Thanks to a great outing yesterday, I had a captive group of about 18 people who found it funny to see me so serious and concentrated on my sketchbook while they enjoyed hot chocolate, etc. But, my subject for #100 was busy boiling maple sap. Here are all the sketches from day five, plus one attempt at a pooch.

This has been an amazing experience. I now understand why the people who started this drawing challenge make it over five days and not a full week. You need two days to recover!

It was the perfect day to spend in the local restaurant/café, The Quirky Carrot (heavy snow all day). I’m at #87, so only 13 left to do tomorrow.

I’m enjoying the challenge. Mixed results, but what a learning experience. 67 done, 33 to go.

It’s definitely easier when the subject isn’t moving much. So I did some pickleball quickies from some video stills to study the movements a bit.

Spent the morning at the curling club.

I made a plan: picked out a sketchbook, chose limited drawing tools, picked locations, and… so far, so good.

Day One: warm up looking in the mirror (yikes!)

Then I spent about 45 minutes at the Costco snack bar area drawing quickly with a thick water-soluble 9B, and used a water brush when I got home (with a few exceptions done with brush pen).

And a last few faces from watching TV. Not the best idea, in hindsight.

From the fall harvest (not the mango).

Just a few recent drawings. Tackling people this week (100people/1 week) will be more challenging.
