Daily Drawings
From September 1st 2023 to August 31st 2024 I committed myself to painting one animal each day. Thanks to the leap year I ended up with 366 animal paintings. Each month I gave myself a theme such as “Woodland Creatures”, “Fluffy”, “Mythological” and so on.
I learned early on that a whole painting start to finish every day was aggressive. I also discovered in January that I was pregnant with my first baby and ended up adjusting how I committed to working on these drawings every day. My days were spent either sketching, inking, painting, scanning and processing, or sourcing references for the next bunch of paintings. Each week I shared seven completed paintings on my instagram account for everyone that was keeping up with my progress.
I learned some valuable lessons in time management and got to really explore my style and what makes my art my own. Not every one of these drawings is what I would call a glowing success but each one taught me a lesson. I hope you enjoy perusing the journey as much as I did painting them.
