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

  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.

Day 1 of 14 day challenge

Day 6 is in the books and I’m really happy with the results. Repetition and familiarizing yourself with a lot of the approaches to different lines has been fantastic to reroute the way I’m thinking about the objects. While happy with progress I still have much to learn so as always critique is appreciated. Again, my focus is line confidence and quality (confidence is higher than quality at the moment for sure lol). I understand proportions, perspective and values will come much later and that’s not the point of this exercise. Today’s inspo comes from the Father-In-Laws bombardier. I come from a small fishing town and the locals use these tanks to brave -30 degree Celsius temperatures in order to set and pull in nets.

Day 1 of 14, will try uploading again halfway through the 14 days and at the end to see if there’s any improvement

Day 3 of the challenge and progress was definitely made! Not completely satisfied (at all 😂) but a step in the right direction. Tis the season for inspiration! (Any critique is appreciated!)

While the proportions are off I find that picking the camera was a real fun choice to draw as a lot of the shapes are pretty simplified. With that being said, the lens was for sure the most difficult part. I wanted to focus on ghosting in and executing more confident lines and I feel like progress was made so the end result is a success!

Here is day 1 of the 2-week challenge. I rewatched the video after drawing and found out that you were supposed to draw from life. I accidentally drew from photos. All are from Pixabay. Squirrel: pranavsinh232 wl:herbert2512 Eagle: Kathy_Büscher Fox: AlainAudet

Been practicing straight lines, line thickness and creating shadow and texture with lines. This came out. The curves are not easy to draw but in this case I did not bother with them too much.

Used this rhino for some exercise and decided to draw it from scratch since it is beautiful picture.

Been practicing warmups to improve line quality. Here I have focused to avoid dark lines and to make the lines flow more. Although I want to draw more accurate I realised that all my drawing looked the same. This was an attempt to break that pattern and to better control the amount of pressure I put on the pencil.

I took a really long break between lessons because my husband got me an iPad with procreate. I drew these 3 things. I just barely came back to my lessons to draw on paper again. But it was a nice break to try something new! I've never finished a large project like Artgerms Batman/Catwoman. The skull daisy was from a dream. And the bride of Frankenstein is my first human creation without a direct reference. It's so hard. It's a mishmash of like 10 different images 😄 🤣 😂

A sunny day out in nature today I am great at proportions, it's just that my paper was too small 😂
