30-Day Challenge, Day 7: Favorite Word

When I first saw what the challenge was for this day, I was completely confused on why that was part of a drawing challenge. I thought that I would be able to draw the word in a way that represents its meaning, but I decided to just go with this. I also spent a great deal of time trying to think what my favorite word is. I know a lot of people have a word they love to say all the time, but I couldn't think of one for myself. Laura suggested this word to me, and I realized I did like this word. It's fun to say, it's good to eat, and it looks cool with this font. Ever since learning how to draw a 3-dimensional city skyline in 5th grade art class, I have enjoyed trying to draw something similar as often as I can.

30-Day Challenge, Day 6: Favorite Book Character (Can't Be a Movie)

I had a lot of trouble thinking of what to draw for this challenge. It seems like they make movies out of every book nowadays, so I had slim pickings. I realized after I drew this that I should have gone with Calvin & Hobbes, but oh well. I drew for this challenge Br'er Bear, the Disney Character of Magic Kingdoms Splash Mountain. Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox were originally part of a folklore from Uncle Remus, His Songs and His Sayings: The Folklore of the Old Plantation from 1818. Disney later animated the characters and made them into a the characters of their famous ride. They have been in television, but not in movies, so I technically am okay!

30-Day Challenge, Day 4: Favorite Place

I know my last 2 posts are out of order, but this post took me a bit longer time to think about, and I wanted to keep my posting up. In thinking about my favorite place, I thought about specific places first that I have enjoyed: restaurants, theme parks, stadiums, bars, etc.; but none of them felt like my favorite place in my gut. Then I thought about places that make me most at peace. My determination on my favorite place is not a specific place, it is the mountains. I started out being specific with the White Mountains in NH, but then I recalled my time spent in the Rockies a few times, and I felt the same way. I enjoy everything about the mountains, any and all mountains. The mountains are extremely peaceful to me, comforting, and fun. I enjoy relaxing out on a lake, hiking in the woods, climbing rocks, or snowboarding down. The wildlife in the mountains is great, and the smell of the woods is one of my favorites. Sometimes I feel I was some nomadic explorer in a previous life, because that's what I wish I was now!

30-Day Challenge, Day 5: Best Friend

I know I said that I was going to post every Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but I tried. I was just having too much fun this past weekend that I didn't have much time. I also realize that I skipped Day 4, but I am still working on it, and should have it posted for Thursday. So here is my posting for Day 5, my best friend being Charlie Brown! I thought this was the least controversial pick, and he's so cute that no one can argue with me.

I thought I would make this drawing more of a story. Let's see if you can figure out what my favorite food is..

30-Day Challenge, Day 2: Favorite Animal

My life and personality has been pretty consistent over the years, but nothing has been more consistent for me than my favorite animal being a Tiger. I enjoyed drawing this, I think it came out pretty good.
