30 Day Drawing Challenge: Week 1

For once I have been able to keep up (barely)! Who else wants to celebrate with me? Woop. Woop!

Hopefully I continue to finishing my challenge in which I have struggled. Yes, Struggled. It was harder than I thought, to actually plan something out in my head and think about the topic as well as the common sense in whether I could draw it or not.

So far I'm pretty disappointed in myself. I feel as though I haven't put as much effort in my drawings as I'm supposed to. I mean I told myself that I knew I wasn't going to make it that far because of the fact that I have a limited imagination. So far. Thankfully my imagination has started to kick in but always at the wrong moments. For example, at night when I know I won't bring out my laptop and type for my upcoming post or when I know I just won't bring out the fancy materials.

Which...is why I ended up with most of them being sketches. And by most of them I mean all of them except one. (Shame on me)

Anyways, let's go ahead and go on to the first one.

Day 1: Self-Portrait

This is as close as I'll ever get. For one reason or another I just can't make it look like me. The hair is probably the only thing that does have something in common with me. Oh by the way I think I forgot to mention long ago that I cut my hair during the summer. I know months ago and irrelevant, but I wanted to mention it since in the drawing I drew myself with short hair.


Day 2: Favorite Animal

Kitties!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I love kittens, kittens, and more kittens. However I did not know how to draw one. I still don't know till this moment and I'm going off of mere sketches to figure it out. I also love mermaids and I know mermaids aren't an animal but I thought it'd be cute to fuse it with my favorite animal. And so that is how I ended up with my kitty mermaid. I thought it was absolutely adorable.


Day 3: Favorite Place

At first I couldn't decide on an actual place that I loved. Maybe because I don't particularly like or love a place I believe. So I ended up with something corny and simple, but at the same time it describes my life right now and what makes me feel good. It's my favorite place for that reason.


Day 4: Favorite Food

Technically this isn't my favorite food, but it was simple and something I loved eating. Honestly, I suck at these things. I never actually have a favorite anything on my list.


Day 5: Best Friend

Ughhhhhhhh. I love my best friend but I just didn't manage to capture her beauty. (Sadness takes over TT.TT ) I still tried though and it ended up like something like this. I loved the funky border I gave it considering we're both really weird. I stole her pic from her social media but I realized her face is longer and I drew her with a short face. It makes her look chubbier when she's not. So I screwed up. Still wanted to share it though.


Day 6: Favorite Book

Like I mentioned before it technically isn't my favorite book, but I don't have a favorite so I took one of the ones I really enjoyed reading. This book, Secrets to the Grave, is so mysterious and creepy and I loved reading every page of it. I drew this character trying to imagine what the little girl in the book would look like, which I'm going to spoil no more, but I'm fairly disappointed on how bad she turned out.



Day 7: Favorite Movie

The Corpse Bride is life!! Omg the movie is so fun to watch and it just brings out so many different emotions on you. I won't spoil it just in case you haven't watched it, but it's oh so great!


Well that's it for week 1! Hopefully week two will come sooner than this one did!
Till next time!

  1. It's all very nice. So, 30 days of sketches is it? Your self portrait is really nice, especially the way that you drew and colored your hair. The rest of them are really cute as well, and your sketch of your favorite place is adorable. Not only is it really well drawn, but it is adorable when you call it your favorite place.

    Keep up the drawings and sketches,
