Sketchbook Challenge – Day 27

Day 27 – Draw a view from one of your rooms inside your dwelling.

Maybe you are sitting in bed early in the morning. What do you see off in front of you?

Or, maybe you are sitting at the kitchen table. What do you see when you look straight ahead? 

Perhaps you have a comfy chair in your living room. You can probably turn your head a variety of ways to find a view you would like to capture in your sketchbook!

It can be a wide perspective or a small one. Be brave. Try to capture the angle of where you are viewing that particular part of the room. Maybe set up a vanishing point to help guide your lines. No need to get too technical. It can be wonky and scribbly. And, it can be as detailed as you have time and patience for.

Sketchbook Challenge – Day 24

Welcome to Day 24. Can you believe this month is almost over? And, can you believe you have been sketching every day? Yay! 

Even if you haven’t, not to worry! Just pick up a pencil and start again. 

OK! Here we go…Today’s prompt is to draw an animal. 

It can be any animal of your choice–real or imagined. Use a real model or a photograph. If a photograph, try to pick one with strong contrast.

Remember, try to see the animal as shapes and values, rather than see it as the finished animal. Drawing is a  matter of seeing, and the more sketchbook practice you do of learning to see, the easier it will get. I do solemnly swear!

May you render your animal freely!
