Not sure I'm being accurate enough as I feel I put the circles down randomly (or maybe it's intuitively?)

Yesterday was a very busy day, so forgot to post my sketch!

Well done for sketching even on a busy day!

My lack of planning is leading me to draw whatever is in front of me. Might be a feature and not a bug--not sure yet.

I am trying to form a habit of bringing my sketchbook with me every time I go out, but so far I have forgotten most times! Drawing a boring object inside can be a nice 'punishment' maybe!

Thought I'd get involved with this challenge. Here's a very quick and sketchy one of my dog. He's a lot better looking in real life 🤣

I went to the Virginia Renaissance Faire today and did some sketches.

This definitely started as an observational study.
Honest!

I rushed through this because I'm trying to get to bed, but I think it's better to rush through it than to skip it when building a habit. Tonight is what James Clear, author of "Atomic Habits" would describe as a placeholder habit. Even if you only have two minutes give it the two minutes so that you can improve on the habit as you go. This was nine minutes, so in a way, I'm overachieving;)

Well done for sticking to it!! I’m doing the same thing but always prioritise the course assignments so sadly not many observational drawings from life from me lately. The daily habit forming is really beneficial!

Not quite in the zone on this one, but glad I was able to get some paint to paper for a little while.

I want to start working watercolor sketching into these daily sketches. Part of the challenge is making sure I can get into it quickly. I bought some pens that have refillable water cartridges and I think that's going to help. Anything that requires a lot of setup and breakdown won't get done often.

Thought I’d challenge myself by drawing something quickly whilst standing up so that maybe I wouldn’t spend so much time on details. Tried to focus more on structures…

I should probably simplify even more into geometric shapes on these...

Previously I was too lazy to erase mistakes but here the eraser was used to max capacity...

I’ve also been thinking I should draw more in my sketchbook, and not only the lesson assignments… So I brought my sketchbook with me for a walk yesterday.

Level 1. For the first two the challenge for me was uncertainty as to wether the boxes should taper or be completely straight, wether some should be flatter and also how to handle the connection/overlap between the boxes. Managed to deal with it better on the third one after watching demo... Tried to make the boxes more equal in thickness and size and this helped to focus on the actual perspective.
