I'm late to the party after having to take a brake after the 14 day challenge which, in the end, has been kinda hard on me and my motivation. It was a bit too much for me, but I missed Stan video and drawing, so I'm back!
I'm pretty proud of me after such a long break, and I really enjoyed drawing this VR girl :)

Day 14: It's the end... or the beginning of something new! I was relieved by the idea of today being the last day of the challenge since it has been really a challenge for me between the drawing themselves and my personal life (to make time to do those daily drawings).
But then, I started my today drawing and had so much fun that I forgot completely that I was doing this for the challenge. I was just enjoying myself :)
So today, a Lego Minifig! Ref: https://www.hothbricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/lego-minifigure-visual-history-new-edition_13.jpg

Day 13: Almost the end of the challenge... I will admit that I like this habit to draw every day, but that's also really hard. I might take a little break at the end of the challenge...
Anyway, for today, how hard can it be to draw a sofa? Well, way harder than I thought ^^

Day 12: After failing with the CSI boots, I've tried to do something else, a pair of headphones. Ref: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81A6xg9d-RL.jpg

I'm not used to give up but... I give up with the boots, I don't know how to crack them down... :(
This is after more than 30 min of work.
I suppose I go too much into the details. I will check the demo of Stan and will maybe retry again...

Day 11: Tired, but here is my today drawing, or at least my attempt to draw a dragon fruit, ref: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0586/7303/7499/products/DragonFruit1pc.jpg?v=1660188898
I don't really like this one...

Not enough time to work on the boots for the CSI, I will have only submitted the snail in time...

Day 08: simple things can be hard to draw... How hard can it be to draw a simple rugby ball? I'm not happy with today drawing. My snail was way better...

I finally took the time to start this challenge. I've chosen to start with the snail. The boots are hopefully coming tomorrow, I still have to draw something for the 14 days challenge!

Day 4, 5, 6. I have been drawing my 3D prints. It's a bit scary to admit, but I am already slowly losing motivation to draw every day. Does anyone have tips for me?

Draw things that you like!
You may like 3D printing (like I do!), but you do not like Benchies for examples.
One of my best and most enjoyable daily drawing so far is a shark which is an animal I like a lot (I've done a lot of scuba diving).

Day 07: Still hard to be held accountable, but trying to keep the routine...
I must say that I'm a bit proud of this one, even though it has no artistic value, I'm happy with it for once. The belly is maybe a bit thick although.

I still have to work on the CSI assignment, but that won't be tonight again... The clock is ticking :(

Day 06: keeping accountable is hard... Reference: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/W/IMAGERENDERING_521856-T2/images/I/5114vehKsoL.jpg
Since I was drawing Todd for my warmup, I decided to go with it also for may today drawing.
I still have to find the time to work on the CSI assignment...

Day 04: Lack of inspiration about what to draw from real life pictures... Found this toy: https://apili.fr/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Peluche-API-1222-1.jpg
The hands are hard...
Too tired to start one of the CSI exercice tonight.

Day 02: obviously my mouse but the proportions are wrong :(
Tomorrow, I will clearly try to work on a picture found on the web. The objects around me are boring...

Thanks for sharing and reminding us that we must not forget about the -previous lessons…
Today, I will first simplify what I draw before going into the details!

Day 01: only one drawing of a 3D printed Lego Crystal like model sitting on my desk for ages.
After the mushroom exercise and this one, my hand is already sore, I definitely need to draw more to learn to let go my (Apple) pencil and be more relaxed.
I also need to sleep... But I will try to do at least one drawing a day before going to sleep. I may struggle to find what to draw in the end.

My first take on the mushrooms exercice... I clearly will have to practice a lot! But that's indeed way funnier than drawing pages of simple ellipses. Thanks Stan for the tip!
