Reason: Because my value drawings take a long time, sometimes upward of 60+ hours, it can feel like it takes forever to finish a drawing. This kind of goes along the lines of "30 Paintings in 30 Days" from Leslie Saeta's Blog. I am modifying it a little however just doing it on the week days.
Week One:
This being the first week I have done this challenge I have found some cool, positive things that have come out of this challenge as well as some struggles I will have to work through. A cool thing was my excitement to do these line drawings each day. I was able to choose subjects that interested me, and draw them, from start to finish. It reminded me of when I was in Middle School and High School, doing line drawings of my favorite Anime characters in one sitting.
Something I learned is that it takes me about 1-2 hours to do a line drawing, like the ones below. This is both a good and something that might not be so good. The way my work schedule is for the Day Care I work for, I only have about 3 hours between my morning and afternoon shifts. With drawings that take 1-2 hours to do, I now only had 1 hour to work on projects and commissions that have deadlines.
My other issue this week was that Halloween landed on Friday. I was so busy I only had a short time in my studio and that was to get ready for Open Studio on Saturday.
Below are the 4 line drawings I was able to finish this week.
