LESSON NOTES

Establish a Daily Drawing Routine

Challenge yourself to draw every day. Try to get into the routine of drawing daily. Set aside a specific time, and put it in your calendar. If you're already drawing every day, push yourself a bit further. Draw a bit longer or try something new. However, don't go overboard. Set a manageable goal, especially since we'll have another project coming up later.

Daily Drawing Exercise

Each day, fill up one page with linear drawings from life. You can go outside and draw when inspiration hits, or find something at home to draw. Take a photo of your object if you like.

Steps for Your Drawing

  1. Observe your subject for one minute without drawing. Imagine it as a drawing.
  2. Begin drawing by sketching a few lines.
  3. Look, think, and execute. Repeat this process until you're done.

Each drawing can take 5 to 30 minutes, but don't worry about timing them.

Challenge yourself to draw every day for 2 weeks! See if you can get into the routine of drawing daily.

Day 2 - Desk clutter. This time not from life but from the image because getting the proportions & perspective right was already rather hard...

Day 1 - Drew my mouse today. I tried to focus on confident CSI lines and admittedly the shape of the mouse also lent itself to it rather well. Unfortunately I messed up the proportions: The upper part is much too small and the lower part much too big. But drew this from life, not the image, so that was another challenge

Day 1 - Starting over... Decided to add shadow and line weights to the moka pot, got super confusing, should have used a tracing paper so that I could give it another shot. Anyhow, not very happy with the line weight, hope to improve with practice

Day 14. Challenge complete! Didn't know how much or how little cast shadow to incorporate, hope this is okay.

Looks good, you captured the depth very nicely!

Just a little drawing as I started one of a plant I had but it didn't turn out well, started getting really confused 🤣

Really nice work! Clean, simplified lines, and solid looking perspective! You could add that nice cast shadow you have in the reference to really make this one feel grounded and 3D! There are some proportional variations here and there from the reference, but nothing that doesn't work for the drawing. Keep it up!

Felt like trying to draw a bike so…. Used a you tube tutorial.
