So the original drawing challenge #16 was to draw an owl in an iconic style. I started it, but somehow never got around to completing it. I guess I found it boring and not challenging enough. Anyway, months passed, and I still hadn’t done it. I suppose I could simply have moved on to theContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 16”

Drawing Challenge #Day 13
Ok, so this is not out of the 21 Day Challenge course. Exercising my own free will, I am substituting the challenge in the course with some artwork that I did for my office this week. I participated in a collaborative art project for Women In Technology (WIT). Each participant received a package containing artContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 13”
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”
Drawing Challenge #Day 9
Day 9’s challenge was to look at images of some man-made, mechanical objects that were provided as reference and then draw out one of them as precisely as possible. No tracing was allowed, and we were free to apply some amount of creative license in our approach. The objective is to be realistic, but notContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 9”
Drawing Challenge #Day 8
Day 8’s challenge was to add shading to a given image based on the defined light source. The same image was repeated multiple time in the reference sheet, with the light coming in at different angles in each variation. We were supposed to print out the reference sheet and add in shadows in each imageContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 8”
Drawing Challenge #Day 7
Day 7’s challenge had simple instructions – draw any subject you are passionate about. However, the challenge was not that easy to complete, I thought about it a little and decided to draw my pet dog, Cheeku. As of now, although I’m fairly decent at drawing after looking at an existing drawing or photo (inContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 7”
Drawing Challenge #Day 6
Day 6’s challenge was to draw one of the four suggested subjects in Cubist style, which was made popular by Pablo Picasso. Frankly, I must say I don’t really ‘get’ Picasso or the Cubism style. In many of the Picasso’s paintings, I can’t even figure what exactly is being depicted. The course I’m doing alsoContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 6”
Drawing Challenge #Day 5
Last couple of days were extra busy at work so I couldn’t get back to the drawing challenge. So I can see that I’m not going to finish the 21 Day challenge in 21 calendar days. Might get spread over a couple of months. Anyway, Day 5’s challenge was to pick and draw any oneContinue reading “Drawing Challenge #Day 5”
