The Final Days of AEDM

This past week has been pretty quiet for AEDM, considering that I didn't feel like showing redundant pictures of a very slow going knitting project.  By Day 29 I ended up feeling like I had enough knitting out of my system and was ready to start drawing again.

The problem was that I didn't know what I wanted to draw.  So I ended up grabbing my favorite drawing book, Drawing Lab, and picked the first lab that I opened up to (which happened to be Lab 36: Machines and Inventions).  I have the holidays on my mind!

This was day 29 for #aedm2011 - already thinking about the holidays.
AEDM Day 29 - watercolor pencils, ink, gel pens

On Day 30, I knew that I really wanted to draw the little rhino statue I have had sitting on my desk.

Part of day 30 for #aedm2011 - I made it to the end!!!
AEDM Day 30 - watercolor pencils, poster paint pen

And with that - we're done with Art Every Day Month!
