Day 2 - Cloudwatching

Blindly scribbled a random shape ...

... and then started frantically and rapidly sketching over it with ink, markers and pierre noire. Result also looks a bit frantic I think

I love this exercise. I don't think I would have ever got this result without that random shape tot start from.

Day 3 - Feeling slow

Tried to draw the lines very slowly. Much more focus on each line and the drawing in general. Almost meditative at times. However a continuous challenge and effort to maintain the slow pace.

Then slowly added watercolour.

Day 4 - Shake it up

First time oil pastels. Thought it would be fun to try a new, very colourful medium for this speed drawing. Loved it!

Day 8 - Colors & more colors

My colors today are:

gray like the sky outside my bubble, green for the plants I surround myself with inside my home bubble, red flowers, orange for my ginger cat following me around in my bubble.

Day 11 - Transform me

This was a difficult exercise. Most of my drawings are figurative, especially the ones I am not pleased with. I notice I stay tied to the subject when it's figurative hence not really transforming it.

In the end I found one to work with but I think I may have transformed it too much ...
