I’m behind on my 52 weeks of drawing challenge… again! Ha. BUT, that’s what’s great about this challenge… from the beginning I told myself to NOT stress about this. If I had to miss a week, it’s cool. If you have to miss a week: it’s cool. I love this challenge. Taking time to draw for myself (since I mostly work on custom illustrations).

Week 6: Tool Hmmm…. not sure if a jar is a tool… I guess it is. I’ve been canning quite a bit recently. I love it! I’ll share some recipes/photos soon.

Week 7: Something You Love For the something I love week I drew my beautiful daughter. It’s SO hard to draw someone you REALLY know. I mean, I know all her features and personality… it just means that this illustration took twice as long as a normal drawing. I can’t wait to add some color!

Week 8: Your Name This was a simple illustration for this week (also known as a cheat week, ha). I really have been wanting to practice hand drawn fonts.

What about you, have you been following along in my 52 Weeks of Drawing? You don’t have to DRAW each week, I’m just hoping my prompts will inspire you to do something creative! Photography? Crafting? Whatever. Click here to see all my prompts, and feel free to link up.

Next is week 9: Draw your fave book. Draw the book itself, or a scene from the book.

Well, I was so busy with my Alt Summit stuff that I got a bit behind on my 52 weeks of drawings (if you’re not sure what that is, you can read my original post here). I’m just about caught up! While this is actually the 6th week of my project… these illustrations are for weeks 4 and 5.

Week 4: Four Legged Friend

For the week of my 4 Legged Friend I drew a Basset Hound. I’ve been getting a ton of requests to draw almost every dog breed you can think of! People love their pups! SO, I decided to add this guy to my pup club. I do need to say that Basset Hounds may be some of the most adorable puppies in the world… so squishy!

Week 5: Profile

My week 5 illustration was actually drawn about 3 weeks ago. I drew this profile, Miss Capree of Curbly and Dog Milk, for my Alt Summit panel.

The drawing I need to work on for week 6 is Tool. Hopefully I can get it finished by the end of this week. I’d like to keep myself up to date. I’ll also be starting my week 7 illustration, too. Week 7: Something You Love…

P.S. AS usual… you are more than welcome to join me! You can share a link to your drawings posts below.

Week 3: I’ve made it! 3 weeks. Still going! Week 3′s theme is “Plant” I had started a completely drawing before this one, but I just wasn’t feeling it… so I started over with this illustration. I’m happy with it.

I’d love to add some color to this. Maybe I’ll paint it?

P.S. If you are participating in my 52 Weeks of Drawing, you can link up your week 3 drawing below.

Week 2: The second week of my 52 weeks of drawing challenge. This week the theme is “Self Portrait”. I’m getting ready for my Alt Summit panel, and I’m in charge of drawing all our portraits. Just a little something extra for our presentation. Hee! It’s been so much fun. I can’t wait to share the final drawings of all these ladies with you. Today, I’ll just be sharing mine. My self portrait:

I want to add a few more bits and pieces to it. Haven’t decided if I’ll put color on the drawings, or not. But, I’m happy with it. Let me tell ya… drawing a profile is SO much more difficult than drawing a face straight on. It was quite the challenge. Yay!

I know I mentioned having ONE link up for the entire challenge… but, I figured it’s a little more fun with a weekly link up for each sketch. SO, there you go. I’ll have a linky open each week on Tuesday or Thursday. I’d love to see your updates! How’s your 52 weeks challenge going?

Next week’s challenge: Plant

P.S. Yes. I do really have a jackalope growing out of my head.
