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!

May 22, 2011

    I named this jpg image "deformed jar", which just about says it all. I was visiting with my daughter and picked up this odd little jar, but it was Too difficult a shape to tackle as tired as I was, and I didn't manage to convey the shape at all. It had a round lid and neck but six sided shoulders and foot, and a sort of rounded six sided body. 
    I might try to fix this a little... but right now I'm so tired I can barely post this. I surely won't post all my missing ones tonight yet - I'm just nodding off.
