work on it anymore. I really started to dislike working on it. I was trying to learn how to simplify my lines with what I saw from the reference. Because I want to learn how to make colouring book art, among other things. But I ended up putting the shadow under the beak, which made it hard to read, that area being too black. And other shadow areas. Which I later figured is probably not common for that style.
Day 33; I had a hard time getting myself to draw today, possibly because I felt kinda disappointed with what I did yesterday. I might use watercolour on it.
Day 32; I tried to ink over a pretty old sketch. The proportions weren’t great so had to redraw parts of it. Made some mistakes didn’t feel like finishing it. 😋 Need to do some inking courses.
@erikdennis I only signed up a few days ago, so I can’t tell you a lot yet. I have yet to receive my new art supplies to be able to do the assignments. I only signed up for the drawing access and they primarily work with newsprint pads, conte/charcoal. They work a lot with the Reilly Method and other constructed ways for figure/head drawing. You can submit your assignments and pass or fail on them, which means in some courses you can’t submit for later assignments and have to resubmit, redo an assignment. Sometimes there are issues in that process. Though you’re not obligated to submit anything if you don’t want the feedback. Most videos come with a couple of assignments. There are studygroups on the forum itself for the different courses. The content is pretty good, and I like the build up of the material, so yeah it depends on what your goals are if it’s something for you. For me I like how everything is organized and to know exactly what I need to be doing next, the results I might be able to get from it, and I’m interested in their methods. It doesn’t have as many courses, well only if you do the full access. 😋 But you pretty much have to be rich if you want to do that month after month.
Day 30; Last minute drawing, not that great..
Day 29: Some gestures, not timed. Warmed up with timed but I feel I can relax, take more in if I don’t do timed after.
I’m subscribed to Watts Atelier now as well. It gives me more of the structure that I need. For nma I’m focusing on gesture, anatomy. Kind of searching for how I want to continue the challenge. Since I don’t want to only post things I do for Watts Atelier here. And I don’t want to draw more heads, figures etc just for the challenge. Because sometimes I get a bit fed up with just drawing people or doing studies. So yeah I might do more environment stuff/ architecture on a small sketchbook that I have. I have a lot of free time to focus on art, but still managing it, knowing what to do, when is difficult for me.
Day 28; from my art inspiration sketchbook, reference from dreamworks animation.
