The week of April 8 through 12 is when people all over the world are trying to sketch 100 people within five days. They say a week, which is typically SEVEN days…but it is a five day challenge. I decided to try it. That would be an average of 20 people per day. Unfortunately, I had a hard time keeping up and finding the time during the week days to sketch people live.
The first day, I sketched a few people that inspired me in the Sktchy App. I also tried sitting in the Pioneer Place Mall in downtown Portland, Oregon, but it appeared to be a quiet day. I got in some quick sketches. Ended up with 21. That was a good start!
The second day I sketched my housemates.
I added a little watercolor and liked that a lot.
Day three I did a combination of live sketches in a restaurant and some from photos. That is now 40/100 at the end of Wednesday.
Day four I had to step it up and I had meetings all day long! I was snapping photos all day of coworkers and strangers so I could binge sketch that evening. Now 62/100.
The final day and I had 38 people to draw! I spent my lunch hour in the mall again. This time in the Roots Food Court at the Portland Roasting Coffee. The staff there are awesome. I reached my goal of 100 people by 10pm on Friday night.
The outcome of this challenge for me is a love of the spontaneous sketching of strangers and friends, and honing in on my ink skills.

Congratulations, Debbie! You appear to enjoy these pressure challenges. I love the addition of watercolor to your sketches.
Thank you! I think I do like the challenges! Pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
