Tried to participate in Gouachetober this year, since those paints I got back in 2018 are slowly but surely drying up…

The challenge was to do a painting for every day of the month, which is a noble goal but completely impossible when you’re trying to (finally) move into an unfurnished apartment. At least it was less painful to be on hold on the phone with water/electricity/gas companies when I was painting at the same time.

I didn’t even do a painting every two days! but I think the challenge was still overall effective because I left it feeling less scared of breaking out the gouache. And I’m sure it was helpful in developing my eye for colour, composition, light and shadow, which are still useful for animation!
