This is actually my third go with this challenge. I met the first one years ago back in 2011, tried again a couple years ago giving up around Day 20 and again this year. I was determined not to give up this time although in reality I WAS tempted.
Day 73 - This one took several hours (off and on) of what I first thought was a huge bee. Turns out it's called a Florida Bee Killer which is truth is a fly. I first worked on the bee and then the pole. What took so long was all the detailing ...... particularly the stippling. But I found it to be quite relaxing rather than tedious.
Day 74 - Quick sketch of a fox seen at the Homosassa Wildlife Park
Day 75 - FINAL Day - Sketch of two young boys playing at Homosassa Wildlife Park. One had a zip lock bag of what looked like popcorn. The other was busy climbing the rocks :-) With this sketch being the last of this challenge, I decided to slap some color on using watercolor.

The insect/stippling one is amazing, Susan.
I have not really tried that technique. Would like to watch you doing it!
Very effective and impressive!!!
Stippling for some people is seen as monotonous or boring. I find it relaxing and with ink pens is very simple. Just dot. I find it's a great technique for value control. Thank you, Ginny!!!
