The letter E, 30 day challenge

So I went with eggplant. This was a hard one, such a smooth skin drawn in cross hatch. And to get purple out of those cheap water colours (as mentioned in previous posts), this one has taken me the longest of all the food so far. To me it doesn't show, not my favourite, I'm afraid!

There is another style I would like to try, but alas! I promised myself I would finish and stick to the style,  so that's what I'm going to do, I'll leave that for another 30 day'r!

The letter D, 30 day challenge

Well this was a little harder, firstly, I didn't want to draw a date because I don't eat them at all, in fact they are high on my list of food dislikes, so I ended up with a dill pickle. A little ugly looking but makes up for it on taste and goodness!

Finish something I have started! The 30 Day challenge #1 begins...

Ok. I have promised myself that I am going to finish everything I start this year. I am a complete flake when it comes to this so I know I am asking a lot of myself.

I have decided to draw an alphabet of fruit and vegetables. I don't know what I am going to do when I get to 'X', but I am not going to do it alphabetically, because then I feel pressured to draw something I don't really feel like drawing. I started with 'P' and drew a pear, and this morning, I drew an apple. Being a person that gets bored so easily, especially with drawing styles, I am really challenging myself.

My challenge:
1. Draw an entire alphabet of fruit and vegetables, A–Z
2. Stick to the same drawing style throughout
3. Use the same set of cheap watercolour paints for each drawing
4. Complete all 26, with a full time job, two kids and a kitten, by 26 March 2012. This gives me +- 1 month to complete.

I am calling it Mobijo's 30 day challenge, and after 25 March 2012, I am going to give myself another 30 day challenge, something completely different.

Wish me luck!

Here is my pear from yesterday and my apple from this morning.
