January Drawing Challenge #3

Day 3. A little quick drawing of Mr. Otto. By the space heater of course.

January Drawing Challenge #2

Just a spot by my computer-a bit boring but I wanted to life draw from my computer and the cat thing by my desk was calling to be drawn. Unfinished because I lost interest after I drew the cat-probably because that was the only thing I wanted to draw in the first place. Oh wellz-main point is that I drew something from life and I didn't fail this challenge second day in. Here's to tomorrow!

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).

2011 Drawing Challenge

My current spree of life drawing and the coming of a new year got me thinking-I'd really love to continue with how much I'm life drawing but how can I keep this up? At first I thought, hrm maybe I can do one of them new years resolutions/goals to draw from life every single day. But that seemed too daunting. So instead, I'm going to do monthly drawing challenges for myself. I'm not planning out what to do each month right now because I don't know what I'll be interested in at the time and I don't want this to feel like a forced thing. So at the end of the month, I will announce what I'm doing for the next month.

January's Challenge: Draw at least one thing from life(either animate or inanimate) every day (more if possible).

So here we go. And if you guys have any suggestions for future months, let me know...I'm sure I'm going to need ideas for this at some point.

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:

Rose Garden

From my sketchbook...there are some color choice issues, but overall happy with this. Very Disney-esque I know.

Dig Squirrel Dig!

It's been awhile since I last posted-sorry! Hopefully this makes up for it!
