Days #20, 21, 22, 23 Sketches-April-100 Day Project Sketching Complete!

 I did it! I completed the 100 day project of sketching every day for 100 days! These are the last four sketches. The goats are the last one on the last day, the 23rd of April. I have actually done 136 sketches during January 1, 2025 through April 23, 2025, because some days I sketched 2-3.

Because I missed twelve days during the actual 100 day period, I added twelve days to the hundred days to make up for it, plus I thought March only had thirty days, but it has thirty-one. So I actually went over one day, making it 101 days that I sketched out of 113.

Sketched 101/113 days and did 136 sketches from Jan 1-April 23 (for my benefit, not yours! :D)

So proud of me! 😊

Day 20-Easter Sunday-I just relaxed and sketched intuitively, wherever my thoughts and hand went on the paper making marks, inspired by the sketchbooks of Helen Wells. India ink in a water brush pen, Zig Writer and Posca markers

Day 21-Also inspired by the sketchbooks of Helen Wells and another intuitive sketch of chaotic thoughts and marks using the India ink in a water brush pen, Zig Writer and Posca markers-Fun stuff! These are hard to find a stopping place on!

Day 22-Large stuffed Christmas Moose decoration in burgundies, hunter greens, and camel colors-Again I didn't leave room for his feet with the exaggerated black boots. Grrrr! Fun to sketch with my Zig Writer marker/pen and a white Posca

Day 23-Last day! These two goats arrived on the cover of a farm Cooperater magazine a couple of days before, and I knew I had to try sketching them! Far from great, but I'm happy I gave them a go! The back one was brown/white and the front one black/white. Zig Writer India ink pen

I ended the challenge, but not the sketching. Doesn't feel right if I don't do one at some point during the day! The discipline and practice have helped me so much! Hopefully, it will show in future artwork...

I also want to do some work in my art journals and do some painting, which I haven't done in months. Maybe I will make those my next challenges!

I am still doing the 100 days of stitch meditations with Liz Kettle challenge and keeping up, so far. #62 for today is pinned and ready to stitch! Only 38 to go!

The end of one challenge, working on another over half done, and looking forward to the next challenge! Keeps life interesting, plus it's so good for my soul (and my nerves)!
