So finally I reached the last challenge of the 21 Day Drawing Challenge. Okay, okay, let’s not dwell on the fact that it took me a year to complete a “21 Day” challenge. The important thing is that I’ve completed it, right? Let me just drop the “Day” aspect and say the 21st (and last)Continue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 21”

Drawing Challenge #Day 20
Ooooh! I haven’t posted a blog for a couple of months. In my defense, I’ve mentally written at least ten to twelve posts, including one listing all my excuses for not posting a blog for so long. It’s weird that even though I love writing, how often I can find excuses for not actually settlingContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 20”
Drawing Challenge #Day 19
The 19th drawing challenge today was to take a sheet of paper and fill the entire sheet with as many different faces as we could draw. The challenge was to draw out as many diverse personalities as we could to cover the entire surface of the paper. Not necessarily human faces. We could draw aliens, monsters, or animal faces as well. The ideaContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 19”
Drawing Challenge #Day 18
Cardboard doodles Day 18 of the drawing challenge was to draw a ‘cardboard doodle’. Wait, before you start googling (I did), that’s not an actual drawing term. It’s simply a term that the instructor invented for the doodles he makes on the cardboard backing of his drawing notepads. So the challenge was to draw aContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 18”
Drawing Challenge #Day 17
Day 17’s drawing challenge was to make two eye drawings. First we had to draw an eye as realistically as we could. Once we had done that, we had to draw a second eye, which was as graphically simple as possible. The objective of this challenge was to explore the polar opposites of the visual solution. According to the instructor,Continue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 17”
Drawing Challenge #Day 15
The Day 15 Challenge was to draw four dinosaurs, a Brontosaurus, a Stegosaurus, a Tyrannosaurus Rex and a Pterodactyl, but all within the limitation of three-inch square boxes. The real challenge here was to figure out how to fit their divergent shapes into one common, geometric composition — a square. I found it easiest to fit the pterodactyl into theContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 15”
Drawing Challenge #Day 14
Day 14’s challenge is to distort boring reality into something more interesting. The reference photo shows an old, balding man walking in the rain with a package in one hand and an umbrella in the other. The challenge is to translate it into a more dramatic, dynamic drawing. In the reference photo, the man’s poseContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 14”
Drawing Challenge #Day 12
Using the Metaphorical Approach Day 12’s challenge was to use visual metaphors to depict the following terms, without using words, letters, or faces: Hope Anguish Curiosity Mystery As per Wikipedia, a visual metaphor is a pictorial analogy. It illustrates a comparison between what is in the visual with the meaning of another thing that it is representingContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 12”
Drawing Challenge #Day 11
Well, I’m officially halfway through the 21 day challenge. Day 11’s challenge was to draw a monster! Not something you have ever seen on TV or comics, but a monster straight out of your imagination. I started thinking about the kind of beings scare me the most and the thing that kept coming to myContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 11”
Drawing Challenge #Day 10
Day 10’s challenge is pretty simple – I just needed to fill up a page with doodles. Wikipedia defines a doodle as “a drawing made while a person’s attention is otherwise occupied.” I was a doodler throughout my school and college days. Now, I doodle in office meetings. Although some people think equate doodling toContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 10”
