Well, kids, the shotglasses are done. Seems like a million years have passed since I kicked the project off on January 1st, all full of piss and vinegar and ready to draw 366 glasses over the course of 2012.
Then again, I had no idea at the time what twists and turns my life would take in January. Guess I can't fault myself for not being clairvoyant, though - I doubt that anybody else could've predicted the things that have happened to me any better.
So here I am almost a month and a half later, and the world as I know it is drastically different from the one I thought I was living in back in December. Some longterm plans hatched in happier times have been shelved, sadly. And the adjustment process hasn't at all been easy.
On the plus side, here's the last of the 31 shotglasses:
And I think the new idea of having a different theme every month will add some much-needed variety to the whole drawing-every-day thing. Dinosaurs for February are, as you've already seen, well underway. Other potential monthly topics include guitars, shoes, dogs & cats, dragons, and at least one other than I'm blanking on at the moment. I'm certainly open to suggestions from the floor.
Also on the brighter side, the work situation has taken a definite turn for the better, so at least that particular bit of stress and pressure has lessened considerably.
Onward and upward, right?

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Days 28-29/31.
Coming down the home stretch with the shotglass project, how. Two more finished tonight:
... and just two to go. (Don't worry, Millie. One of 'em will be your moose shotglass.)
Ink and Photoshop again.
While we're all here, I'm open to suggestions re: themes for the remaining months of the year. Obviously I'm drawing dinosaurs in February, but after that... ?

Big progress last night. Went over to visit friends last night (and watch 9, which was phenomenal), and drew a few of their glasses:

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 21/31.
So today was a day of big decisions. The biggest one being, there's no way I could last a whole year drawing shotglasses without losing my mind.
Therefore, the plan is draw a month's worth of shotglasses and then switch topics. So what'll I be drawing once the 31 shotglasses are done, you may ask? Well, this latest glass contains a hint:

Continuing my catchup efforts, I believe this is another glass I got from Gary & Morna of Starfish Glassworks fame:

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 12/31.
Wasn't really feeling this one tonight, but here it is anyway:
Charcoal, watercolor and ink. Got this shotglass from my good friends Morna Tudor and Gary Bolt (they actually made it.)

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 11/31.
Just a quick drive-by post. Stressed out to the max about arrangements for the art sale on Saturday, and nothing else seems to be calming me down any, so I figured maybe drawing Stewie Griffin would help.
The verdict is still out.
Ink and watercolour.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 10/31.
Saw this one at the Muse's place tonight, and just had to draw it:
Ink and watercolour. Only artistic license I used was in colouring the skull red to give it more emphasis.

Got this particular glass from my good buddy Paul Whitt, along with a matching flask. He allegedly found it in an establishment of questionable moral fiber:
Coloured pencil.

Anybody who knows me knows how much I like Jack Daniel's. And a few of you keep asking when I'm gonna draw a Jack glass, so without further ado:

Running a bit late, but this is yesterday's shotglass pic:
Drew and painted it last night after supper, but there wasn't time to scan it before I had to go to a birthday party.
Watercolour, charcoal.
