Week 2: 1000 days of drawing

Well, I've kept up the regular drawing! Albeit some days I don't draw, so I have to catch up the next day... Also I think it's pretty obvious when I draw something that interests me versus something that doesn't interest me.

Last week I found my favourite drawing was of my best friend, however this took me a few hours to do. I don't have a few hours to spend every day drawing, so I'm trying to limit myself to one hour. It stops me procrastinating and it forces me to work more efficiently.

I've had a really busy week socially, so while I've struggled to get my practise in I've also not really looked at any art-ish articles, or listened to anything inspiring. So without further ado here is what I've worked on this week!

Day 6: Favourite Book Character. The above is (supposed to be...) Vimes from Terry Pratchett's Discworld

Day 7: Favourite Word. I was really un-inspired for this one, I think I spent a grand total of 10 minutes on this. I really couldn't be arsed

Day 8: Favourite Animated Character. This is Randy Marsh from South Park. If you're interested as to why his ball-sack is in a wheelbarrow watch the Medicinal Fried Chicken episode

Day 9: Favourite TV Show. In my opinion this is the greatest TV show EVER!!

Day 10: Favourite Candy. My actual favourite candy is Bonfire Toffee, but as that would just look like black glass I thought this might be more interesting

Day 11: Turning Point in your Life. This is supposed to show the day I flew to Australia from the UK to backpack for a whole year!

Day 12: Most recent accomplishment. Regular readers will know I am a member of Slimming World, and I'm doing OK so far on it. The above is a representation of how I felt before and after. PS I'm not that thin

Day 13: Comic. I didn't read comics when I was younger, I was a bookworm, but when I ran out of reading material I would borrow my younger brother's comics. The Beano was about the only thing he read. The above is Dennis the Menace

Day 14: Favourite Fairytale. Again, I struggled to think of something for this, but eventually landed on The Ugly Duckling

1000 days of drawing

Sadly I haven't found any time to work on Tea Dogs this week... because I've been doing these instead!

Day 1: Draw yourself. I rushed this and to be frankly honest makes me look like a character from the first Sims game!

Day 2: Draw your favourite animal

Day 3: Draw your favourite food

Day 4: Draw your favourite place. This is Whitehaven Beach in Australia

Day 5: Draw your best friend

Day 6 (WIP): Draw your favourite book character that hasn't featured in a movie. Guess you guess who it is?

After being inspired by this dude over on DeviantArt:

I've started making a list of things to draw daily. I've found loads of lists on DeviantArt, but to me they're all a bit daft, like one day I'd have to draw 'sadness', so I'm making my own list :) Which I may or may not share, but doing this has sure as hell kept me accountable this week! I am a day behind though... as I didn't do any drawing yesterday!

Anyway, just to catch up on other news this week, we have a Bank Holiday this weekend, so I'm not at work tomorrow! Although work is still awesome :) And it's only 2 more weeks until my next holiday, bring it on!

I finally finished Imaginative Realism, and I'm sad to say I really didn't enjoy it. I'm now reading a book I got for free on Amazon called Bad Metal, which seems to be OK at the moment. And Terry Pratchett's final novel was released this week, although I'm still a few books behind before I get to his latest one.

And for Fat Fighters I lost a pound, which isn't as much as I was hoping, but better than nothing :) Not sure what will happen this week, as I went to the pub yesterday and had too much to drink...

Well, I've done about 5 hours of drawing with some procrastination thrown in for good measure. I've no plans tomorrow (unless I decide to paint the kitchen...), so I should get Day 6 & 7 finished tomorrow. Here's to a good week!
