added comment in2 Week Drawing Challenge
This is the first day of the two-week challenge. I'm not good at all with this kind of routine, so let's see where that goes. Anyways, here is a first "nature morte" (still life in English ?) with the random objects that laid on my desk and a little composition. I squeezed the drawing in the last 30-45 minutes of the week !
I'm trying to overcome my late laces-related trauma. :)
Also, I realize that the eraser-pen might come in handy for tiny areas which can ruin the global perception.

I totally understand iam trying to figure out when in the day would be the best time for this routine. But I think you did good job really and don’t be too worried about erasing :) you do not have to put in all details it is your drawing and no matter the reference you can choose what you put into the drawing :) enjoy the process :)
I think there is advantage in not having too much time cause if you have a lot of time you can easily get hang up over details and if its right or not if you don’t I think it can also be helpful because you need to be quick and make the decision fast and it stops you from worrying too much and makes you just do it :) itching Touareg doing a great job :)
Again great execution and selection of reference from which to draw! Perhaps try drawing from live as well if you have the opportunity? It might be a good way to push your skills even further.

Day 2: the shelf I drew too small and trying to draw so small I wasn't drawing confident strokes from the shoulder. The brushes I wasn't sure how to tackle, but I'm happy with the result despite some shaky lines when I should have stopped to think for a second instead of feeling it out.
These look good like they are from illustrated sketchbook detailing the daily life and objects and making notes on it. They don’t feel stiff they feel light. It kind of makes me thing of visiting friends how you walk in a notice these little things a mug with brushes or shelf with personal stuff that tells you about the person. Really give me a good light feeling not at all stiff and really have personal feeling I think..

After practicing things from the previous lessons I made these and started the 2 week daily challenge and I had so much fun just looking at these I get again the feeling of pure joy I had when making these I tried to find animals that I do not draw or have not even thought of drawing before just for the challenge of doing something new and the kissy face rhino just got me

Another attempt using broad markers in an attempt to limit myself from trying to be more detailed and focusing only on the shapes

I enjoyed the exercise now onto the observation and imagination exercise

Hi :) I couple days ago, I tried the pear. Now, I had a go at the portrait. This time, I added a 2H pencil for the lighter values and I used a whole page (bigger drawing). I appreciated those changes, they helped me. I tried to make the five values clearly distinguishable and to simplify the shapes. I found it hard to choose which value to put where (especially for the lighter ones). I think I could have simplified more at some places (like the lips). It was very fun (:
I think you did great job! Going bigger definitelly helps right gives you more space and it does not turn out all squished ( personal experience ) and I think its easier to see things when its bigger once you get it into memory (eye and muscle ) it gets better and better. Keep going on and don’t forget to enjoy doing the thing! I like how yours r
turned out
