NOW... since the October challenge got to be a bit of a flop I signed up for WC's page-a-day challenge for November. I decided not to force myself to stick outside my comfort zone but simply do whatever appealed and being okay with the fact some days I have a good bit of time (La at school, Lily cooperates with a nap, not lots of other chores, bits of time snuck in waiting for dinner to cook, kids go to bed easy) and somedays (sick child/ren, not feeling great myself, heaps of stuff to do, La in a full on mood etc.) I will barely have time to scratch myself let alone sketch. I used the same style paper - A5, 100gsm, white paper. Unfortunately a few of the images have a shadow from my camera taking the pictures. Here's the first few days of that:
Day 1: Ink
Day 2: Ink and acrylic
Day 3: Ink and acrylic
Day 4: Ink only (eep, obviously my first kitty... poor Jaspy!)
Day 5: Ink kelpie head - actually about life size here
Day 6: Jahzy and Sam (people are hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhharrrrrdddd *whines* Even using grid reference for proportions it was impossible to define features and muscles without badly representing how much nicer my poor victi... er... subject, looks in life. ~_~
