My day 1 sketch :) I drew a sculpt from my friend @Alec Brubaker
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
- Observe your subject for one minute without drawing. Imagine it as a drawing.
- Begin drawing by sketching a few lines.
- 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.
Tried something different tonight and limited time massively to force myself to sketch more Vs clean up and polish. This is usually something I'd then layer a cleaner version on top etc.
Day 5: lil blobby boi that I drew when hanging out with cousins (really loving the tapered stroke)
Day 6 - Screw Pine seed pod and staple puller. These are very quick sketches: 3-5 minutes. I'll look for something to go longer on for day 7.
Had to go quickly this morning so no time to clean up. Digital today. But I need to get over that and embrace the fact a quick rough sketch is fine. Proportions are off since I was rushing. E.g. too tall.
Really enjoyed this one. Re did the straight lines a ton. Not perfect but worked really hard to consciously fight my shoulder vs elbow and wrist. Slightly curved still but much better than a week ago.
Drawing the curves and straights in the lid was fun and relaxing.
Ugh this was hard tonight. Really don't like this one and made me feel like giving up.
But pleased I made time to still give it a shot and persevered. Really feel like I need some tips on pencil grips and shoulder movements

Heck yeah. Way to stick it through.
Getting used to using your should when drawing is such a critical skill. I think one of the best ways to develop it is to draw BIG. Get some cheapo 18x24" newsprint and some charcoal or a broadly sharpened pencil. You'll quickly find that you HAVE to use your shoulder to draw that large. Also learning different ways to hold your tools is very useful. I'm a big fan of how @Patrick Jones teaches it. He has some course on here, and also some free content on youtube I think on how to hold charcoal. (he's also an amazing teacher in general!)
Cheers!
Day 14! 2 weeks complete! Yay! For the last day of the challenge I tried to draw the beetle in my profile pic, a landline phone and a trash can!
Day 5 - Strawberry Still Life
I wanted to keep this one real loose, sketchy and quick.
Not quite sure why, but today I drew a duck. Plant. Thing. Hair was fun. Lots of sweeping c curves and lines that felt good. Still too much chicken scratch on feet in particular
