Welp, my 40 days of sketching journey blog is up. The 'failed' days I filled up with pictures from my travels. Either way, I think there are still quite some interesting tidbits to find here and there.

So yesterday ended the second half of 40 days of sketching. Did I succeed? No.
Do I really mind, not really as the first 20 days were the most important ones to me. I did notice some side effects during my holiday due to doing this.

Either way, going to wrap it up this(?) week or so in a blog and probably fill the non-sketching days in with photo's from my travels on location.

NEW VIDEO!

Minas Tirith has had progress on its fourth level gate! Watch how the_pharaohs_cat goes through the process of building the iconic capital of Gondor:

Well, that's day 20 of 40 days of sketching. Quite odd, on one hand it's not a lot of days but in another way while looking through them. A lot has happend. in terms of progress.

Either way, I am looking forward for the next 20 days to sketch on location. Quite different compared to sketching from google streetview. The only downside? possible bad weather & roughly 20~24 hours of traveling needed from closing the front door behind me, all the way to my first place to stay. But that's something for tomorrow morning.

day 7 left | right day 17

ps. the houses are from the country I am going to for my vacation.

So... day one in the pocket of my own sketch journey.

Being inspired by Stubbs1 Sketch journey's one and two. I decided to do my own version of it. Not 60 but 40 days of sketching. The first 20 to get the very basic's down or rather, re-evaluate what I always used as base without really questioning it.

The last 20 days, doing actual urban sketching while traveling abroad / being on vacation. With the main goal to be in better shape in my vacation than the previous years.

p.s. also making this post to give an additional kick under my own butt, to do it actually for 40 days.
