Josseline’s 100 Day Challenge: Sketchbooking

[Josseline Jeria]

Thanks @ZHISU I know I’m very early in my artistic pursuits, thus getting mileage in is amongst the most important things I have to focus on. Yes they do! I had to do a LOT of them the other day for the Russian course. But really felt I got an even bettter handle of those forms after those assignments.

Day 11  – I’m feeling pretty burned out. It’s reflecting in my work I think. I decided to take a break from painting, studying, assigments, sketching, everything. I just quickly put this watercolour sketch idea down. Given I’ve done most days of the challenge 1+ more pages than what I had set myself (2 pages daily) I think it is ohk for this day to leave it at that. (I posted day 10 prior to creating this post but because it has a few photos, it will take a while till it uploads,. You all will be able to see it shortly once it’s up 🙂 )

So today, April 19th marks one year since I started learning how to paint and wanting to pursue learning about the craft of art in general.  Happy with my efforts, but plenty plenty more work to be done. It’s a pretty special thing for me, so I wanted to share this post with you all, for those who may be interested 🙂 it sums the progress across the year for my painting.

Lucas – Thanks 🙂 I know right? I don’t think it’s because we don’t actually want to draw, just our brains are a bit fatigued due to how much work we’re doing. But doing some kind of art everyday is essential to ingrain long term persistence!

yeah i think it was the painting that burned me out a bit, but still did a little bit of drawing just not very serious ones xD. gave u a follow on insta. and yes persistence is the key

Your entries look great! I particularly liked where you got with those duck studies, the shapes are working and the shades in the duck head by the corner do give a nice volume to it!

Seeing your progress within the last year is really inspiring, keep up the good work!

So cool! I think all of us are feeling a bit burnt out. Personally the last three days I have not wanted to draw. Keep it up though!

Day 10 – Fountain pen – timed gesture session. I still need to figure out how I want to approach these. The way I do these for studies doesn’t work so well for timed sessions. Doing them in pen is difficult for me.

Graphite and stabilo point 88 fineliner – a few quick sketches I did whilst at the hospital. It felt strange drawing in that kind of enviroment, made me feel uncomfortable, I think the drawings show that, but it helped during those brief moments to take my mind off things by drawing.

Lucas – painting is so wonderful but it does take a lot out of you. So many things to think about! Thanks, and likewise. Your lorikeet profile pic is SO sweet. I get lots of them in my area. During summer many of them hang on my balcony 🙂

@andregirao-tauffer thank you! Those were spontaneous studies – I will be doing more in the near future. I needed to fill another page in my sketchbook, so I grabbed a photo I had on my phone and drew from that. I love bird so that is probably why they came out ohk.

@Ramona – thanks so much! It was a good year. This year will be much more training focused.

@JoshuaJacobo – thanks! and I appreciate hearing that. The background inner critic wants to make you feel bad for being fatigued. Feeling better now – I still did my art but had two days off from study – that helped 🙂 Thanks for the encouragement.

yeah they are beautiful birds and full of character. used to get them too when i lived in melbourne 🙂 dont have them in tassie though

[Josseline Jeria]

I have been doing my daily challenge work, but a bit behind on the uploading on here. Here’s day 12 graphite – getting my cubing and ellipting on

[Josseline Jeria]

Day 13 – I’m wanting to do some oil portrait sketches in the coming weeks, so I am going to get some head study practice in to help with the painting. Very out of practice. I want to focus more on head construction – I’ll mostly stick to using the Reilly abstraction and planes, and some of Charles Hu’s content.

Day 14 – two weeks into the challenge!  graphite: Some duck studies and quick budgies sketches 🙂 I’d love to paint birds in the future, so learning how to draw them is the first step
