One Week 100 People 2024 Day 5

I really didn’t feel like sketching today, as I discovered that my cat has a large lump on his hind leg so I need to take him to the vet tomorrow. I’m worried about him and so considered skipping today entirely, but ended up sketching some people to distract myself. Same setup as yesterday – Leonardo Momento Zero fountain pen, Diamine Fireside Snug ink, Stillman and Birn Alpha.

One Week 100 People Day 4

Three things happened today:

  1. My shoulder is feeling better.
  2. I have more time.
  3. I found the wonderful Earthworld thanks to Tina from Fuelled by Clouds and Coffee and started using it for reference photos.

The result is sketches 12 to 40 (yes, I got that many done in a single sitting). The fact that I have much better reference photos made such a huge difference, as I didn’t have to waste time digging through urban landscape photos in search for half decent portraits. Also, the Earthworld photographs feature People with a capital P – frumpy, old, ugly, real and incredibly beautiful to sketch. The great Leonardo Momento Zero Bohemia Twilight fountain pen with its fine nib and Diamine Fireside Snug also added to the fun – I love this pen and ink combo so much I’m likely going to use it for the rest of the 60 sketches.

Number 12 was added to this page
I love 14, 17, 18, 20 and 21
I picked up speed with these as I warmed up
Number 36 and 37 really came out well, I think

So, now which one is your favourite? I have too many to choose from.
