The October challenge: 30 days of drawing

During the month of October, I decided to take part in a drawing challenge that involved creating 30 different illustrations over 30 days. Each day, I faced new themes and ideas, and I seized the opportunity to add my personal touch to each drawing, expressing it in my own style. Although it was challenging to finish each illustration on time, the experience pushed me to be more disciplined and better manage my time. The pressure of meeting the daily deadline allowed me to experiment with various approaches and techniques, and I could see my style evolving day by day. Despite the difficult moments, the process was incredibly rewarding and enriching. By the end of the month, I not only completed all 30 drawings but also pushed myself further and saw noticeable progress in my work.

For these days, I decided to create portraits and incorporate elements that represent the word of the day. I added color to each one to make them more vibrant.

For these days, I decided to stick with the idea of using portraits and adding elements to represent the word of the day. However, for some illustrations, like the coffee and cake, I chose to focus more on the elements that represented the word.

For the illustrations of these days, I decided to follow the same approach as the previous ones. However, for the ‘cottage’ illustration, I wanted to give it a different touch by placing the drawing on a postcard and illustrating it in full.

For these days, I followed the same technique as the previous ones, using watercolor splashes and colors that would complement each illustration.

During these days, I continued with the same technique as before, incorporating watercolor stains and choosing colors that harmonized well in each illustration, always using reference photos to guide the work and ensure I could finish the drawings in a day.

For the final days of the challenge, I used the same techniques as in the previous illustrations. However, on day 29, I decided to draw the hedgehog in a simple pencil sketch without adding color, to see how the illustrations would look without color as well.
