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!

June 24, 2011

    This is the same sketch of the yellow fishing net float stuck all around with fishing lures, but I have finished adding the lures on this side, one laying down, and the hooks for the lures hidden around the back. 
    As I wrote earlier, I'm having to put these images in with a camera and cable since this laptop doesn't have the software for the scanner here (if the scanner here works), so the current images will have a tint. When I am home again, I may replace the camera images with scans.
