Day 100! (Rendering Techniques with Chris Legaspi) FINALLLY!!!! Jan 23, 2021 to June 1, 2021.

I can’t believe I actually managed to stick to 100 days (not consecutively, I had days off). That I consider an accomplishment in itself. More importantly, I initially set out to draw better. In the course of the challenge, I challenged myself way beyond my comfort zones and learned an incredible deal, from concepts of light/shadow and various hatching techniques to even some anatomy. I drew things that I did not think I could. I ended up focusing a bulk of the course, (not intentionally), on the Russian Academic course which I thoroughly enjoyed. I also worked on Master Monday projects among other things. I will likely re-do a lot of the drawings to gauge my future progress. However, there are new courses coming up as well, which I think I need at this point…to spice things up with new flavors. To all still participating or yet to participate, cheering you on!

Congratulations, Carolina, on an amazing 100 Day Challenge! I’ve followed your thread from the beginning. You are one of the artists on NMA who has inspired me the most. I’ve been so impressed (and a little envious LOL!) of how effortlessly you seem to master the goals you set. You set out to wow yourself, and I hope you succeeded. You certainly wowed me. Although it appears effortless, what you’ve accomplished takes tremendous dedication and diligence. Combined with your obvious talent, I know you will realize whatever future aspirations you have going forward!

[Carolina]

Thank you so very much Jan for all your support! It was a tough challenge, many days where I did not feel like doing it, but I did wow myself, so to speak! lol. There is much more skill to acquire though. A never ending process really. But I am in it for the long haul.

I see you partook in the monthly challenge with yet another deep and heartfelt drawing. Congratulations to your son on achieving his desires/goals and for you capturing his enthusiasm and also the motivation/drive behind it. Hope to see you in the Master Anatomy course…or whenever your schedule allows!
