Welcome, Ian! Excellent start and hope you find lots of inspiration to keep you going. Also a musician and photographer by trade who recently (last couple years) got into art again. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
Thank you so much for the encouragement, Joshua! I spread this out during 5 days. First say was a simple shape line sketch which I took my time with. Then each day I broke the face up in parts. What I found with this was I just wasn’t motivated to do any of the parts I broke up for myself. This non-motivation really messed with my internal dialogue. Like ‘why am I even doing this’, and ‘I suck’! This was the first time I had to wrestle with this to this extreme over 5 days. After experiencing this I am really finding it hard to start back up again. Yeah so I’m in a slump. 🙁
Days 18-21 This was the toughest one yet! It made me doubt all my capabilities and put me in a bit of depression. However, I soldiered on and finished it. I might redo this down the road to try to overcome the mental hurdle it put me through. Looking forward to doing something a little more calming!
Thanks, David…same to you!
May 5, 2020 at 4:33 pm in reply to: David’s 100-Day Challenge – Draw something, draw anything #510979Welcome, David! I, too, am in a similar situation…came back to art after a 25+ year hiatus. Last major art piece I worked on was freshman year of college back in ’92. Joined NMA after a new career path ignited the love for art again.
I like your value study and looking forward to seeing more! Enjoy the practice and challenge!
Hi Dominika! Thank you so very much for taking the time and giving your wonderful assessment! I do see what you mean about her arm/shoulder. I think a bit more midtones closing in on the highlight would help it, maybe? Her eyelashes were fake and I did not like how ‘perfectly in place’ they appeared. However, I kept them as is. I do struggle with going off on my own (trusting my gut) and changing things in the image because I try so hard to copy the image exact. This is definitely one of the many areas I am working on. Thank you, again!! I truly appreciate all of the insight you gave! 🙂
Great start! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
These are great! Looking forward to seeing your progress!
Thank you so much, Shazad!!
