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 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
Day 12 - Today feels like it went better than yesterday. At least I'm staying consistent and think that I'm building a habit. I look forward to improving.
Day 11
Blerg. Bad day. Lines were very sketchy and I didn't do well. But I did draw today for a personal best of 11 days in a row. The good news is, I can draw again!
Day 10 - I like drawing frogs.
Today marks the day that I beat my previous best record of drawing for 9 days in a row.
