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.

Day 11
Blerg. Bad day. Lines were very sketchy and I didn't do well. But I did draw today for a personal best of 11 days in a row. The good news is, I can draw again!
Day 10 - I like drawing frogs.
Today marks the day that I beat my previous best record of drawing for 9 days in a row.
It almost took me two weeks to get over my anxiety to start but I finished day 7 today. So it's time to post and show my work so far. I'm actually enjoying myself and each day I look forward to drawing more and more. Any and all feedback is welcome. Thank you!
Half done but hardly begun.
Day 7…
sketched from life today then cleaned up the lines when I got home. It’s hard to gauge whether or not I’m going about practicing my line work the “right” way. Feedback would be greatly appreciated
Hey !.. So that challenge was a big *oof* for me :'D
I'm not the disciplined type, so it didn't take 2 weeks for me but a month (yeeeah, I kinda expected that though to be honest ^^').
But still I did try my best to draw regularly, the breaks weren't that long. And I did improve some aspects of my technique, like my line precision, how to describe clear enough volume, my sense of proportion, and I understand a bit more how values work and how to make them work in a drawing (but I still have to practice adding depth).
Of course feel free to leave tips in the replies if you have any, that would be cool ;)
G'day on your drawing journey !
Day 6 …
went to the park and sketched the jungle gym today. It was a great opportunity to practice CSI
Day 2. Somewhere along the way, I didn’t have an eraser with me. The unsuccessful sketches at the top are my attempts at drawing a pine cone.
These are just half of them as I moved houses and most of my stuff is not with me. Gotta say that I enjoy doing this and am realizing some of these are maybe too advanced for either my skill level or my resources. I do these after work and I had a period where the hours just kept getting longer and longer so I was drawing past midnight and that started to take a toll on me and my skills. The smaller they get the tired I am 😂 😂 😂 there's definitely some in there that I just don't feel as confident about. I am sure I need some perspective lessons and am waiting for those. Also realized how important posture is. I will definitely stop tilting my head on my hand 😂 😂 😂 😂
Any feedback is appreciated of course and hope everyone's having a good summer
Day 4 entry. Striving for conisistency, not perfection lol. This is a drawing of a box cutter I used for work
