Marjolein’s 100 Day Challenge: Sketchbook

[Marjolein P]

A week ago I started doing gesture drawings daily and would really want to be able to keep drawing daily. It’s kind of hard for me, following any form of shedule or routine. So I’ll honestly be happy if I can make it to 50. 😋

I like to draw in my sketchbook or digitally. From imagination or observation, landscapes or humans.

Gesture/figure drawing I did today.

Day 2. I started to experiment with crayons for gesture drawing, a quick portrait. It has a nice feel to it, going over the paper.

Hi Marjolein,

Good job working on these nice gestural poses. I sketched a little draw-over pointing out some errors in your contours and why they would be in a different place based on the large fundamental anatomical structures, the rib cage and pelvis.

Keep up the great work!

Thnx. That’s helpful, I haven’t done that much anatomy yet. ☺️

Day 3: Didn’t have that much time to draw..

Day 4; Some thumbnails. have to do more of these. 😅 I probably will do some gesture drawings later in the day.

Day 5; Had to rush a bit, but had fun doing it.

Day 6; I tried using watercolor with watercolor pencils, messed it up a bit.

Day 7; I’m not sure if I have the patience to draw bigger heads anymore. I’m just enjoying doing these for now. Mostly I just want to learn how to draw heads constructively. Still at the beginning of any head drawing course. So there is still lots of improvement there. ☺️

Day 8; Way too hot here.. 🥵

Day 10; It started to annoy me that I drew my short timed gestures pretty large and not getting any real shapes, definition in them with the 1 or 2 min poses. So I just tried to restrict myself, see which sizes would still be workable for me. They’re looking kinda funny, but oh well. I’ve been watching more videos today, so not a lot of actual drawing.

Day 11; The proportions aren’t the best. Ended up spending too much time on it, wasn’t my intention.
