I spent some time today going through the past 100 days of artwork (and saving some of the images to my hdd) to prepare for my 200th post tomorrow. I plan on going back and reading all 100 of them too, and hopefully that will give me some insight into how far I’ve come during that time. Or perhaps I feel exactly the same as I did a few months ago and nothing’s changed at all! We’ll just have to see…

I was afraid that I wasn’t going to have enough time today to get anything done because I’m heading out to a hockey game shortly, but it turns out I’m quite satisfied with the progress I made today. I was able to do another row of window wreckage, got started on some rubble on the ground, and I added some effects on one of the buildings on the left side so it looks like the tentacle is swiping it. Not too shabby. I still plan to do a crazy amount of touch ups on almost everything, but that will be something I’ll tackle sometime this week.

I want to get ready to go, so I’ll cut this pretty short for today. I do want to mention, however, that I’m just a couple days away from hitting my 200th day. So on Tuesday I plan to go over everything I’ve been doing for the past 100 days. So that’s day 100 to 200 altogether. I’ll pick out a bunch of my favorite artwork and try and reflect on each one. Should be fun! Hope everyone has a fantastic week.

So today, the heat seems to be off in my apartment building. It’s usually quite cold in here during the winter as it is, but this was ridiculous. I decided to get started on my drawing, despite the cold, and then the power went out. I assume this is related to the heating issue though, so I guess they’re working on it. I was able to save what little work I had done because my laptop switched to the battery. The power continued to go on and off for the next hour, so I then decided to get out of the house. I took my laptop with me and worked on this painting for about an hour.

I added a lot of detail to make the buildings look even more deteriorated. The buildings on the left still need a lot of work though, so I’ll save that for tomorrow. I’m not sure how much time I’ll have to draw tomorrow, because I’ll be away for most of the day I think. I might have to get started on it pretty early in the day if I hope to get something done, let alone posted.

What is even happening in this scene anymore? I just went in a completely different direction with this today, and it was so much fun to make. It’s like when you’re talking to someone about the newest episode of Game of Thrones, and you go off on a tangent about how you couldn’t live in a world like that because they haven’t invented ice cream. That’s what I do when I’m drawing.
