Page Skating is very fun
I'm always losing bits off the edge of the page. Hope they cover this sort of thing.

Day 11. Couldn't find anything really interested to draw nearby so I decided to do a quick sketch of one of my favorite comic book characters. Also today I learned: Fingers are rough to draw lol.

Day 10. Just a quickish sketch b/c I had a lot to do today. It always shows up lighter than it actually is when I take the picture lol.

Day 9. After watching 5 minutes of Proko's demo video of the snail and boots, I went back and did the snail again. I definitely drew it way faster this time vs the first time, and on top of that, it looks better!
What I learned immediately: Embrace the rough sketch and don't sweat the small stuff right away, you can clean it later.
The first time I did the snail assignment I didn't really try a rough sketch at first, I was too focused on just trying to just draw it. From now on, I'm gonna start taking small notes and little tips that I've figured out along the way to help me out. I'll probably also go back to earlier Proko videos as well to take some good notes.

Day 8. Didn't know what to draw so I went with something quick and simple. Turns out it wasn't so simple! Even when it comes to things like this I always think about it a little too much, which leads to hesitation and questioning AS I put my line down on the paper.
Again, it's easy when you're just drawing circle/ellipses with no real direction. But as soon as you have a subject, it just feels entirely different. Like you're criticizing every small stoke you do as you're doing it. At least that's my case.
I've found what helps me quiet the self-critical mind is thinking about it like a problem to be solved. Constantly compare parts of what you're seeing to other parts of what you're seeing. The human mind is great at comparing things relative to other things. Advice from a complete beginner, so take it for what it's worth to you : )

Day 7. Was drawing this while I was on break but unfortunately didn't get to finish in time before my break was over lol. Freehanding straight lines are harder than I thought. Might be hard to see b/c i was sketching very lightly.

Day 6. I'm still feeling out the 2mm mechanical pencil I'm using but I must say, I'm definitely glad I switched to it. So much easier when sketching outlines and whatnot.
I did get lazy when it came to the details on the flaps and around the shell lol. I'm kinda happy with this one
