Challenge yourself to draw every day for 2 weeks! See if you can get into the routine of drawing daily. Set aside a time and put it in your calendar.
If you're already drawing every day, then do something to challenge yourself just a little more. Draw a bit longer, but don't go too crazy. Set a manageable goal, because this is in addition to the other project I’ll be giving you later.
Everyday fill up one page with linear drawings from life. You can either go outside and draw something when inspiration hits, or find something at home and draw it. Take a photo of your objects if you can.
Start by just looking at your subject for 1 minute. Imagine it as a drawing. Draw a few lines, then look, think, execute. Repeat till you're done. Each drawing can take 5-30 minutes, but don’t time them.
I'll be drawing along with you guys and posting in the discussion below.

I’ve made some pretty good rock drawings, idk why but I guess I would’ve become a Geologist if not an Artist, lol.

Tried to do a study of proportions using the envelope method, I'm a newbie when it comes to drawing from observation (started with the drawing basics course) so I still can't get it to look similar but it's a step above last week for sure, managed to get something out of it which is good since I could't apply the method before. I can see that the eyes, shoulders, and neck are wrong. 5th day of the challenge. I'm open to feedback and tips, have a nice weekend guys. :)

Day 7! There are certainly mistakes but I don't think it turned out too bad!

First step into this two week challenge! Tried for accuracy and building my patience/resilience. I've always struggled with working through frustration and perfectionism. However, during this, I found myself trying to "solve" the image like a puzzle, which helped a lot. Surely not perfect, but practice none the less! And what's nice is I usually learn at least SOMETHING, even if it's considered small. Very happy to complete this!

Hey guys! Here go days 1-6. It occurred to me today that I should probably be posting these so that I could get feedback on them.

Made another drawing today, since I was already drawing, I decided to take Proko’s push and draw more.
Tell me what you think.

For the actual blade of the dagger you want to get a straight skinny longer line on it so it isn’t so big and smushed. More like this, so you can make the dagger more 3D if you want to.

Drawing from Real life is pretty fun when you really take your time with it, I should do that more often.

Another Drawing Complete!

Nice!
- In your next drawing, spend some extra time on adjusting the envelope (the first stage of the lay-in). Step back and compare the envelope you've drawn with the photo and make adjustments. Remember to make the envelope really simple. That way it won't be as overwhelming to try to make corrections.
Hope this helps :)

Another day with a poorly timed drawing, but I’m happy with this one despite all that, I feel I could do better if I actually gave it the time it required because I have the patience for it.
