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.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 09/31.

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.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 08/31.

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:

Ink, china marker, gouache, Photoshop.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 07/31.

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.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 06/31.

For tonight's entertainment, I proudly present with:

Ink, watercolour, coloured pencil.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 05/31.

Not much in the way of commentary to go with this one:

Ink on paper.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 04/31.

Another shotglass offering tonight. This one's from Busch Gardens, another place that I've never been:

Graphite, watercolour, gouache.

Day three:

Souvenir of (duh) a trip to L.A. in 2004. Picked it up at LAX on the way back to Vancouver.

Watercolour, graphite.

It occurs to me that the number of blog posts this year will obviously be jumping pretty drastically.

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 02/31.

I'm probably late with shotglass number two, given that the holidays are over. But here it is anyway:

Coloured pencil, ink, watercolour, gouache.

(Got this particular glass from my folks, if I remember correctly. I've probably only got about 60 or 70 shotglasses, so I guess that for this project to go beyond that point, I'll have to either invent some shotglass designs or buy more.)

Shotglass-a-Day Project, Day 01/31.

Happy New Year, folks. Yes, it's a whole 'nother year, and so I figured I needed a new art project.

'Cause all the existing projects just weren't enough, of course.

The new idea is, I draw a quick sketch of a different shotglass every day. Day in, day out, for the whole 366 days. (Yep, 2012 is a leap year.) Trying not to go into it with too many preconceived notions, so I'm not putting any hard-and-fast rules into place. I might do these in charcoal, ink, coloured pencil, watercolour... whatever floats my boat on that particular day. It's as much a disciplinary exercise as anything else, although hopefully it'll help mantain my drawing muscles as well.

So without further ado, may I present you with the inaugural shotglass of the day:

Coloured pencil and charcoal.

Stay tuned for more, every day of 2012.

Cheers,

EDIT: After a month I'm realizing that I just don't have 366 shotglasses in me. So, it'll be shotglasses in January, dinosaurs in February, etc. etc.
