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.
Day 6, wanted to try and just generally draw this gesture and got in over my head haha. Realized one of my main proportion errors is making things too wide, so for the future gonna try and keep that in consideration. Light on detail cause I was light on time
Decided to just have some fun tonight and play around digitally. Wasn't quite sure what I was going for as it started off as line drills ha. My first drawing from imagination I guess!
Messing around with line weight is fun
Day 5. Squash! Messed around with a doo dad behind it, and worked on tapered, confident lines. Feel the steps of learning coming together!
Day 4 (missed a day) First time trying to draw from observing real life! Camping now, so drew the mountains im next to
Random rushed sketching, and then some basic shading just to have a bit of fun. It was late and was rushing but wanted to get some time clocked up.
#3 did not have as much time as the last two days, so just worked on construction lines to get a house out, do a little bit of detail
#2...dang I feel really embarrassed about this one, BUT I'M POSTING IT ANYWAY. Character art is my ultimate goal but trying to do it is so difficult because I know how far away I am from where I want to be, but gotta start somewhere! Feel like I learned a lot about shading trying this one out.
#1 Did another still life like the pear drawing, but will probably have to stick to simpler projects in the future cause this took a bit, haha
day 3, day 4, day 2
the phones contour line was not where I started. The shape in space overwhelmed my skills. I remembered contour line and some order of lines on day three and four but, I feel like I am learning how to be cerebral and present. Also, more details popped out to me today.i swear one day you will all discern the essence of the aspergilus on that phone, i swear it!
