And as of yesterday I had finally drawn my 40th house. This is a very labour intensive project for me. It takes me about 30 minutes to draw one house on a 3x5 card, which doesn't seem like much when I write it down here. But it feels like a lot when I'm doing it. This also means that when I fall behind, it's hard for me to catch up. I haven't been booking myself time to work on this, and at the end of the (long long long) day, I sometimes just don't have the energy.
I really enjoy working on it though, and I love how the little houses are turning out! This will be a very impressive collection once completed. Which means, I haven't officially given up. But it's definitely going to take me longer than the 100 Days.
I always get a lot of insights into my creative process during the 100 Day Project, which I think it partly the point. I also learn about which supplies I love and, let me tell you, I am starting to hate cheap pencil crayons!
Sometimes I can barely even believe that these are real, live houses I'm drawing! I am fully aware of the privilege I have in being able to take these photos without getting the cops called on me.
