January Drawing Challenge #25-29

Sorry I've been lame about posting these. Almost done with January though-I can't believe it! Monday's drawing did exist, but my mom threw the drawing out :/ My fault for drawing on a scrap piece of paper I guess.

January Drawing Challenge #12

January Drawing Challenge #11-OMG 100th post

100th post...too bad that the drawings in this are so unmonumental. :/ Oh wellz.
1st one is of my cat Woody sleeping which I drew last night
2nd is a memory sketch of something I saw while driving...I botched the guy the first time I tried, but I liked the dog so I just redrew the guy and sloppily used the magic of photoshop to blend the two together. It kinda worked.

January Drawing Challenge #9

Tried drawing part of a coffee roaster. Mechanical objects are not my strength in any sort of way, but this was good practice nonetheless.

January Drawing Challenge #8

Drawn at the Kite Flying Festival at Lake Harriet today. Super quick drawings because it was SOOOO cold out(which I actually think helped these drawings). Day 8, DONE!

January Drawing Challenge #6

January Drawing Challenge #4 and #5

Stayed the night at a friend's house, I drew her very cute dog Pepper

While driving back, I saw this awesome Caribou Coffee shop in Redwing that is in an old train station building. Stopped both for breakfast and to draw. I was on the 2nd level looking down-the stair part is kind of wonk.

January Drawing Challenge #1

Oh haha, I just realized I totally wrote the wrong date. No I did not draw this two days in the future but today, Jan 1st(although, that would be way awesome if the former were true).

Lifedrawing-Family, Cats and Coffee

Ready for it-here are a butt load of life drawings I've done in the past week. I am quite pleased with how well all of these came out.

Cats(My cousin's cats):

Family:

My cousins Jacky and Josh playing Donkey Kong Returns. It was fun watching them play this game-memories of when I was younger watching them playing Donkey Kong 64. Plus they totally rock at the game.

My sister holding my cousin's 2-week old baby, Lucia.

Above and the next few drawings are of my Grandma. This was the first year she was unable to come to my aunt's house for Christmas-she's been battling Alzheimer's for the past 5+ years and she can no longer really move her body anymore. I've been making a point to draw her whenever I see her the past few years which has been an honor and blessing to do( and I do not mean that lightly).

Coffee:

Lions Life Drawing

Went to the zoo today and drew some animals-especially the lions, they were most fun to draw today. So here's some lions. Rawr.

Class Designs

It's a new school year which means I'm back to working on these design things(not really sure what to call them). I work on them in my non-art lecture classes-helps me remember the material more and keeps me focused to the lectures. Such an art student sometimes...

Mixed Media Experiment

Just an extensive experiment from my sketchbook. A mix of watercolor, pen, marker and glitter glue. I didn't really think of composition when making this as I didn't think much would come of it when I started so that's kind of lacking, but I love how all the mediums worked together. More mixed media to come, that's for sure.

Zoo Scribbles

Went to the artists day at Como Zoo on Sunday morning. Here are some of my better sketches of the animals.

African Lioness
First attempt at watercoloring at the zoo. I need way more practice with that obviously.

South African Penguins

Lesser Kudu
