One Week 100 People – Day 3
Tried a bit of pencil drawing today. It´s been a while.
One Week 100 People – Day 2
The next 20 people. Went a little bit quicker this time but still way longer than anticipated.
World Watercolor Month Wrap-Up
Finished later than planned but eventually did it. My 31 prompts for World Watercolour Month of 2019. In addition to following the prompt list I also tried to incorporate a traveller theme.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I feel that I got a lot faster at sketching, and proportions and people come easier to me now after a month (and a half) of almost consistent daily drawing. I will definitely keep going. Time to look for another challenge… Any suggestions?
Which one is your favourite?
I think mine are the pooping monkeys (#22) and me relaxing in the hammock (#16).

#OneWeek100People2019 – Day 3
I managed to colour in Day 3 of the One Week 100 People challenge yesterday. I also finished the last couple of people during the weekend, so I made it to 100 with a bit of delay! But I really had fun with it. Will post the remainder in the following days.
#OneWeek100People2019 – Day 3-5
So the One Week 100 People challenge finished. I made it to around 80, not counting the little shadows in the background. So with them I think I got the 100!
Started off rather tense and stressed of how and what to draw but I think I got more loose during the week. I think I also got a hang on how to draw feet and hands a little bit better and a better idea about people´s movement in general. So all in all I think this was a great success and great practice that I should do more often!
Any suggestions for another similar challenge out there? I need a bit of preasure to get motivated.
I will finish the remainder of people this weekend. I also want to colour them in and work on my watercolouring a bit.
#OneWeek100People2019 – Day 2
This was Day 2 of the #OneWeek100People2019 challenge.
We had more rain, so I am sticking to the same theme. I am trying to get a better idea of people´s posture while moving and also to be more lose in my style… I am not counting the tiny shapes in the background. So I still have about 20 people to go today.
Inktober Day 9 – Precious
If the chicken needs a break, you can hop on your precious dragon to take you places.
I wish he could take me to work right now, so I´d avoid the traffic.
What does the flying bottle do there you might wonder? I thought about a snitch first, which turned into a bottle of beer, which is the carrot for the dragon to keep him going the right direction.
Inktober Day 7 – Exhausted
She tried to have a cake/cup cake eat off with the drooling dog but had to give up first because she was exhausted.
Inktober Day 6 – Drooling
Prompt number 6 for #Inktober. First thing that came to mind was of course dogs!
Sunday brunch with ice cream
Last day of the week and I thought that a nice pancake lunch would be perfect to finish it off. So dig in!
Had a lot of fun doing these 7 day drawing challenge and might do another one soon. I also ended up buying more watercolours last week so lets see what happens.
Relax and enjoy your Saturday ice cream
I love whiskey. Especially the slightly smoky kinds like Talisker and the more well rounded ones like Glenlivet are perfect on a cozy evening.
Vanilla ice cream is the perfect starter for this Saturday night.
Your well deserved after-work-treat
I am really enjoying this themed 7 day challenge. 2 more days to go.
Finally its Friday and what is better than a cold one straight after work I thought?
Extra sugar on Thursday
The week is more than half way over, so you might need a little bit of extra sugar to keep you going until the weekend.
These ones are more of the typical Icelandic style kind of ice creams that you get at most ice cream parlors. Soft ice cream in a box with any kind of topping you can think of – From Mars bars, to Oreos, Smarties, Skittles, coconut bars, biscuits and much much more and everything topped with chocolate and caramel sauce. Don´t forget the cream!
If that doesn´t give you a sugar high then I don´t know.
It´s all going down on Wednesday
During the last couple of months I definitely got into the positive habit of drawing regularly. After not drawing and painting a lot for the last couple of years I now cannot imaging to do it at least several times a week. They say a new habit takes about 21 days to form. It certainly worked for me. Next step is to try to apply it to my language studies… Spanish next and then back to Icelandic…
I love how this one turned out. It was snowing and I love snow. But it is also time to shovel it up.
Have your pick of ice cream on Tuesday
Day 2 of my 7 day challenge. Monday went well so you can have your pick with your Tuesday ice cream. Which one do you want?
Monday ice cream
I thought about joining another one of those drawing challenges as it was a lot of fun doing Inktober, but I couldn´t find anything that interested me. So I decided to do my own 7 day challenge of one drawing a day… dedicated to ice cream of course! I will keep the ice cream theme up for another week or so because after that I will hit the road and am off to explore Mexico! But more about that later.
For now, fight the Monday blues with your ice cream of the day – Voilà!
