27 Minutes: Day 26


27 Minutes: Day 26
I've been posting every fifth day, but day 26 is more exciting than day 25 — the wingspan of this drawing is now officially 9 inches. If you look closely (click image to see a larger version) you can see the two vertical pencil lines of the 9-inch square. (Project: 27 minutes a day, filling a 9 x 9 inch square. Day 26 = 11 hours 42 minutes.)

Illustration Friday: Lesson
