Since I’m still working on CHA work and can’t post anything, I decided to post other art.
Last week, I was telling you about the classes I’m taking, so this week I wanted to show some of the work I’ve been doing. Please bear in mind that all of this is really new to me and I am learning one step at a time. I am ok with this and I like to keep it all here so I can look back on it over the years and see progress, evolution, change of focus, etc.
So let’s start:
Soul Restoration
This class is a lot about soul searching and so there’s a lot of journaling and art. I posted one of the pages I made yesterday and I will be posting more likely. I am doing all of my class in one journal that I made over. Here’s the front:
and the back:
Here’s one of the inside pages:
I will share more pages as I move along.
Shifting Ground
This class is all about the journaling, so there’s no art to show. But I’ve been doing the work. I’m doing it right in my daily planner just to make sure I don’t have any excuses. Just writing and writing.
Stephanie is amazing and I am finding this class to be thought provoking and ground shifting. She has a magical way with words.
Stretching Within
And finally, Misty’s class. Last week was all about drawing. I put it off for ages. It kept bothering me but I wouldn’t sit to do the work. I was dreading it. I have a lot of issues around drawing. My abilities. I can go on and on. Anyhow. I finally sat down and did some last Sunday. This is less than a quarter of the homework and I just used her examples to make it simple so I could stop making excuses for not doing the work.
Here are my drawings:
One of the assignments is to pick an image and draw it every single day for five weeks. This is my pick but I’ve only drawn it once. Pathetic, I know.
There’s doodling:
There’s drawing lines and shapes with shading:
There’s contour drawing:
Line drawing:
More contour drawing and some shading:
and a mixture of unfinished stuff:
And that’s what I’ve done so far. Buried in CHA work. Buried in homework. Buried in work work. More coming soon.
I guess the link you share of classes you’re doing is not correct because is talking about classes that will start in Feb not the ones you’re doing now
Jana, just scroll down, you’ll see they’re there.
you are not as bad as you think you are!
I would love to be able to get anything as close as realsitic as this.
which is you favourite style your moth is great and I *LOVE* the lines and shapes with shading
Keep up the good work
thanks so much nikki! I am a long long way from where I wish I were but it’s all about practice practice practice like most things.
Drawing is not about perfection, but about your interpretation of what you see. I love the jar with the brushes.
this is true. but i feel like i need to learn how to do it all properly first and then establish my own style. maybe i am going about it wrong… i honestly don’t really know.
Some of these are gorgeous! I like the doodles and the jar with brushes. You really are good!
These are good! I think you need to not be so hard on yourself 🙂
thank you. i’ve learned that I am good at being hard on myself 🙂
I’m taking Shifting Ground…it is like drawing to you…I put it off and then when I’m done I’m excited. Q
me too!! I love that class. I did all my journaling last night and it was so amazing. I love Stephanie!
Karen,
These drawings are wonderful. I agree with the rest you are really way too hard on yourself.
I wish I could draw like this.
All the classes your taking sound great.
Oh and I loved your layout with the butterfly and everything on it. I was thinking about that one this morning and How I could use my word Change. I’d like to do something similar.
