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!

October 18, 2011

    I've missed a few days now, having been without a computer - at least without my computer, due to an unfortunate updating accident... as in; I accepted an update. It was severely incompatible with something and the only thing lacking was the smoke.
    Thanks to the technological expertise, patience and persistence of my sons, my lovely computer is back and doesn't even seem to mind all the completely foul things I called it in the heat of the moment. Let's just say I was inventive...
    Here is a hand pump container of hand sanitizer - the aloe gel variety. I used a 4B the whole way. Hmm... maybe I should have drawn a bar of soap?

    This is perfectly lovely! The liquid soap has those frozen bubbles that really make it seem gel-y. A really nice range of values, too.
