Day 5's assignment was to create washes with diluted ink and pen on top. The subjects were people or animals. Here is what I came up with.

One Drawing a Day
Thursday, February 6, 2014
I joined an artsy book club on Facebook. It was started by another elementary art teacher but there are other artsy people in the group who are not teachers. You should come join us! We are just starting to work through the book One Drawing A Day: A 6-Week Course Exploring Creativity with Illustration and Mixed Media.
The 2nd assignment was to draw with pen and dip ink. The lines were supposed to be more loose and free, but I was having fun drawing the detailed butterfly.
** If you haven't already voted, please help me out!! Many of you know that I have another blog, called Art is Basic, which is all about my teaching in the elementary art classroom.

It seems to be work-at-your-own-pace, at least I know I won't be able to keep up every single day. The first assignment was a pen drawing of a still life set up of stuff you find around you.
Drawing right with pen is harder than it seems. I was so worried about drawing a line wrong it was hard to loosen up. I pretty much always use a pencil first when drawing, so I feel a bit more free with my lines, knowing that I can erase.
