Day 34- Break Day

This is actually a painting not a drawing (but in my defense I did have to draw it all out before I painted it, at least I think I did, that's normal what I do), I was too lazy to go upstairs and pull a sketchbook out of the closet and pick an old picture to do, and this is at the bottom of the stairs so I took the easy way out. Don't judge. You'd do it too if you were me. My husband is home tonight and wants to hang out with me and is playing video games waiting very patiently for me to finish blogging. I did this painting in high school, it hangs in our entry way now. This picture has horrible lighting and doesn't do it justice, so instead I think I will post the picture I have put on facebook and instagram and my blog, in like 5 different ways. Or just link back to my other post of it I'm super in love with my parents chairs right now so that's why I keep posting them!

poor lighting AND out of focus, can you tell it's late and I'm tired?

Day 28- Break Day

In honor of the cool pointillism painting my dad found while we were thrift shopping this week and the pointillism picture I did of the ammonite, today's picture is one from high school. It is a pointillism doodle I did in high school, sadly it has one line in it that was an accident but sad all the same. I also have no more interesting things to type up this time. I'm currently watching Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring with my husband, and I'm ready to be done typing and cuddle with him to watch the movie. Nights with him are quite rare around these parts because he works nights, and I kinda like him and want to cuddle him.

Day 14- Break

Break day again! Thank goodness. There is no way I could make it through an entire year of this, it's really hard to find the time to do this and actual dedicate and apply myself to whatever it is I am drawing. That drawing of my dog earlier this week, it took me over 2 hours to work on, and it still wasn't quite perfect. Today's picture is another one from out of my high school art class sketchbook. It is some roses that were in my mom's garden. I think they were yellow roses.

Day 7- Break Day

Creating every day is exhausting, I forgot how long it takes to draw an actual good picture and how much effort I have to put into it if I'm actually applying myself. I decided that since the Creators of our world got to take a break on the 7th day, then the creator of this blog and these pictures gets to take a break too. But that's not quite as much fun, so I decided on the 7th day, I'm going to post a picture from an old sketchbook. Some will be from high school, some from college, some doodles, some assignments from former art classes, some from sketches not associate with school.
Today's picture I did in high school. This is still one of my favorite sketches. It is a reflection, I believe the back side of a spoon.

I also took my mom's suggestion and just took photographs of my sketches this week. It was very time consuming to scan them. I think some detail is lost, but not a whole ton, I thing the bigger difference is just the color quality of the picture, it appears much darker than actual sketch which is drawn on a white sketchpad.
