challenge

I'm participating in Mabs Drawlloween Club this year, a challenge created by Mab Graves (http://mabgraves.com/). I'm combining it with Inktober, and this is the result! Here's my drawing for the first day's prompt: Witch.

My sketchbook isn't quite up to the challenge of the sheer amount of paint I dump into it, but that's OK. We forgive each other. Hope everyone enjoys these spooky goodies!

This is an every other day challenge so I’ve completed a few already but will be uploading them one at a time daily til we get to Inktober!!

Mother Nature Drawing Challenge

I wanted to create something playful that aligned with a verse I really liked after reading about the Mother Nature challenge. I decided to play around with some water color and create funky patterns with double ended brush pens and voila! Fun art that brings a smile to my face. I hope you enjoy! Take care, Elena

Something I was working on for a draw in your style challenge on instagram.... I gave up half way - it was taking too much energy...

To help pass time and keep my creativity at the front of my brain, I keep a half sheet handy and challenge myself to fill the page with lines, shapes and shadows before the shift is over. Never a theme planned I let the pen take me on its own adventure. I’m just a passenger.

Ink and Watercolor sketch of octopus. Normally I start with a pencil outline, then go over it with micron pens. But I'm learning to skip the pencil step and just sketch with ink. I helps you not to overthink things. Once you lay the ink line down on the paper it's there to stay. You can't erase and there isn't an undo like you have when working digitally. You just have to work around any "mistakes" you make. I'm also working on sketching faster because I just don't have that much free time these days. Trying to produce a new sketch every day is a real challenge.

My sketchbook spread. This is actually a moleskin watercolor album which I'm mostly using to draw from life. This is sharp and spiky versus soft and fluffy. The models were the two of my house plants, and aim was a texture and light study.

Close up of the wee wolf in my coffee cup challenge entry :)

It has been always very hard for me to be a morning person, luckily coffee and doodles in the morning have made the process more fun :)

Just tiger townspeople doing tiger things in town. Three-color marker challenge for myself lined with pink pen.

This coffee cup doodle is in honour of everyone who works or who has ever worked the night shift. For those of us who work all night and still have responsibilities that can only be dealt with during the day, sleep often seems like a luxury for those who work the day shift. Coffee is our go to comfort and caffeine kick, our best friend who we can always count on to help us through those working nights when everyone else is sleeping.

I like to make dreamcatchers and sell them at the market, and mandalas are like drawn dreamcatchers.

Daily Painting Challenge 4 - argyle Following the daily painting challenge with Lisa Congdon over at CreativeBug though I haven't quite managed to keep up daily. Still, it's wonderful picking the brush up again and splashing around with paint!

I made an angel looking to throwdown! I colored in old artwork from a couple years ago. I'm practicing lineless art coloring in lieu of this weekend's art streams! This took me about 4+ hours to do, but it was a fun challenge!
