July Journey

MyGirl and I started our drawing journey on the 03 July. We figured we'd be able to finish all thirty lessons before the library book was due. MyGirl was able to finish all the lessons by the end of July. I needed up to 03 August to complete the thirty lessons.

Below are the sketches I am particularly proud of.

The Rose was Lesson 9. This was drawn on 08 July, meaning we'd managed to squeeze in nine lessons in just five days.

The Lily was Lesson 14. This is my bonus challenge sketch. The core lesson was to draw a single lily.

Lesson 16: The Wave, surprised me. It looks so pretty and I actually sketched this. Can you believe it?

Based on the date, I was already one day late on my lessons by this time. MyGirl was still on track, and possibly ahead already, but I didn't mind. I was just happy to draw.

The Rippling Flag bonus challenge of Lesson 17. These started off as five cylinders, can you imagine?

Beauty in the simplicity of Lesson 23 : A City in One Point Perspective.

I love perspective. I had a book on perspective back in Manila but I never really sat down and drew. So, in spite the fact that this sketch is just a combination of straight lines, I still love it.

Moving right along, we see A Castle in Two Point Perspective c/o Lesson 25. This was drawn on 27 July, by this time, I was already two days delayed in my lessons!

I needed a couple of extra days to finish my last drawing. The book had already been renewed once meaning I would have to return it unless I wanted to pay a fine.

As mentioned, MyGirl was already done by the end of July. When I checked my mail on 03 August before going to work, I found a library notice reminding me that the book was due on the 4th. I forwarded the library notice to MyGirl with a message saying "Oh no!!!!! I have draw tonight!" On my way back from work, I found this encouraging reply from MyGirl, "Draw! Draw! Draw!"
