Day 30:
Prop: Inks, brushes, pencil and more
Subject: Thanks

Wow, last day!!! I have put so much drawings in this project. Maybe gave you all a little overload ;)

I wanted to make a beautifull thnx, but instead I tell you: Thnx for all the good remarks and sweet comments. I really loved this project.

After the class and the -30 day november- I really hope I will make my creative start of the day with a little drawing NOT fade away. It makes me want to come out of my bed and enjoy creation!

I loved looking at other peoples work and being inspired by them. They are all so awesome in their own special way....

So a cabin... My grandparents had a cabin in the woods, and every 2 weeks we went there. I loved that place!!! Unfortunately they had to sell it in 2001 and now there both gone, I really have so much fun memories from us playing there, in the woods. I drew this from my memory, at home I found a photo of a similar house online. My memory wasn't quit right, but not to bad...

Also, I drew this one in pencil, here, at home, I worked it out a little with a graphic pen.

Day 14:
Prop: 0,5 graphic pen
Subject: Acorn

Ok, didnt know what to do at first. Acorn sounds like "eekhoorn" the dutch word for squirrell. So first I thought about drawing a squirrel. But then I looked at some classmates work and I got inspired to try something with letters.

I like it. It might need some colour...or structure

Day 28 or 7:
Prop: Automatic pencil
Subject: Home

Well, I already thought about my hometown, and drawn my favorite toy from my youth. So I thought about this a lot. Cloggs, mills, tullips, pot, red light district.... Hmm do I want to show that part of Holland. Nahhh...

Last week, I saw a documentary about a very famous dutch character, Nijntje or Miffy. Dick Bruna, the creator, is a very nice man and a great illustrator. I thought: let me try to duplicate Miffy. Wow, that wasn't easy. It looks so simple but isn't...

Prop: Gaphic pen
Subject: Feast

Hmmm feast. I thought of foods. So decides to make a taxonomy about my favorite foods.

-----

Day 23 or 2:
Prop:Watercolours
Subject: Gourds

After googling what Gourds were, I didnt feel inspired by it. But tried it anyway. Maybe making something uninspired will make something happen.

Day 21:
Prop: Watercolours, oil pastels
Subject: Aliens

Today I wanted to work like we did in kindergarten. Color a whole page, then cover that with black oilpastel and then carve a drawing with something sharp.

Day 19:
Prop: printer
Subject: My hometown
Time: short

I live in Haarlem, the Netherlands. A beautifull town 20 minutes drive from Amsterdam. We have a lot of historical buildings here. But the most standout is the "Great Bavo" Church at the Market square. I can see it from my window in the distance.

And then something happend here.

I wanted to make an ink drawing of the tower of the Bavochurch. I searched for a nice picture of it on the net, and found an old technical drawing, and printed that one. Somehow my brain glitched in lazyness and I wanted to transfer it into my sketchbook, so I made the printerpage wet and pressed it facedown on the paper, a few times, it worked and I love it!! I looked at it again and again while drying, to see if I wanted to do something with it. But I dont!! So I leave it at this. Maybe, one other day I'll try to work with it, make some copies, and have fun with colour and stuff.

Day 17:
Prop: I loved the result with the palette knive, so I want to try it again
Subject: Faces
Time: ∞

So Faces it is today. I could think of a lot of ways of making faces, but since I love the day 3 palette knife result, and I have made some nice colour faces in the past. That became my goal. I did research a little on the net and found a lot in the style I had in my head. So closed the browser and started. I kinda love it again ;)))

Day 15:
Prop: Indian ink, pippet, straw, pen, coloured pencils
Subject: Monsters
Time: ultd

Ok, I picked monsters today and thought about folowing the class about making monsters from ink drops. So I followed the class. It was fun, and at the end of the day I decided to make one in my sketchbook, and its horrible!!! The paper from the sketchbook, immediately sucked all the ink, so the spot didn't become nice. And the final drawing is ugly!!!!

Ugly things also belong in a skecthbook... Failures... But I dont want to show the full thing here, so only a small piece of it.... that wasn't so bad :(

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 45 - student project

Day 14:

But ok... fashion, lets try if I can make a fashion like drawing.

First I made the blue one... didn't like it, made the yellow one... didn't like it either, decided to work on the blue one a little more, and it turned out ok

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 46 - student project

Day 13:
Prop: Pencil
Subject: Birds
Time: A lot!

Today I drew "birds" from the bowl and I decided to work on an old sketch from a vulture I once made. Or is it a pelican now... ??

Working in my old style was fun... and it felt good to work long and hard after a day of nothing... a little bit like making it up. Am I to strict for myself?

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 48 - student project

Day 13: Vulture with pencil

-----

Day 12:
Shoot, it didnt happen today!! Been al little ill and at the end of the day, I felt like sleeping...

-----

Day 11:
Prop: Automatic pencil
Subject: Pets
Time: Why not? 5 minutes

I felt like throwing my dice. So I looked up a picture of a hedgehog online, that's kind of a pet, not? I threw the dice and 5 minutes later.... (And an extra minute to finish the nose)

-----

Day 9:
Prop: Acrylic paint
Subject: Fruits
Time: ultd

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 52 - student project

Day 9: Fruits with acrylic paint

-----

Day 8:
Prop: Mouth Atomizer, Liquid watercolours
Subject: Feelings
Time: Funtime!

Today I picked a mouth Atomizer, and didn't know how it worked anymore. So, the subject got a little bit lost, while experimenting with the atomizer. I made a few test sheets and decided to make a stencil in the shape of a hart... the universal symbol for love, so still a little bit of feeling in there.

Everything around me got speckled, I had a lot of fun today!!!

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 53 - student project

Day 8: Mouth atomizer and "Feelings"

-----

Day 7:
Prop: Stencil brush, acrylic paint, pen
Subject: Toys
Time: Unlimited

Wel, I got "toys" and didnt know what to draw untill I picked up my prop, looked at the shape and decided I could probably make pretty fun marbles with it... so I did!

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 54 - student project

Day 7: Marbles with a stencil brush

-----

Day 6:
Prop: I wanted to work only with my favorite pen... so no magic here today
Subject: Geometric shapes
Time: as long as I liked

I started with a little square and worked from there... loved the shape of the whole pattern that grew under my hands. But it was to pale. It needed colour! Alle the shapes that tended to be square got a blue shade, and the biggest shape became red!

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 55 - student project

Day 6: Geometric shapes with my favorite pen and some water colours.

Day 5:
Ok, today time was a little issue... friday is the only working day for me. But after midnight, while feeling tired I decided to still go for it!

For the continuing story of sketchbook magic I drew 28!! Wow, I guess I will show you a lot more here

Prop: a pipette
Subject: Words that means something to me
Time: as long as I could keep my eyes open
I couldn't think of a word, but since my prop was a pipette, I decided to just drop some liquid watercolours on the sheet, let them flow around and see where it would get me.... it became blood and the word "peace" popped into my head. So... here's the result...

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 57 - student project

Day 5: Peace with liquid watercolours and a pipette

-----

Day 4:
Not really an issue for me... space... actually time isn't either. It's passion, and getting out of my comfortzone. But ok, I made the fortuneteller, and only could think of 4 spaces relevant to me (and the weather). Bedroom, balcony, couch or dining table. So there I went and it became.... dining table!!!

The subject was "things from my junk drawer" and it was a clothespin. The medium was ink.

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 58 - student project

Day 4: Clothespin with Ink

-----

Day 3:
Today I first picked, magically, a palette knife. Instead of oil paint I decided to try with Acrylic paint. The subject I picked is: Book titles, and after looking through my big bookcase (really, its big, and how to make a choice then!!) and found the book "Catherdral of the ocean" from Ildefonso Falcones. Loved that book!! And then the dice rolled to 6!! Lucky me.. I thought...

Wow... that's short! But again, fun to try!

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 59 - student project

Day 3: Cathedral of the ocean, with a palette knife

-----

Day 2:
I Picked Flowers from my bowl (it only became one) And I'm pleased with it. Was frustrated with what I first drew. It was ugly!!! But I thought: "keep on going girl!", and I did, and it came out better then I thought at first.

What I did find out, that its better for me to put the mediums on a tray instead of a bowl, so I can also pick the small ones...To much big stuff!

Sketchbook magic and November 30 day sketchbook challenge finished - image 60 - student project

Day 2: My favorite brush, and aquarelle paint (water colours)

-----

So... I enrolled this class, the first on SkillShare, because I have lost my creative touch. I attended Arts academy 22 years ago, stopped after 1,5 years and havent found the fun back really.

Now, for day 1, I put all my mediums on the table and I picked koh-i-noor chalks (or brown chalks).

Didnt know what to do with them, so I followed the example and started to make a little pattern...
