Well I ran into some prblems this month.
First of all, went on vacation for two weeks and managed to forget my watercolours and pencils. Literally, I didn't have a pen or anything to sketch with. Was quite sad about that, had planned to do open air paintings on the camping but that didn't happen. Marked this period in orange, and only added one day.
Second, I managed to drop a cup of coffee on my laptop this week. Motherboard and graphics card toasted, maybe more. I needed a new computer. So I had to use the moneys I saved up for buying the paints. So even if I complete this goal, I won't have the money to buy paints unless the insurance company is nice.
So yeah, I'll just continue with this schedule. I still want to create/stay in the habit of drawing everyday. And when I complete it I can buy paints if I have the moneys, otherwise I just learned stuff. Which is also good :).
Study;
• Basic drawing – Draw a box - (4/5) Started the 250 box challenge, slowly going further.
• Accuracy – Barque & Studies - (0/5) Oops!
• Perspective – Scott Robertson - (2/5)
• Full body Anatomy – Hamption, Proko, Loomis (1/5) Don't think I did much of this
Put in practice:
• Draw-every-I-mean-EVERY-day - (2/5) That kind of failed due vacation
• One illustration a month --> Crimson Crucible (2/5)
• Figure drawing studies (0/5)
• Real live practice – Full or partial, practice with water colours (0/5)
• Barque plate (0/5)
Drawing everyday goes better, really studying is hard though. Especially during the week I notice I lack the energy to do studies and is it easier to work on own easier illustrations instead. Oh well.. Hope things go better this month.
