Day 21 of the 21 day challenge



And the challenge comes to an end! It is sad on my part that the challenge took way longer than what I had really really hoped for.. 3 weeks became 5 weeks.. It was the last 3 days of the drawings that dragged on and on and on for 2 additional weeks :(. You know what they say is true, you have to be in the mood for it! 
I have cheated.. but, can I please still count this as my 21 day challenge? I haven't worked on art so much as I have in the last 5 weeks, so I got that going for me :). And I got to try sooo many different media.. I absolutely loved that. Ah the subtlety of watercolors, the accessibility of oil pastels, the no-mess versatility of the digital medium - fantastic. Having said that, I still believe I love holding the brush more than anything else. 

So the 21st piece is here - explores the perspectives of curves.. A coffee mug in an aerial view, vs a frontal view. The cup in the frontal view took more time to draw than I would like to admit. I hope it looks appealing. 




I do hope to continue posting on this blog in the future. So do keep an eye on it. There's so much I still need to try - charcoals, gouache, oil. Oh I can't wait :)..

The ultimate lesson I learnt during the challenge - life is going to keep getting in the way, but you keep gotta doing what you gotta do for the love of art :)..
