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 6 …
went to the park and sketched the jungle gym today. It was a great opportunity to practice CSI
Day 2. Somewhere along the way, I didn’t have an eraser with me. The unsuccessful sketches at the top are my attempts at drawing a pine cone.
These are just half of them as I moved houses and most of my stuff is not with me. Gotta say that I enjoy doing this and am realizing some of these are maybe too advanced for either my skill level or my resources. I do these after work and I had a period where the hours just kept getting longer and longer so I was drawing past midnight and that started to take a toll on me and my skills. The smaller they get the tired I am 😂 😂 😂 there's definitely some in there that I just don't feel as confident about. I am sure I need some perspective lessons and am waiting for those. Also realized how important posture is. I will definitely stop tilting my head on my hand 😂 😂 😂 😂
Any feedback is appreciated of course and hope everyone's having a good summer
Day 4 entry. Striving for conisistency, not perfection lol. This is a drawing of a box cutter I used for work
I made an imperfect attempt at this project, but in an effort to move forward in the course after a hiatus, I am posting these 7 drawings. Remembering that the point of this is to simplify to CSI is definitely something I struggled with. Also, zeroing in and trying to hash out details led to some stuff looking funky. All in all, I'm just proud of myself for sticking with it!
Day 2…
I tried focusing more on simplifying and finding opportunities to put down straight lines.
Day 1…
Just a picture of my dog :) definitely gunna focus more on simplifying the contours from here on out. I started out with a group of relatively simple shapes but hair and fur always trips me up. I’ll probably return to this after learning more about line weight.
day 10
for day 9 i just drew rhino from the class so i will pass posting it
my post got hidden by bot (i swear it was nothing inaprropriate! but)
so i drew another drawing
i am practicing on lines right now so i try to implement what i learnt
but i think fox should be have been slimer
but honestly it was more fun to draw the little guy inside fox's mouth
any tips on proportions?
