Murky — Day 4
As one who’s never enjoyed drinking coffee, I can honestly say the beverage never looks to me like anything other than dirty murky water.

Deer — Day 5
Okay this is VERY much a first for me—pencil-sketching a drawing, inking it in, then filling and shading with color. Yes, I Googled a reference step-by-step on how to do it, but unlike a couple times the last two years, I’m determined to NOT copy any drawings into Linea for tracing this year.

Pierce — Day 6
If I had ANY talent to draw likenesses of recognizable people, I’d have done something pertaining to Pierce Brosnan. But I lack such talent, so I went with a night scene of a car’s headlights piercing the darkness.
