Day 29-30 Selfie

So the last challenge for the 30 powders in 30 days is a selfie. I went a lttle different than I did with Albert Eistein but the results still not good.  I'm so not good at portraits. 

That being said I so enjoyed this challenge. Even though I can't draw very well I learned a lot. I never considered using my fingers. I learned everything is a tool from a fork, to rubber tool to feathers. 

I am going to do more drawings thats for sure. And with more time I might get better.     

Sorry to see it end. I learned so much and had a lot of fun.

Days 27 & 28

Wow We were supose to draw Albert Einstein and as you can see I'm horrible with portraits. I used my trusty vanilla base and black frit.  It was really difficult for me. Clearly I won't be drawing portriats!  We had 2 days to do it but since I was behind and wanted to finish on time I finished in one day.

Day 26 - 2 handed tree

Day 26 is also a tree but there is a big twist. We had to draw the tree from the bottom up so we turned it upside down and draw the tree from the bottom side up. Additionally the right side was drawn with my right hand and the left side with my left hand. Quite a challenge.  

I used a vanilla base and black frit. If you look straight at it the right side was my left hand and the left side is with my right. Still  it was a struggle to separate the left from the right. 

on to day 27

Day 25 - Tree with left hand

Today's post is based on Day 25.  The challenged involved drawing a tree with my nondominant hand i.e. my left hand. As you cn see I struggled  with it.  My left hand was so shakey. I never noticed how my hand shook so much. 

I used my fingers and a business card.  I just used a vanilla base and black frit. It looks like a skeleton tree!

I'm actually behind quite a bit but I didn't want to stop the challenge.

Day 24 - left hand tree

Day 24 a tree without using our dominant hand. wow that was pretty tough for me. I don't use my left hand much.

I just used my fingers, vanilla base, and black frit.

it looks like a monster tree!  Not good. definately need more practice with my left hand!

day 23 collection

day 23 is a freedom day we were supposed to draw something we collect. Since I served 22 years in the Air Force I have collected everything from knives to dolls. One thing I've collected all over the world is vases.  The collectable I chose isn't a vase but a cup. It's from the Czech Republic and it's for drinking the mineral water.  I have several of them they are so cool.

As always I just used a vanilla base and black frit.

Day 22 sharp and tiny

Day 22 is a safety pin and it was harder than you'd think.  As always I used a vanilla base with black frit. To get a straight line I used a razor blad in addition to my fingers and my rubber tool.

on to day 23. I liked it better when I just did it once a day. but I've learned so much from this challenge.
