Drawgust 2021 – Drawing 25

Martin · 3 years

I enjoy doing cartoons for my Drawgust illustrations because they're just easier - and I often don't have the time to spend on something super-detailed, so they help in that regard as well.

Still, sometimes I want to do one that's a little more advanced, so today's illustration is a more realistic origami paper crane.

I'm hoping that once this project is over and I have cast aside the time constraints imposed by doing a drawing a day, I can create some work that's a little bit more advanced. Until then, this is probably as close as I'll get!

Here's my twenty-second illustration for Drawgust, featuring Nyan Cat meeting the edge of the canvas!

This week I'm open to using whatever colors I want, though I'm probably not going to be using as wide a range for each illustration as I did for this one. I was struggling for ideas for my first full-color drawing, and for some reason, Nyan Cat popped into my head - probably because of the rainbow.

Anyway, this is the final week (along with a couple of extra days) for Drawgust. I'm hoping I can finish strong!

It's become sort of a sad yearly tradition here in California, where every summer we have fires raging out of control all across the state. I feel terrible about the destruction and loss of human and animal life.

Last night I was outside watering the plants a bit late, after the sun had set, and I was surprised by the bright orange moon (made that way by all the smoke in the air. It inspired me to make today's Drawgust illustration:

I hope that the fires are under control again soon and that everyone stays safe out there!

Here's my eighteenth illustration for Drawgust, a polluted stream!

Originally I wanted to have the two pipes spewing out different colors, and then have them mix as they flowed downstream, but as I drew, I felt like I didn't have enough differentiation in my colors (even when mixing) to have that look right. And I just didn't feel like doing it.

Still, I like the way this turned out. The garish colors make it look like an album cover or something.
