Week 3: 1000 days of drawing

Hi all, it's getting late on Sunday evening, and I've had a very busy weekend redecorating my house and packing for holiday (again)! I've also found 4+ hours to draw today, and it's substandard, I'm not happy with it.

Anyway, before I go to bed I'll share with you this week's drawings. I'm still enjoying the daily challenge, however I'm having a break from it this week. I'll take my tablet on holiday with me, but I doubt inspiration will hit as I'll be in the pub for most of it! Maybe I'll do what this guy did... http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/sep/07/michigan-tech-student-drunk-designed-plane-twitter-viral-mark-keith

15. Family Portrait. I ran out of time to add the facial features, but on reflection I'm glad I didn't as I wouldn't want to you see them, or for me to do them an injustice with this image!

16. Inspiration. I was trying to use Bobby Chiu as inspiration but it wound up nothing like what he produces, oops! I was also playing around with a different brush option in Photoshop. I'm not sure if I like it yet.

17. Favourite plant. Mine is the daffodil!

18. Just doodle. Did this at the pub while doing a pub quiz. Everyone thought I was being antisocial!

19. Something new. This tomato was picked fresh off my tomato plant just before I drew it. Now it's been peeled and put in my freezer for later consumption.

20. Something Orange. I don't really own anything orange, but a suggestion made to me was to draw The Orange Box. I spent far too long on it though.

21. Something You Want. This was quickly rushed, as I want to go to bed. However I want to be recognised as an artist, although the above is symbolic of an art gallery I don't necessarily want this to be how I'm recognised (although I wouldn't complain)!

The start of Tea Dogs

I've done some more work on my Tea Dogs piece, although I found working out the shape of a German Shepherd's face more hard work than I realised!

The spaniel was easy for me though as I used to have one :) If anyone has any good captions let me know and I'll include it!

I've read some more of Imaginative Realism, and it's only as I've got tot he end of the book I'm coming across the section where there's a 'call-to-action'. I'm still not impressed with this book, and I'll be glad when I finish it.

Also in the UK there's a new 'theme park' opened called Dismaland, by Banksy. I wish I could go as it looks very interesting, there's a review of it here: http://www.creativebloq.com/street-art/why-banksys-dismaland-better-youd-ever-expected-81516387

I've been so good on fat fighters this week that I'm expecting a half-decent weight loss, I think I might cry if I don't :( I even abstained from having anything bad at a family BBQ yesterday, and hardly drank anything alcoholic, so it would be nice to see my efforts pay off.

Anyway, I hope to get Tea Dogs finished off this week (although I have a pretty action-packed week ahead of me), have a good week!
