Well, I did use a pen… and drew our set up diagram on a white board in Sharpie. Hardly art but I did think it out and draw, and I have to go sleep, so I’m counting it tonight.
Day 302 (Mon Oct 30) Not Exactly Art
Month: October 2017
Day 301 (Sun Oct 29th) -I’m back!
WELL… I haven’t posted since day 291… although I have made a sketch or two since then, nothing worth noting. I tried a couple Peter Sheeler tutorials one evening, and simply didn’t have a moment after that. We have been massively overwhelmed with our restaurant opening. I thought I’d manage to sneak 5 minutes of art in each day, but I had no idea how exhausted I’d be or how many 18 hour days I’d be trying. I feel like, artistically speaking, October has just been wasted. But we worked hard and the restaurant is on its way now, fully born, and I will have a little of my time back.
But when I picked up a pen today I found myself without inspiration. Or even the desire to sketch. It was a weird feeling. My studio is a wreck, as I have just tossed things in there and shut the door, so I couldn’t even go in there to sit. I watched a few a few artsy videos from vloggers I follow, and tried something quick…. really I think I’m still just sleepy. So here is my sad attempt at day 301 which really ISN’T day 301 of drawing… but is day 301 of the challenge. And hopefully over the next week something will inspire me.
Day 291 (Thurs Oct 19) bunny!
We have a guest artist today, Ellis Dickson, 5 years old…. Superhero Fire-girl Mosquito… our Ellie-bellie! But enough introduction… on to the ART.
Ellis and I were drawing bunnies, and I was supposed to post this spectacular masterpiece YESTERDAY, and got bogged down with work instead. Apologies, sweet girl! Two I drew for her to color, but the other she drew by herself with just a dab or two from me! AND she used really special ARTIST pens, too. Pretty cool, huh? You can all say “I knew her when…”
And here is my quick sketch for the evening. I cant do more than three minutes but like we have said throughout October… 3 minutes is better than no minutes! Inktober word for today “cloud”… and I thought about how much the silly drawn clouds look like trees…so there is my little weeping cloud tree.
Day 289 (Tues Oct 17) inktober “graceful”
Day 288 (Mon Oct 16) inktober “fat”
Day 287 (Sun Oct 15) inktober “mysterious”
Day 286 (Sat Oct 14th) inktober “shattered”
Day 285 (Fri Oct 13) inktober “run”
I fell behind on both my personal 2017 challenge AND my inktober challenge! It was a crazy week! So here I am, trying to catch up, over a few days:
Day 284 (Thursday October 12) ink puppy
Ink, ink, and more ink. I discovered sometimes something looks bad simply because it isn’t finished yet. I kept adding layers, and now I love the little guy. Ignore the little bit of eraser on the page. 🙂 I drew this for someone I am very very late in sending something to…. hopefully she will think he is sweet.
Day 282 (Tues Oct 10) Inktober “gigantic”
I’m pretty disappointed in most of my Inktober participation so far… I just don’t have time!! Still… I didn’t participate AT ALL last year, and anything is better than that.
