Wet Race Meeting by Sybil Andrews was the choice for my next piece in #the100dayproject. The Rainy Day, as I called my version, took me […]
The 100 Day Project
21 posts
It’s Wednesday today, this I know because I smiled and thanked our Bin Men this morning. And Escalating Day 23 means my fourth finished piece […]
Today is proving to be one of those “bitty” days. You know the sort, where you start one job (e.g. writing a blog post) and […]
Today’s screenshot of the progress on Escalating, Days 20 and 21. When I work on this project in the evening I forget to take the […]
There isn’t much progress on Escalating for Day 19. Truthfully, it felt like cheating today because I could copy and paste the people. And the […]
The linocut from Sybil today is one I call Escalating. I can imagine this scene, although I haven’t used an escalator since I was about […]
Yes, I definitely need to learn how to save line settings in Illustrator! It is easy enough to copy previous lines, but I’d like the […]
Today I learned how to make a dashed line fade away at the end. Learning how save the settings ought to be my next job, […]
There is advice aplenty around the internet about forming good habits. Especially prevalent is the number of days required to build a new habit, ranging […]
When I was browsing my gallery of Sybil Andrews’ art I saw the perfect piece to capture in Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Classic Blue. […]
Choosing this simpler drawing was a good idea. Another 12-day art project might have sapped my enthusiasm for #the100dayproject! I enjoyed this little piece, with […]
After making Racing ‘Round The Bend such a complex art project, I decided Haulers by Sybil Andrews might be easier to draw. Sybil calls her […]
Vroooom! And there they go, heading into the first corner… Here is the comparison with Sybil’s original art. This is my Illustrator version, with no […]
Not only is my working Illustrator file a mess, I am too. No progress images because I forgot to save them. One day completely missed. […]
The easy part! Well, the idea was easy; copy, paste and resize two more riders. It soon became clear I need more practise with layers […]
With the rider complete it’s time to draw some swooshes for speed. Being new to Illustrator I didn’t know what would work best. Perhaps I […]
There’s not a lot to say today. After all the fiddly line drawing yesterday I titivated* around the edges. The result is that it’s unclear […]
Multi-tasking is a talent I thought I had. I listened to a podcast today while I worked on some of the details around the rider’s […]
Another early start to the day at 6.30am. Unfortunately, I run out of steam by 11am and nothing much else happens. Guess what else I […]
The first rider is taking shape. I started early this morning, at 7 o’clock. It’s my sole achievement today, unless I include my 3 hour […]
The image of motorbikes caught my eye immediately. I can almost hear the noise of the engines, and imagine the wind in my face, even […]
