For quite a while a lot of my daily drawings have been of miscellaneous foliage rooted in various yards throughout random neighbourhoods. Foliage is not my favourite subject and it was getting tiresome. So we decided to try “Theme” weeks to get our interest piqued again and to keep up the daily drawing momentum (we haven’t skipped a day yet!)

We started pretty simple by choosing from “animal, vegetable or mineral” and picking a subject from one of these areas. The first week of June became “Rock” week, and, except for one lazy evening when I quickly drew a portrait of Dwayne Johnson on my phone, the results were a lot of fun and turned out OK. (Actually, drawing Dwayne Johnson was fun too.)

Which leads into the next week which became portrait week and when I got obsessed with doing a decent sketch of BC’s Provincial Health Officer. Normally, I can capture people but for some reason, as the week progressed each sketch looked less and less like her. I’m posting the first drawing which is the best of a bad lot. One day, I’ll get it right.
