The short version
Because Livejournal so greedily ate the post I'd spent 20 minutes typing up, and I don't feel like redoing the whole thing, this is a short version.
I'm doing a mini version of the 101 in 1001 project I'd started and dropped a few years ago (check my memories for more info). 35 in 365.
Related goals: improving wax carving/design/ability to draw/learn to draw dragons.
That brings me to what I *wanted* to talk about today; I decided to do a '30 days of drawing dragons' (at least 30 minutes a day for a month). I started that today and considering that (no pun intended) my drawing skills are sketchy at best, I'm pleased with today's results.
Site with tutorial I worked with today is here.
