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.

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 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”
