You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 28

Posted on January 28, 2022 by Just Chuck

Day/Lesson 28 – The Human Face. I can’t draw. This lesson sucked. I almost didn’t post this crap. but I know there are folks following this progression so here it is.

Nothing like trying to draw a human face with eyes and stuff and realize you’re just a pretender. Ugh. Terrible. Just bad. I think I’ll stick with cartoon faces. Can’t draw an eye for shizzle. Makes me want to give up but I never intended to draw life-like faces and stuff. Ah well. If I want to get more life-like I guess practice practice practice.

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 27

Posted on January 27, 2022 by Just Chuck

Day 27/Lesson 27 – Lettering in Two-Point Perspective. Final lesson on perspective, this time doing some lettering. I can remember doing this freehand on my school books back in the day when we had cardboard book covers on our books.

If I did this good enough to read, you should be able to decipher my actual first name. After all, Paw Paw is what my grandson calls me, not my real name.

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 26

Day/Lesson 26 – A City in Two-Point Perspective.

A City in Two-Point Perspective

Lots of drawn guide lines and then erasing of them, lots of shading. I think I could effectively draw a city block at this point and slip in details. Only 4 drawing days left. What’s next?

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 25

Posted on January 25, 2022 by Just Chuck

Getting down to the last 5 days now. Getting close to the end of the book. Tonight was doing more two-point perspective and drawing a castle. I embellished some with the flag and mountains and grass. Does it seem like I’m getting any better? There is one boo boo on this drawing, can you guess what it is?

Day/Lesson 24 – A Tower in Two-Point Perspective. Taking a step deeper into perspective, tonights drawing is using two perspectives on the horizon line. Pretty cool. Enjoyed this one.

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 23

Posted on January 23, 2022 by Just Chuck

Continuing with the one-point perspective, today’s Lesson 23 was A City in One-Point Perspective. Like the other lesson, I enjoyed this one as well. I added a sunset and clouds to enhance the sketch. I also turned the sketch pad sideways to get a wider view.

Day/Lesson 22 – A Room in One-Point Perspective. Thoroughly enjoyed this one. Right angles, rulers and preciseness. The engineer in me hearkened back to shop class and drafting.

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 21

Posted on January 21, 2022 by Just Chuck

Trees. when I think of Trees I think of the Rush song on the Hemispheres album. Day/Lesson 21 was Trees, or more specifically a tree.

I’m happy with the upper branches and the shading there. Not that enthused with the leaves. And the roots look like Sideshow Bob’s hair style. But I know what to fix if/when I draw this again.

Drawing for Fun

Posted on January 20, 2022 by Just Chuck

So. I went and bought a drawing tablet last weekend. At the moment I’m continuing my 30 Day Drawing with old school pencils and sketch pad, but I wanted to get some buy-in to drawing and, to be honest, was getting tired of all the eraser shavings everywhere.

So I bought a XP Pen Artist 15.6 Pro drawing tablet. Pretty cool, but a huge learning curve. Tonight I messed around after Lesson 20 and tried drawing some craters and coloring it. Kind of amoonscape. Like I said, big learning curve to get the right pencil to sketch and then the shading. Still working it out.

You Can Draw in 30 Days – Day 20

Posted on January 20, 2022 by Just Chuck

Day/Lesson 20 – Volcanoes, Craters and a Cup Coffee. This was a fairly enjoyable draw and kept me busy for an hour. More foreshortening of circles and shading. How’d I do?
