Day twenty-one of The 100 Day Project for 2021.
I feel like I went backwards today. But I'm trying not to be too hard on myself because I was tired and emotionally exhausted as I drew this evening.
Drawing was more of a calmative than a frustrating act tonight, even if I was doubting my ability to actually draw as I did it. At least I was doing it. I was showing up. I was sticking to my daily practice, even if all I wanted to do was collapse on the couch.
Actually, mostly I'd like to have been curling up with Simon on the couch this weekend. But his original intended return date shifted from this weekend to sometime in early March a few weeks ago.
Instead, I spent most of the day doing life admin to keep myself afloat. I didn't even get to the contract work I'd planned for today, so today became my "day off" instead of tomorrow. But without the joys of wandering with my camera or editing copious photos, as I'd planned.
It was exhausting and stressful, but it's done. Or at least back in the other side's court until I have to chase it again in a few days if they don't volley it back to me.
So anyway, this was all drawn with an HB pencil. I don't have a lot else to say as a critique, except it was probably too detailed and complicatedly subtle in variation in parts for my skills.
So I took a high-level view of most of it without going into heavy detail except on the orange where I felt I could.
6/10. Try harder next time.
