All my creative pursuits.
A biweekly drawing challenge for a total of 26 drawings this year.
So far, it’s just my friend Prema and me taking on the challenge so if you’d like to join us, you’re more than welcome! Just say hello in the comments so I can follow along. The drawing should be completed within two weeks, when the next theme is posted on January 19th.
The first drawing of 2019 has the theme: “Face” the Future. To get a peek ahead at the upcoming themes find the chart here.
I’ve made up a new list of prompts for another year of drawing adventurously. This year, I am scaling the challenge down by half to 26 drawings instead of 52. I hope that spending more time on each drawing will yield a better result.
Here is the chart for 26 drawings in 2019. Posted every other Sunday, beginning January 5, 2019. All are welcome to join me.
Following the chart to 52 drawings this year.
My how the year has flown by. I hope you have enjoyed my drawing adventure. I attempted this challenge in order to stretch my drawing skills and force myself to practice each week. The benefits have been that I drew some subject matter that I probably wouldn’t have attempted if it weren’t for the prompt each week. On the other hand, I feel like I rushed through some of these drawings instead of taking my time and really “seeing” the subject of my piece. That is not a good method for improving. Going forward I think I will attempt fewer drawings but spend more time on each one. For my final drawing, my choice is to share with you the piece I am most proud of. Though I didn’t draw it this year, it is my best work. I say goodbye to 2018 with a portrait of my favorite poet: W.B. Yeats.
