Daily Drawing

Day 361/365. Sketching is a good exercise to pencil a new idea but the real magic happens when you finish the illustration. Four more to go!

Day 365/365! Party time!

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

Last year in April, I started a 30 day drawing project. On day 30 a little tiger character developed and so I continued, first to 100 days then to do 365 drawings.

I wasn't sure if I would get this done in a year and gave it a go. It took a year and 3 months to get 365 doodles.

For Inktober last year I coloured some of the doodles.

I have chosen my favourites from the collection and am inking the line work to finish the project and create a 96 page 'Little Tiger and Friends' colouring book which will be printed and for sale this year.

Next, I'm starting a new 365 day drawing project, and do it in a year. Starting in September.

Thanks to everyone who cheered me on. I really appreciate the support. It has been a fun journey and I think that is the key, to have fun.

Congratulations! That's a big accomplishment!

@tessaw Thanks Tessa. It was a challenge!

WOW!! Well done! I know we have all enjoyed your beautiful and charming drawings. I'm personally awed by the fact that you did 365!

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@eli Thanks so much Eli. Haha me too. I was planning to do 30! I think when you start to think about applying the classes to what you are working on at the time something clicks and you see more ideas to draw. My favourite class is Creative Composition. That helped a lot with this project.

"Mr snail got lost in the lettuce patch", said Persephone to Kitty. "Take him to the dandelion flower pot by the steps. That's where George the giant snail is having a good nosh up", Kitty smiled.

Hiya Judy!

I just wanted to say that though I haven't followed your journey the whole length of the way, I am really impressed at how much work you've put out. I mean, one each day for a year? That is incredible! I'm not usually one to go for this style of illustration either, but I took a closer look at your work and I appreciate it because of the visual language you've built up. Again, congratulations on your achievement here, and keep up the phenomenal work!

[Judy Elizabeth Wilson]

@jabbernewt Thanks. I really appreciate that! Yeah, you are right about the visual language, it did start to develop and then things started to get more fun. The first drawings were all over the place and I kept in mind it didn't matter how it looked but just to draw everyday. I wanted to start another year this September 2018 but I'm doing Inktober now and then working on illustrating stories I have written until the end of the year and putting all my energy into finishing the books. I will definitely do another year soon. Thanks again!
