90 Minute Art Challenge- Mermaid Life Drawing Session

 I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting as much depth and scope when it came to drawing mermaids. But there were plenty of different models to tackle, of all shapes and sizes and genders. It was a pleasant challenge. That's all I got to say about this week's challenge.

 

90 Minute Art Challenge- Big Cats Life Drawing Session

 I managed to do this during this live stream once again, and this time it was on the theme of big cats. I'm not confident on depicting the anatomy of these animals, but I love trying to emulate the tonal effects that their furs and manes were doing in these studies. This was a good one to do... and now I got to do mermaids next week - well, it is MerMay, right? 

90 Minute Art Challenge- Mr Global Life Drawing Session

Well, that's one A3 sketchbook filled. I finally finished it by doing last week's challenge. I'm using an old A4 sketchbook I found when sorting out my shelves the other day. I might use the scanner on my printer, as I'm not sure about scanning the fold like that for these studies. This Mr Global theme was very good for tackling costume, as we were drawing male models in different costumes representing different countries - I think I had just as much fun guessing which country they were from as just drawing these studies! 

So, this is well worth doing if you want to challenge yourself in drawing more costumes. 

 

90 Minute Art Challenge- Star Wars Movie Stills Study

 Life kind of got in the way of getting around to scanning these studies from the Star Wars films, which I did actually did live on May the Fourth. I wasn't 100% confident drawing these iconic characters, but I think I learnt a thing or two whilst doing them. Anyways, I am about to completely fill up this old A3 pad with all of these recent challenges, dating back to last December (I thought I was doing this latest batch of challenges for much longer!) So I'll be saving those last pages to do this next's week batch of 5 and 10-minute challenges. I might treat myself to a new A3 pad (or two!) before I move out of here later in the year.
