30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 5

see note after video


Today's Prompt - Best Friend



This is Katie, my best friend. She is... I can't even think of a word to describe her. She's the greatest. It was actually tough for me to do this drawing, as I had a hard time accepting that nothing I draw is going to fully convey how awesome she is. I didn't want to give her any less than she deserves. But, when it comes down to it, nothing is going to measure up. Plus I know that she'd just encourage me and tell me to do my best, and then probably give me angry eyes when I say that my best isn't good enough, and then blush and/or tear up as she reads about how incredible I think she is. Thank you Little Red, for always being there for me. Things really are better when we're together.

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 4

In today's drawing I really challenged myself by stepping outside of my comfort zone... I used pencil crayons to draw the entire picture. Usually the only times I use pencil crayons is on birthday or Christmas cards. I am quite pleased with the results and think that they will be getting a bit more use now...

Today's Prompt - Favourite Place

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 3

This drawing didn't have a lot of effort put into it, as I was instead putting my effort into studying for my Theoretical Logic exam... Now that I've finished writing the exam (yay!) I've been able to upload the movie!

Today's prompt was 'Favorite Food'

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 2

Day 2 of my 30 day challenge. This one was drawn last night, during a much needed break from studying.
I really enjoyed doing this drawing as it was my first time really working with white on black... It's a lot different than my usual style, and really requires you to think differently about what you're doing. I definitely think I'll be doing it again.
Interesting note about this drawing... I'm pretty sure the prompt of 'favourite animal' was asking me to draw MY favourite animal, but I decided to draw my sister's favourite animal instead. She really likes wolves, and I think they're pretty cool too... And much more interesting than my favourite animal: cows. Don't ask, I just really like 'em. :]

Today's prompt: favourite animal

30 Day Drawing Challenge - Day 1

I've decided to take part in a 30 day drawing challenge. Each day, for 30 days, I will do a drawing of whatever the prompt is. Some days (like today!), I will also post a video of me doing the drawing!

I think this challenge will be good for me for many reasons. I'm a total perfectionist, and the idea of sharing work that isn't PERFECT literally makes me sick to my stomach. With a daily drawing, though, I don't have time to perfect it, and that's the beauty of it. It will also help me broaden my skills, as there are a lot of things on the list I would never have drawn before...


This drawing is actually yesterdays drawing. Official start date of my 30 day challenge was April 13th. Let's go!
