And so this is it...the end of #the100dayproject2021...and I completed it with 100 mixed media eye drawings! Yay! Go me! *high fives all around*
Meet 97/100.
And 98/100.
Say hello to 99/100.
And the finale - mixed media eye 100/100. :)
Gotta say that yesterday was a weird day because I did not have to do an eye drawing. I had gotten so used to devoting 60 minutes a day on each drawing. I need to find another series of projects to work on. Any ideas? *winks*
I can't believe that I have done 96 eye drawings since January 31 this year. Some have been pretty shady (pun intended) but most have actually turned out quite decent. *self-praise* Hahaha!
Meet 90/100.
Since I was getting too comfortable with my choice of mixed media materials, I decided to add some new friends to the mix...like my highly neglected Caran d'Ache Neocolor II water-soluble crayons. :)
This was 91/100.
And now I might have a slight obsession with the ArtGraf watehrsouble pencil in gray. I have had it for years and never used it. Now that I've actually used it, I can't seem to get enough of it. I should stop buying art supplies and just shop my stash...it's clear that I own some good stuff. *winks*
Say hi to 92/100.
Played with darks for 93/100.
A muted colour palette for 94/100.
Tried a textured Kraft paper for 95/100 and hated it because it was so hard to blend.
Went for bold and colourful for 96/100.
There you have it, yet another week in eye drawings. Just 4 more and I would successfully complete #the100dayproject2021! Pretty excited to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! :)
Another week has gone by and here are my eye drawings for #the100dayproject. :)
Meet 83/100.
And today's eye..89/100.
Almost to the finishing line...can't wait to finish up the last 11 days so that I can draw something else. *LOL*
With less than 3 weeks to go on #the100dayproject, I am finally getting into a comfy drawing routine. And by does it take discipline. I'm not going to lie, the first few weeks were hard and I fell behind by 10 days and did really want to give up. But I failed miserably in 2020 and decided that 2021 was NOT going to be the same. I finally caught up by the halfway mark (I had to draw and paint 2-3 eyes per day in a week). And I have not fallen behind since. *triumphant music plays in the background*
Not every eye is a masterpiece...like 77/100.
Or 78/100.
But every eye is a learning journey and a chance to show my art supplies some love. :)
And an opportunity to try out different angles..79/100.
Within a self-imposed time limit on each piece so that I'm forced to complete it as best as I can within that time frame of 90 minutes max...80/100.
When you fuss around less, you get things done a lot faster...81/100.
One of the greatest gains of this project is that I've fallen back in love with watercolours again. A good thing since I spent a fortune on my "collection" *winks* You can really do drama and transparency with watercolours....82/100. :)
Happy Thursday friends! :)
So I've been really enjoying my watercolours lately...as evidenced by the entire week of eye drawings so far. I love the translucency of the colours as you layer them. Of course, I tend to go overboard with them and then try to "save" the eye drawing with coloured pencils. *LOL*
Meet 62/100.
Not sure about the brows for 63/100.
Okay I'm really into this shade of pink...64/100.
The side eye for 65/100.
Went for the unblended look for 66/100.
So I was really heavy-handed with the layering of the watercolours...and had to venture into the dark side for 67/100.
And today's brooding eye 68/100.
I think I'm getting better at the brow game? What do you think?
And 55/100...I had a long day but forced myself to just get a decent eye drawing done....so here's tired eye. *winks*
What do you think?
This gal is furiously trying to play catchup with her eye drawings for #the100dayproject...still behind by 9 days even though she's been doing 2 eye sketches a day. *LOL*
This is 22/100.
Here is 23/100.
And 24/100.
This is 25/100.
Here is 26/100.
I've been having a lot of fun just playing with colours. :)
Happy weekend friends!
