\"Atamayka-100dayofdrawingquirkyfaces-100dayproject-03\"<\/a> I\u2018m taking part in the \u201c100 Day Project\u201d<\/strong><\/a>, an initiative started online, in Instagram by Elle Luna, four years ago. It\u2019s supposed to be a short creative activity that people decide to do everyday for 100 days.<\/strong> To be held accountable, you are to publish every one of those daily \u201cworks\u201d on Instagram and use the hashtag of the project and of your own personal project. It\u2019s easy to achieve if the project at hand is something you love to do and it only takes from five to ten minutes of your time. For example, a very creative guy painted his left hand 100 days in a row.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been making a daily drawing <\/a>of very quirky faces independently since August 2016, I start with random lines made with my eyes closed and let serendipity take over, until I find something, mostly \u201csomeone\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After my daughter Mathilda was born I decided to draw a quirky face every day<\/a> for a year, so my hands wouldn\u2019t \u201crust\u201d from inactivity.<\/strong> And they are really easy for me to do, just a pencil and one color. I do them when she\u2019s busy playing or sleeping. The more elaborate drawings, in full color or on the Procreate App (digital), I make when someone\u2019s taking care of her and I have at least an hour of undisturbed bliss.<\/p>\n

\"Atamayka-100dayofdrawingquirkyfaces-100dayproject-01\"<\/a>I have to admit that, what had always been a fun game to me, is not so fun anymore. Every day doing the same thing is boring. My hands are itching for action, that is \u201cart in action\u201d.<\/strong> I want to use collage, acrylic painting, watercolors, pencil, crayons, pastel, etc. to put back excitement in what has turned into an almost mechanical work.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m really looking forward to April the 4th, I can hardly wait for my #100daysofdrawingveryquirkyserendipitousfaces<\/a> to take off! <\/strong>I will start each work with random materials, colors and shapes, maybe even a picture, and I\u2019m eager to see who I find and how it will turn out.<\/p>\n

I find this will be a fun way of celebrating one complete year of daily tales of serendipity!<\/p>\n
