day #365 - the end of an era

I thought I was on top of it; I had finished early and was looking for a movie to watch already 3 hours ago. And I don't know how time went by. A phonecall, some networking studying, some online shopping and here we are, already past the time for an early movie. Regardless, today is a special day. The blog is over! I finished 365 days of daily painting and recording it, whatever that means. A big part of the process I will have to keep doing mainly for myself.

Anyway, I filled six pages (my new sketchbook better arrive soon, since I have only 6 more pages). I like the dry brush texture though I’m afraid of the strain it gives to the brush’s hairs. At the end I added some watercolor to make the random doodles more appealing.
