Day 7 Activity - Upside down spoonal portrait.

Tool: 6B pencil

Thoughts:

* It was harder that I thought due lack of clear outlines and small reference to draw from.

* First time with soft pencils was fun and new. Getting the shades/tones was much easier.

* Doing something hard wasn't scary. It was just focus and do it. Nothing to loose except inexperience.

Eat & Draw

I did this one at church before the service started (we have a cafe layout with butcher paper and art supplies on all tables and snacks.). I was there early and there were snacks :) I felt more relaxed than at home, which surprised me. I'm amongst friends/ in a safe environment so not that surprising on reflection. Having a cuppa and a lamington certainly added to relaxed nature of the exercise :). Quick drawing is also enjoyable to me. Used 1 1mm gel pen.

It was engaging playing with the meaning of four different quick drawings of the same mug by adding extra lines. I couldn't wait to get to the next one to see what I could do. Mug with hot drink, Mug flying up, radiant/divine mug, Something small being tossed into the mug. I'm curious how many more ways I could change it. How many 'visual' adjectives I could add.

Difference between day 1 & 14.

Day 1 I was concerned with requirements. Trying to make the mug look accurate, track time. Day 14 I knew what I wanted to play with and wasn't worried about time. More carefree :) Aiming to art daily. The 100 day project is helping with that :)
