Thirty Day Drawing Challenge - Day 16

  Cross-hatching... It's something I absent-mindedly do sometimes while doodling on the cover of magazines, but not something I employ in art on the regular.  That being said, after initially letting out an audible groan when i saw today's theme, I wasn't unhappy to do it.  The theme said anything using cross hatching, and I like to draw skulls as a fallback when I can't think of anything else. So, here readers, I present you day 16.

Thirty Day Drawing Challenge - Day 15

  I wasn't really into today's theme of Eye Glasses.  While this is is not strictly a drawing, artists are rebels, and so I bucked the rules.  I need more practice in photoshop, so I decided to employ some of the more usual tools in photoshop that I never use to create today's image.

Thirty Day Drawing Challengel - Day 12

 Today's Challenge is to draw a fireplace or a bonfire. I was originally going to finish this one with bright and wild colours but I decided to leave as a line drawing, in the hopes that one of the other participants, or anyone else, will use it as a colouring page. Feel free to download it, and I would love if you shared the results with me.

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 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.
