days 39-40 of my #100DaysChallenge of drawing animals. I continued working on some watercolors and more intentionally to be finished stuff - with the result that except for the elephants that were actually finished at this point, the rest is still languishing in my room in the same state like, 2 weeks or so later. Gah. I hope I'll have the energy to actually finish them this week!

I started the challenge here in January: https://mastodon.art/@playinprogress/109699531519354873

Attached: 4 images I started a new #100dayschallenge! This time the theme is drawing animals. It is super enjoyable so far - I had another one going last year about drawing with a nib pen or brush in ink, but somehow lost steam there. So this is something fun and sweet for me to ease into. And I am still getting my ink drawing workouts in, even if I am using mostly my Noodler's Ahab fountain pen + various brush pens for these. #Ink #Art #Drawing #Animals

day 41 of my #100DaysChallenge of #drawing #animals. For this day I first did some #chicken studies from video (paused), then went to draw my neighbor's living chickens. Then took my rough (very!) sketches home and added some details (heads, feet) from my by now accumulated generalized chicken knowledge.

day 42 of drawing animals. I repeated the chicken dance of doing some studies from ref pics and then going out to draw my neighbors' living chicken, adding some details (heads, feet) back home. I enjoyed playing around with different ways to use line and #watercolor in these, not sure which version (lines first, watercolors first, broad watercolored lines first) is my favorite yet. I might have to play around with them some more...

On day 43 of drawing animals I had the urge to change it up a bit, and thus drew these deep sea creatures on black paper. I started with rough sketches in medium grey colored pencil, then put some white gouache on top, wetting the individual shapes first and then working the gouache into them wet-on-wet. The first drawing got finished with some additional colored pencil in white and some faint colors, the second one is still in the gouache-only WIP state.
