Day 13: Take two. I really enjoyed the one line drawing, and decided to try it on my other drawings. Ended up choosing the make believe jellyfish and adding some color. Well actually I did most of the color first and added the jellyfish.

Day 12: structure. Well I always wanted to try one of these tall buildings and this seemed like the perfect prompt. I didn't use a ruler (except for the sides) so I could see how it would turn out freehand. A time-consuming and relaxing diversion.

Day 11: transform (day 3): I learned from this: DON'T do it with representational art. I knew my drawing had bad lines, which is why I didn't ink it. I thought, what the heck, I'll try to correct them as I ink. And then I tried again in purple. But my bad pencil drawing is now a bad drawing in ink. It made me think of a watercolor class I took in which I was taught: you must start with a good sketch. BUT, it was a good lesson. Again, my apologies to Porsche!

Day 10: thread. I am taking another class on Skillshare called One Line Drawing with Altea Alessandroni. This prompt seemed perfect for trying it. Although my lines are more squiggly than I would like, I like the concept and it was fun.

Day 9: Flatten it out. Tired tonight but committed to drawing something EVERY DAY. Just drawing continuous lines was pretty relaxing. Don't love it, but I did it.

Day 8: Colors and more colors. Another drizzling day of working out of our spare room connected to two computers and airpods. I am grateful for coffee and the tree outside my window. I only take a little while in the morning to do these challenges, so really, this is the color of my morning rather than my day.

Day 7: crowd of creatures. Not much time this morning, so I just scribbled some make believe jellies.

Day 6: Metamorphosis #2: back to scribbling with pens.

Day 5: Metamorphosis: Rediscovered my colored pencils today--thought about hatching chicks and then blooming flowers, and then came upon the idea of winter turning to spring. I take a picture of our crocus coming up every year. Of course, we rarely have snow, but it made a better picture I think.

Day 4: Shake it up

This is our duck Sherlock. I drew this quickly and decided it needed some splatter to make sense. I am trying to draw quickly and live with what I get rather than doing it over.

Day 3: Feeling a bit slow...

Dear Porsche, I am so sorry, I have never tried to draw a car. But it seemed like a good project for my "slllloooooowwww" drawing. I think I got better results than a quick sketch, with 15 minutes of slow, focused drawing. But it's not quite right. I wouldn't ink this, BUT, I did learn that I might be able to do a better one!

Day two: Cloud watching. I was all in: closed my eyes and scribbled with a brushmarker and then turned it into something with the marker and a micron 005. Pretty fun, thanks for the idea!

Well the first one took more than 10 minutes. But I just read this book and have been thinking about it, so I did a little "journey" art for my illustrated journal. 28 day challenge - image 14 - student project
