Day 99,
I wanted to do one more animal portrait before completing the challenge after tomorrow, so today I did a mixed media portrait of a blue jay. Its not as refined or technically accurate as I wanted it to be, but it gave me a chance to explore a combination of new media, including acrylic ink and posca brand acrylic paint markers. I also did most of the drawing freehand with pen and brush pen so as to challenge myself to be more considerate of the lines I create and be more economical with my mark making! This was also my first time using hot press watercolour paper, which was an interesting experience!
