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.

You're well on your way to growing your depth and perspective skills! :) Nice job!

Day one. Will also share day 14 when complete. (As always my biggest weakness is depth and perspective, hopefully when I am finished this course I will have a much greater ability to understand and draw depth and in perspective.)

Everybody’s pics are so good! Very talented bunch. I feel like my pics will look like a 5yr old drew them, in comparison.

Day 2 I've not watched the demo for the snail and boots yet, but I plan to do it tonight, so that I can do these better. Right now, I have to make quite a few adjustments to the drawings I make using digital software (like transforming, rotating) which makes me feel like i'm cheating a little bit, and it's something I plan to iron out so I have to do a lot less of that, even though it's not inherently cheating. I did 2 today cause they were pretty simple, but I'll also redo the previous project after watching the demos for them. First object is a BOBOVR B100 accumulator, the second is my man-face mug lol. Feedback appreciated obviously! I cut out a lot of the environment from the reference pictures to post it here, cause I didn't want to have anything personal in them.
