The 100 Heads Challenge: Pushing Myself to Grow as an Artist
I recently stumbled upon an exciting challenge that has me feeling super inspired. And I love participating in an art challenge. It’s called the 100 heads challenge, and I found it on Instagram from artist Ahmed Aldoori. The goal of the challenge is to draw 100 different faces in just 10 days. Ahmed created a Pinterest board filled with 100 unique faces of various ages, genders, and races. The purpose of the challenge is to help artists like myself improve our drawing skills.
I know myself and I’m kind of slow artist, so I dont know if I’ll be able to finish all 100 heads in 10 days. But I’m going to give it my best shot and see how many I can get done. Here are the first four faces I’ve drawn from the Pinterest board. I started from the bottom of the board and plan on working my way up.
I’m taking a different approach to these portraits compared to my usual comic book style. I’m trying to draw these faces more realistically. It’s a challenge, but I can already see the progress in my drawings. I’m looking forward to completing as many of the 100 faces I can, beacuse I know it will help me grow artistically.
If you’re interested in participating in the challenge, you can find Ahmed’s explanation of the challenge on his YouTube channel. It’s a great way to challenge yourself as an artist and improve your skills.
