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
- Observe your subject for one minute without drawing. Imagine it as a drawing.
- Begin drawing by sketching a few lines.
- 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 3
I just can't seem to get something I'm happy with today. But maybe making some progress with my straight lines?
Day 2
I've not watched the demo for the snail and boots yet, but I plan to do it tonight, so that I can do these better.
Right now, I have to make quite a few adjustments to the drawings I make using digital software (like transforming, rotating) which makes me feel like i'm cheating a little bit, and it's something I plan to iron out so I have to do a lot less of that, even though it's not inherently cheating.
I did 2 today cause they were pretty simple, but I'll also redo the previous project after watching the demos for them.
First object is a BOBOVR B100 accumulator, the second is my man-face mug lol.
Feedback appreciated obviously!
I cut out a lot of the environment from the reference pictures to post it here, cause I didn't want to have anything personal in them.
Day 1
Honestly, I picked a pretty hard thing to draw, as I took this picture in poor lighting, and this object is already pretty complicated to draw. So combining those two things, this took me about an hour, I think?
Although, I'm glad on how it turned out. I definitely feel like I could've done better though. I see some issues with the headset area of the charging stand being off perspective, some lines being messy as I was not confident when drawing based off the badly lit reference.
But aside from that, I don't think I did a bad job on this.
I just started drawing things I enjoyed I didn't wanna burn myself out by drawing random objects or things. , looked up images tried to simplify them and had a little fun, kinda hard to tell with the first 2. Gecko is one that I tried to showcase some of what has been taught so far.
only has access to a #2 pencil for a lot of these. The ghost was just shaping together a womanly shape and turning it into a ghostly silhouette. I was feeling a bit of a horror mood that day. I can't find the reference i used for the shadowy woman i used.
Day 3, I still need to work on my lines and proportions, but I enjoyed drawing such a dynamic pose
Day 14 - Done... With the challenge. I think I went and developed a drawing habit and will continue to draw every day. See ya' later on down the lessons.
Day 10…
drew from life again. My perspective is way off and I still need to work on my line weight
