Man, that little part after you pulled your hair, the realisation "oh shit what am I doing?" so funny 😂
Sketching is very scary to me and i dont know why. It shouldnt be that difficult but I get anxious whenever i do it.

My strategy, if it helps, is to just do it a lot, A LOT. I found out if I just draw now and then I always get too precious about the results even with casual sketches, but if I'm constantly sketching it's start to feel like it's just another drawing of the bunch, and you start to lose the scary part/anxiety. The key is to fight that feeling and just do it, and also try to enjoy it, let yourself free. It's ok to be bad. Even better, see how bad you can sketch, do a lot of bad drawings, see which is the worst >:) Liberating.

Main points after watching the demo and doing the assignment again...
- After a while drawing in sketch/exploration mode, once the structure is showing more and all is taking place, I tend to go into detail/perfectionist mode, I need to be aware of that and stay on exploration.
- I think the hand is all over the place, a little bit noodly, I need to balance with some structure/measure mode, I now kind of understand the "straights for structure" lines Stan mentions sometimes.
- The color pencil for sketch mode is amazing, great help to stay on the mood.
- I love my penguin now (I hated the first try).
- Little quick test, sketch with the red and clean with the black, so good, much fun. The ref image is from pinterest.
The Tip to use a color pencil for sketching was a revelation for me, thank you 🙏

I can grasp the looseness now, I think I can exaggerate even more in the exploration.

I think I didn't explore the design that much, but I did try to stay loose. I'll try the exercise again with other creature.

The penguin was very difficult for me I don't know why hehe. Still learning how to get a little more loose. I did the sketch of the robot with a 4H, the loose sketch may not be that noticeable but it was there :V
I bought the red pencil you suggested that Disney animators use. I really enjoy using them.

Day 14 (15): I just went to check all my days and I realize I counted day 7 twice. So I cheated today and instead of drawing from observation I draw just the other pear photo surrounded by giants. Congrats to all finishing the challenge! I'll try to keep drawing everyday, but i won't post here anymore. Goodbye forever! 🌅

Day 13: Gave this plant the proper dedication and I'm happier with the result. The day I nail every oval/cylinder perfectly is the day I'm a pro. *(The perspective in the photo is different)*

Day 12: I tried another pear and some toys, I think I'm rushing the process, not giving the proper dedication to each one, just to "draw more". Slow down 🧘
