30 Day Drawing Challenge: Days 18 & 19

Oops! Missed another day. Sorry! Yesterday's drawing challenge was "Just a Doodle" and the today's (the 19th) challenge is "Something New".

Day 18-

Just a simple flower

Day 19-

Beat-up legs

I know, what a weird thing to draw! But I wanted to change it up and instead of drawing something new I saw or bought, I'd draw a change on me. With summer comes beat up legs! Scratches, mosquito bites, bruises, scrapes, etc.! For me, I have scratched up legs and a couple of bruises- I don't know how they got there, but it's interesting nonetheless!

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 12

Today's drawing challenge is to draw my most recent accomplishment. This really is a challenge! Just like yesterday's challenge, I had a hard to thinking about a recent accomplishment. When does anyone really have accomplishments? Not to sound like a downer, but unless you invented, won, or aced something, what can really be considered an accomplishment? I can't think of anything recent that I've done that makes me proud of myself. I'm not the type of person to be proud of myself. Actually, I'm very hard on myself, so anything that may seem like an accomplishment to someone isn't an accomplishment to me. So, instead of drawing something that actually made me feel accomplished, I'll draw a recent something that made me feel happy for a moment with myself.

Okay, yes, it's something a little silly, but I was a little proud of myself! I've been wanting something and the only place I could find it was eBay for a decent price. But that "decent" price was still too pricey for me. So, hoping for the best, I sent the seller a message through eBay and asked if he could lower the price to $10 cheaper. He actually agreed, and that item will be here tomorrow! I'll reveal what it is once I have it :) Stay tuned!

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 10

Today's drawing challenge was to draw my favorite candy. I'm not a very big candy person, but I do love 3 Musketeers chocolate bars!

Yes, I drew this! Ack, it took like 45 minutes to do but it came out amazingly! I'm so happy with it! My fingers hurt a little but it's okay! I spent a lot of time blending, matching colors, everything! I'm so happy with how it turned out

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 5

Today's drawing challenge is to draw my best friend. I don't have one specific best friend... I have two. I didn't want to draw two people (I'm terrible), so I chose the friend I knew for the longest!

I've known her since my first year in high school... probably within the first month, since we shared Computer class with her (I think I was the only one who found that class helpful!). She's probably the sweetest person I know! She's incredibly intelligent and funny!

I think from now on I'll just be using the basic Bamboo app and the more fancy one. Turns out the fancy one is basically just for creating backgrounds! Also, I like the basic one because of their pencil brushes.
I'm planning on trying out watercolors or colored pencils one of these days when I come across a challenge that peaks my interest!

I will be back later in the afternoon posting a "Recent Purchases"

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 3

Today's challenge is to draw my favorite food. This was pretty difficult. While playing around on my tablet, I was drawing different foods, trying to figure out what my favorite food was. When asked (this is a question one is asked a lot in their lifetime) what my favorite food is, I usually say soup. So I went with that! But what kind of soup?

Tomato Bisque Soup! Now if any of you have eaten tomato soup, you may be grossed out- but tomato BISQUE soup is wonderful! I've tried it from several different restaurants and I've loved each and every one (specifically, my favorite has been a vegan tomato bisque from a restaurant in Chicago!).

I spent a bit more time on this drawing. I even added background color and shading (still no blending, though)! Also, I promise my handwriting isn't that horrible. It's more difficult writing with a tablet.

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 2

Today's 30 Day Drawing Challenge is "Favorite Animal". I had a hard time picking what my favorite animal was. I love most animals, but if I really had to choose, I would pick a teacup pig (or any pig in general). They are just so adorable and little and I could go on all day talking about them. I have yet to actually see a pig in recent years (I did when I was young) so I'm hoping to go to a petting zoo this year!

Here is my Day 2 drawing of a teacup pig:

You can always click on the photos to see them larger~

Not bad, not bad. It's based off that famous photo of a teacup pig in rain boots. I drew this using that same Bamboo Tablet App. I'm hoping I can find something better to use since I can't even shade or blend or have layers with this app.

30 Day Drawing Challenge: Day 1

During the month of June, I will be doing a fun little challenge every day! I found this 30 Day Drawing Challenge on Jorge Garcia's blog (Hurley from Lost) and after looking through all his drawings (which are surprisingly amazing??), I decided it would be fun to do it on my blog! The topics for each day are very interesting and I figured it would also be interesting to see if there was any progress in my drawing/tablet abilities. Currently I'm only using a small Bamboo Tablet app on my laptop so there won't be any fancy brushes or effects. Anywho, here is the challenge:

I look Asian?? I don't know... in my eyes (ha), I have very almond shaped eyes. Also, I drew my face too puffy. I was using my webcam as a mirror this morning and it came out decent. Keep in mind I haven't drawn in months. I also haven't drawn with my tablet in ages, so I'm rusty. ALSO, this only took a couple of minutes. There will be days when I spend more time on a drawing and days when I just do a quick sketch!

This project will be fun! If I accidentally skip a day, I will be sure to post the drawing the next day!
