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.
ReplyDeleteI 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!!!
