John H, 100 day challenge, Sketchbook time

[John Huisman]

Day 55, didn’t get much time today for sketching but I managed to get 20 minutes out on the front entry deck of my home in the suburbs scribbling.

Day 56, 56 & 58. Sort of lost track of the days here but I know I have been working on this page for three days, probably a total of a couple hours time.
There was a video going around last week that struck me.
The video was small and the frames kind of blurry but I pulled out a few shots and decided to try and capture her energy even though it is impossible for me to fully appreciate what drives it.
I am not happy with how it turned out, again I was trying too hard without relying on the gesture and forms to say what was needed.

I think they are great. They caught my eye and on closer viewing I think they are wonderful. Expressive.

Thank you for the kind word Tanya.

Day 59, a 20 minute ink sketch

Day 60, finishing the page with another 20 minute ink sketch.  Maybe starting off with the 20 minute time frame keeps me from getting tied up in details and over working.

Day 61, trying to keep loose and trying not to start something that I can’t finish in one sitting, decide on 20 to 30 minutes up front and maybe that will keep me from over working it.

Day 66 & 67,  It’s hard to do soft features with pen and ink especially at this small scale.

Day 69 & 70 It’s been cool the last couple mornings and nice to sit outside with a pencil and paper.

Day 71, I decided to start occasionally copying the work of the Masters. This is an exercise i have resisted but as I tried it yesterday I realize the value. It’s one thing to look at these works but when you try and copy, you can see a lot more of how they execute their lines. #100DayArtChallenge #PathToMastery #ink #Pencil #Sketchbook
