It took me much longer than a week, due to the flu, but I eventually finished them all. I also was colouring some of them in and still want to colour in the rest. I really struggled in the end to get to 100 but I can also see a definite improvement from the first page. I haven’t been drawing people for a while, so this was a great exercise.
Next I think I will do 100 animals 🙂
Another page coloured in….I spent maybe 3 min on each sketch and then another 5 min to colour it in.
I got knocked out by the flu last week… fun times… But I managed to make it to 71 people so far. I will keep on going all the way to 100 until the end of this week. It also takes me longer as I want to colour them all in.
Here come number 10 to 14. Combination of watercolour, coloured pencils and for number 12-14 I used olive green ink for the outline that I bought some time ago but never used.
Love how these 4 turned out. I am using the opportunity to have fun with different styles and mediums. Used a mix of sienna ink, watercolour and coloured pencils for these.
It´s time again for this fun annual art challenge – One week 100 people. And it´s exactly that, you got one week to draw 100 people in any way you like.
I am using the opportunity to challenge myself to do some quick character sketches by using pinterest as inspiration. So far I´ve been having fun with it. Are you taking part in the challenge?
Changed perspective for this one.
More watercolour and ink.
Have a great week!
Last but not least, another classroom scene.
I was just thinking, would it be a interesting to do a children´s book with these images? A book with no words, but plenty to discover for kids? Let me know what you think.
And what kind of pet could be missing from the terrarium?
Have a great weekend!
Another classroom another scene.
What kind of pets did you have when you grew up?
This was my first attempt at a full scene in watercolour and ink, where I put the characters of the previous posts into action.
I am very happy how it turned out. Any comments and criticisms are welcome 🙂
Did you ever take your pet to school?
Another character sketch. This time with pencil outline, just to try something different.
I don´t like how the dog turned out, but I actually like the softer pencil outline of the girl. What do you think? Do you prefer this over ink?
Tried something slightly different with this guy. Instead of the usual ink I used a coloured pencil for the outline.
What do you think?
Another kid with her pet. Is it just me or do her eyebrows make her look like she is planning to cook the pig…. ? 😀
Watercolour and ink.
Another character design practice for Take Your Pet to School Day.
Watercolour on paper.
Part of my character design practice from last year for Take Your Pet to School Day.
Do you have a pet?
Time to revive my blog!
While I am working on something new, I am updating my portfolio with some older illustrations that I did a bit more than a year ago. Now properly scanned in. The idea was to practice character design. For this I chose the title Take Your Pet to School Day.
