Caitlyn and Ariel

Taking a break from the daily challenges to do a picture for Caitlyn and Ariel. Congratulations!!

Daily Challenge Day 20: Draw your favourite childhood toy from memory

Daily Challenge Day 19: Draw a scary monster from your imagination

Daily Challenge Day 18: Draw something you use every day

Well, the good news is that I finally bought a cintiq!!
The bad news is that it seems to be not getting along with my computer - not sure if it's because my laptop is starting to get a bit old and still running Windows XP. I did something very simple to get used to the new cintiq, but it still doesn't feel very comfortable to use yet :(

Daily Challenge Day 17: Draw five things that begin with the letter "T"

Daily Challenge Day 16: Put something inside a paper bag. Draw the bag.

Daily Challenge Day 15: Draw a bird or animal from life

Sketch:

Without sketch:

Drawn from a photo rather than life.

Day 14 was drawing a hand with my left hand and I didn't feel like my effort was worth posting up.

Daily Challenge Day 13: Select and draw a fruit or vegetable. Eat it and draw what's left.

Daily Challenge Day 12: Draw your face in a mirror

I used the webcam for this rather than a mirror.

Daily Challenge Day 11: Draw approx 25 dots on a page. Connect some or all of the dots.

Ack, I'm four days behind!
Thought I'd try my hand at Gallifreyan.

Daily Challenge Day 10: Draw everything you can see outside a window.

Just a quick one today. Yeah, I don't have a great view from my window.
Going to Seattle for the weekend; here's hoping I can keep up with the daily challenges!

Daily Challenge Day 9: Draw a nest using the numbers 1, 2 & 5

The nest of the numbird.

Daily Challenge Day 8: Make a pattern out of diamond shapes

I didn't really follow the instructions for this one.

Daily Challenge Day 7: Draw your route through the city today

Daily Challenge Day 6: Draw a tornado

Daily Challenge Day 5: Draw a bike

Uh oh, losing effort already. :(

Daily Challenge Day 4: Draw onto pre-printed paper (ie wrapping paper) adding to what is already on that page

Daily Challenge Day 3: Scribble for five minutes without lifting your pencil off the page.

This was probably trickier for me than the first two challenges. Goddamn time limits. Good thing I use a Cintiq and Photoshop!

Daily Challenge Day 2: Draw your shopping or to-do list using pictures not words.

 

I had to reference "Hyperbole and A Half" because cleaning ALL the things is never not on my to-do list.

Daily Challenge Day 1: Draw a houseplant

I did the Vancouver Draw Down daily challenge today, which was to draw a houseplant. It took me about ten minutes during my lunch break, don't know if I will be able to keep it up for the whole month but I had fun. :)

We only have two houseplants in our apartment, Kraken (the aloe vera) and Bob (the cactus).
