Back at it

Finally feeling recovered enough to resume the challenge (I've been sick for the last week) so keep an eye out for a new drawing later today.

In the meantime, check this out — the blog's getting views from around the world! It's pretty cool to see that people in places like Hungary and India and Croatia are checking out the blog. Thank you for tuning in!

Drawing Challenge: While in Process

Doing that music one took a lot out of me apparently and I've been getting sicker and sicker all week. As a result, no drawing today. Instead, enjoy some more shots of past drawings in the works. My apologies for the less than awesome iPhone quality photos.

Escher: Day 16

A simple and subtle Y for you today. Instead of the traditional dots inside, these are the characters for 'Yin' and 'Yang' (hopefully in the right spots). Enjoy!

And don't forget to take a guess at the lyrics in the M for Music post! There are still a bunch left to get.

Sorry this one took so long everyone! This one got a little away from me, I was just so into it. It wasn't meant to take up the whole page but then it did... Can you tell I love music?

Anyway, the point is I love music and got carried away with lyrics in this one. So the bad news (last time, I promise) is that this is another duplicate letter. The good news is, it's a challenge! All the text are lyrics from different songs that I really like. I'm curious to see who, and how many people can guess what they are (without Google or any other digital aid).

Give it a go! You can write your guesses in the comments section and you definitely get bonus points if you can get them all! There are 27 total but there's one only a handful of people could possibly get (*hint, hint* to those people) so I won't count that one. Some are new, some are definitely not. Some are well known, some are not. Good luck!

You'll get something orange later (albeit under a different heading) so I did another topic of my choice instead. Notice the ambigram up the middle of the "I" — yes it's kind of a weak one, but it's still an ambigram! For a first go, I think it's not bad.

Drawing Challenge: Day 19

Daily Topic: [Something New Favourite Mythical Creature] Response: [P for Phoenix]

Characters completed: B D E F G H L M N P Q R S U W X Z 8

So the "something new" topic seemed boring to me so I went for this instead. Seems much more interesting in my opinion. And besides, a Phoenix is kind of something new... Reborn from the ashes and what-not. No? I tried. ;p

Either way — and despite what I think about favourites in general — the Phoenix is definitely a favourite mythical creature of mine (I am kind of a fan of mythical creatures anyway though). And if you're not sure about the mythology behind the Phoenix, check out the Wikipedia run-down.

And yes, I know I've already done "P" (coincidentally for another animal — the Penguin) but fear not. The other letters are coming!

I love Weeping Willow trees and have for years. No idea why but it was a good excuse to work in that W.

Drawing Challenge: Day 16

If you don't know who M.C. Escher is, I highly recommend checking out his work. He's an exceptional artist most famous for his optical illusions. My favourite works of his are the ones that kind of blow your mind because they don't make sense (or sometimes they make too much sense) so this is my daily drawing for him.

Drawing Challenge: Day 15

HAPPY HALF WAY MARK!
(I know the 16 on the right is confusing but if you count it out it makes sense. 15 drawings down, 15 left to go)
