Hi, friends, let us talk about yesterday and then move to the drawing plan 24. The other day was mostly about wrapping birthday presents and celebrations. Even our bike ride to Central Park involved us going to a secret location to buy a gift. We had so much food at the table and took many pictures. I feel a bit odd, sharing my family pictures on WordPress. So I will save myself the excitement, but i can tell you it was a traditional Russian dinner. Let me try to write a bit more before I move on to drawing plan 24.

During my commute to my mom’s the other day, I tried to draw for my rock studies. Then, I completed a single drawing of a rock. It felt painful, especially on the train. After 12 minutes of that, I finished it. However, right after, I started doodling and did something fun. To my surprise, I started drawing a bunny rabbit with a human figure. Man, I’m excited, so before I reach drawing plan 24, I want to finish talking about the experience.

The human bunny rabbit started with sketchy lines, then made its way to color flats. For the color flats, I choose gray colors of different values. The reason I draw this way is that the next step is to add a gradient map. Then I can quickly cycle between colors and move on to rendering more of the image. Anyhow, that is interesting to me, I want to build a more reliable workflow. Let us move to the drawing plan 24.

Drawing Plan 24

For the drawing plan 24, we need to clean the whole house and do lots of cooking. Nothing to do with drawing, but it is a required effort so that I can draw afterword. I want to continue pushing myself to do rock studies. Anyhow, let us keeping pushing through drawing plan 24.

Today, I want to focus on the artist’s way. I completed week one. Week one included reading out affirmations at the end of the morning pages. I don’t feel comfortable sharing all of them, but here is one.

My dreams come from God, and God has the power to accomplish them.

Julia Careron – The Artist’s Way

Wrapping up drawing plan 24, no live stream today, but tomorrow we will start a fresh new topic. My new theme will be on rock studies until I complete my 240 drawings. Tomorrow, I will stream the Education live stream on DIET at 8:30 am. Also, I’m leaving you with a demo video.

Nevertheless, let us close out with the rock study drawing of the Balancing Rock Digby, Canada Nova Scotia.
