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.

Challenge yourself to draw every day for 2 weeks! See if you can get into the routine of drawing daily.

Day 4. Still concentrating on getting the shapes and proportions right. Then too afraid to spoil it with "confident" lines that could easily get out of hand :D

Day 3. Feeling lazy, had a thought like "maybe not today, it's so hard" :D Also, feel like I'm lacking control over my lines. I guess I need to start warming up and practice making ellipses (maybe that Mario mushrooms exercise)

Look at the irregular negative space in the center of your headphones and draw that. Then you will automatically draw the correct perspective and shape. Your rendering is beautiful.

A couple of doodles from when I've been out and about. Some unfinished because my food arrived!
Vicki Young
You have a great eye for perspective.

When Stan says "linear drawing", does he mean basic lines with no shading?

Yes, I think so.

Day 4! Drew a lot today, but this is from imagination because I was working on something for tomorrow and didn't have time to draw from life
Vicki Young
From your imagination? That's wildly good!

I just made this drawing from the reference.

I know it's not from life, but I was keeping a similar theme to the observation project I was working on for a while and needed something fun to draw from my favorite animated movie as a kid. More animation study to continue to work on line quality too
Vicki Young
Disney concept art is my favorite kind of sketching. My hero is Glen Keane. I had the good fortune to see his work "Live" at the Disney 100 Exhibition. Nice, steady curves on your Robinhood.
Michael Rivera
Trying to find something fun to draw quick before bed. I felt a lot like Goofy here lol

Day 1 and 2 - I really dislike Day 1 but it was the first object that caught my attention and it had a lot of different but structured curves. Day 2 was after I watched the CSI critiques and tapered stroke, and with all the Disney animation references, it seemed like a good object to practice those curves and line quality.

Day 6... Obviously perspective way off but, well.... drawn from rl, not the photo (which obviously makes it a lot easier to see!)
