first week done day 7, struggled with this one and don't like it very much, but hey....i never drawn 7 days in a row, it's actually a miracle...

Week 2 complete

Day 6 cute little frog....

Day 5 getting away from the birds for a minute... more curves and more weird proportions...

Day 4...more birbs...i found drawing birds extremely relaxing and also very helpfull for learning to get use to drawing circles in different sizes and orientations....

day 2 and 3...more curved lines and first attempt at organic form...

Day 13 (I mixed up in the days!) : lion sketch After watching the critique of observation drawing, I'm trying to get more loose confident lines to fight against perfectionism of looking for pure pretty lines, but the balance to make it "confident and loose yet not messy in the bad way" is hard to find ! Which one is your favorite ? Any advice to help me improve ?

Day 1... tried to challenge myself with ellipsis and curve line, not really happy with the result. put some shades out of frustration....

Week 1 of drawing everyday

Day 11 : pumpkin, nettle and jewellery i practiced CSI, line quality, tapered strokes, and line searching today: back to fundamentals ! I also experimented some watercolor pencils which I had totally forgotten, for fun. Color is a whole new subject, and I won't let me be distracted by it just yet ! Best regards

Today... SPADES! So... because every time I don't know what to draw, I'll be sticking to a single theme for the day session. I

Day 3 and 4... I bought a cheap toned paper to do the challenge so I don't waste the sketchbook where i want to draw all the projects in the course. The biggest problem I have, is that i don't know what to draw, I'm doing a pinterest board with a lot of different references, but it takes me some time to find what i would like to draw.

I am proud to say that I drew everyday for two weeks! I made a lot of drawings but I would like just to share a few of them here with you all. :D (My favorite of these ones is the frog!)

Days 9 & 10 : Rome This was really challenging, but very satisfying. It was an emotional rollercoaster between satisfaction and fear of not going through with this challenge a bit "out of my league". All in all, a lot of observation, a lot of fun trying to simplify values and lines, refining, and an end result which I like. Best regards

Day 8 : bears (again). This photo of bears by Nikolai Zinoviev inspired me, and I decided to give it a go as a birthday present to myself. I'm quite satisfied with it, even though it required some unusual tasks for me (fur and complex values). I started with rough envelope to setup proportions, the. some study lines / CSI, and switched last to values. It's kinda hard to create light values when somewhat dark outlines are in place. I tried to compensate that with some light background, but the light fur of the older bear could have been perfectly white for more contrast. Anyway, I'm happy with the result, so I'm out for a reward! As always, comments are very welcome!

Day 7 (yesterday) : my bag. I was quite tired for other reasons, and drawing was a welcome distraction to clear my head, but it was harder than usual. The proportions are wrong, even if I'm the only one noticing it. I am still in the mood "I want my drawing to be as accurate as reality as possible". I feel that I need that before moving forward to more "interpretative" drawings.

Hi :). Today was my last day of the challenge, that I successfully completed! I drew projects for this course, I completed longer drawings, I drew cats from life and I did lots of little doodles. Here are some of them. I enjoyed drawing more often. I found myself being less afraid to try new things: toned paper, drawing a background, drawing animals I never drew before. I don't think I would keep drawing everyday, but I will plan more drawing sessions during the week. I really saw the benefits. Feedback is obviously welcomed :)

Day 1 and 2

Day 1 2 and 3
