The purpose of a sketch a day is just to do it - sketch! It doesn't matter if it is an involved sketch or if it is a simple contour or gesture drawing. There are no rules except to sketch each day.

Life parameters can dictate the time investment, but a sketch a day commitment is designed to elevate the personal priority of sketching ... to enforce sketching. Making it into a "resolution" validates the activity (invests it with a bit of a challenge even!) and defends against competing demands. The sketch a day is designed for practice - to reinforce basic skills, and to provide daily contemplation on the issues of two dimensional representation.

Several of us are doing a sketch a day, and I would enjoy hearing from anyone else who decides to join in. We share our efforts, support each other, keep each other honest and... hopefully we'll have some fun doing this!

     This is a drawing of a soup bowl (wide shouldered) full of clementines. These were in a bag instead of the usual box, they varied in size a little more than they typically do, and most of them were smaller than the clementines I'm used to buying.

  1. Love the skin textures and this reminds me that I just saw a wonderful recipe for preserving clementines.....I'd love to try (to eat, not to make.....) one. Perhaps I will find and send to you as a HINT.
