#4 learn to draw

OK, so this one is kind of cheating, because I used to draw back when I was a teenager. However… I haven’t picked up a pen or pencil and a sketchbook in years and I don’t remember how to do even the most basic techniques. I’ve also never drawn digitally, so there is still a new element to this.

So I picked up an iPad and set to work watching YouTube tutorials, with the goal of drawing something every day for a month. I wanted to use digital programmes since it’s so much easier to experiment, as it doesn’t require investment in equipment to try out different styles, and is something I can continue doing while traveling.


Series 1: Frank

I started out with some images of my dog. For reference, this is Frank:



Definitely improving over time!!

Series 2: Travel Scenes

I also branched out from Frank to do a few versions of some of my favourite travel photos from the past few years. Overall I really loved this!
