So, this is something I've wanted to do since literally second grade. Dictionary drawings. I'm not going to tell you which word each page is, because that's fun to me. And it should be obvious. It'll take a while, but I'm going to do EVERY page in my 501 page Websters dictionary I got for free in third grade, ripping out the pages one by one. I'm going to release them in incriments of five.

This is pages 1-5. I have pages 6-24 also finished so expect all that soon. Anywho's, super excited. Hope you like it! :D <3

Dictionary Drawing, Day 51: Catharsis

Catharsis is a type of emotional purging, so I wanted to use water to symbolize cleansing, and the reflections to show the emotions before and after. I like the way this one turned out, even though I don't know if I conveyed the word well or not. Part of this project has unintentionally been learning to live with imperfection!

Okay, it's been a second. Here's dictionary pages 6-10. We'll be in the a words for a while.

Dictionary Drawing, Day 35: Bless Sometimes I feel like my hard work pays off, and I hit it out of the park with a drawing. This is one of those times!

Dictionary Drawing, Day 34: Black and Blue Not my favorite I've done, but still interesting for a more stylized drawing. Maybe I'll rework it at some point...

Dictionary Drawing, Day 27: Basalt

More cool nature stuff, basalt rock formations! I've got to figure out a better way to remember to post regularly, because even though I'm doing the drawings I'm really bad with all the social media stuff.
