I finally got around to doing this week's 90 Minute Art Challenge, which was on the theme of toy dogs - and not the ones that are actually toys to my disappointment. Anyway, this was interesting and pretty straightforward as I was trying to understand the form of these animals. I was also using some recently discovered stationary that has been on a shelf for years, so I was just as much playing with these tools more than anything else.
After attempting to draw vehicles, getting back to drawing figures again, like this week's 90 Minute Art Challenge about Vikings, was rather refreshing. I'm gradually using up these pencils that I have been using for weeks, which is good as I don't want to take lots of stubby pencils when I do move out of the county. So I like the experimentation of coloured and lead pencils, as it gives some rather dynamic effects, such as some of the latter 10-minute pieces.
I'm a bit uncertain about next week's topic... but that might be because I think 'toy dogs' as toys rather than actual dogs. But next week's topic on animals will be an interesting challenge for me to do.
