Way back at the beginning of May, I said I’d participate in a challenge to do 50 sketches before August 1st. Well, there were a few days when I had time to work on drawings, but didn’t feel particularly artistic, so I took my sketches in a slightly different direction.

First, I did a wacky little drawing exercise that you can do at home! You take a piece of paper, and make some wacky shapes on it, as though you were drawing strange blobs. Then, you have to turn that blob into some kind of creature. Here were my blob monsters:

Beautiful works of art? Hardly… but it did push my brain in a different direction, and drawing should do that sometimes. Next, I tried my hand at taking the names of regular objects and trying to turn those names into those things:

Some are obvious, some take a bit of squinting to get.

Only 4 more pictures to go! The challenge concludes this week!
