FINAL Day!!! Snail



My 30 days is finished! I did them all!!! I completed a project! Didn't get all of them posted on the exact days, but it was still fun. Time to extend it to 60 days? We will see! But here is a snail in my numbers to animals book for children. I went a little off from their direction.

Day 29: Sunset



Day 29! I had to create an assignment for class, so I made a sunset where I used the monochromatic scale. All colors are from one side of the color scale. I could only use red, yellow, and orange. In order to get the colors brighter or darker, I had to add white and black, but kept them all in the same zone of the original colors. Nothing was pure white, and nothing was pure black.

Day 28: Contour of Rooftops



Day 28, almost there! An outlined contour of the neighbors rooftops I drew with ink on my patio. Gotta keep it simple and sweet right?


Day 27: Neighbors Dog



Day 27, the neighbors doberman was sitting outside, so I drew a quick sketch of him before he was called in to eat. He almost has the contours of a cat. This was created with marker.

Day 26: Key Contour



Day 26 finished and only 4 left! An outlined contour of my keys I did without looking at my paper. My professor taught me to do this, to train your eyes to feel all the edges and angles of the lines. They usually come out pretty crazy, but it's interesting to see how all the lines work together.

Day 25: Mini Sleeping Twitter Bird



Day  25 is acrylic on mini canvas. Another twitter bird apart of my series. This one is sleeping on a branch in the night sky. This mini canvas is for sale at my etsy shop as well at

Day 24: Jaguar Study - Muscles



Day 24! Part two to my jaguar study. This is a pencil drawing of his muscular structure. The Weatherly Guide to Drawing Animals explains how, in order to draw the subject better, you have to have an understanding of its structure, and what's inside of it. To see how it moves properly, you have to know all of the components. For example, when the left foot is forward, which muscles are working, and which are relaxed will create the different angles in the body. This applies to any subject really. Especially in animation.

Day 23: Jaguar Study - Skeletal



Day 23, almost there! A pencil drawing showing the skeletal structure of the inside of a jaguar. As seen from my Weatherly guide to drawing animals book. For anyone that's interested in animals, I definitely recommend this book. It teaches you the drawing of different species from the inside out,and focusing on their movement.
