Art Journal Challenge Days 7 & 8

Food

For today's prompt I decided to do a rough sketch of everything that I ate which is pretty embarrassing to admit. No one should draw that much coffee and junk food. There's actually something missing because I had a hot dog for dinner and my attempts at drawing it resulted in something entirely inappropriate.

It's true.

Jeremy had this handwritten recipe for blueberry zucchini bread on his refrigerator for about three years and it called to him when he read this prompt.  I love the sketches of the ingredients. He is much better at drawing than I am!

Mandala

I purposely picked this prompt because I wanted to color a mandala. It's so relaxing. I printed out a mandala from this website and filled it in with colored pencils then glued it down to a page I had already covered in orange paint. Added a title and accent circle and called it a day. 

Jeremy kind of did the same thing except he's talented enough to draw his by hand. He used some handmade paper that made his colored pencils practically pop off the page. I'm going to use some of this paper myself in a few days. It's got some crazy awesome texture.

Keep on making messes and practicing art!
