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 27, 2011

    I'm going to do that thing I do where I put up part of a drawing and get some sleep! Instead of a drawing of a bowl of (mainly) squash, just consider this to be a drawing of a bowl of two squash (one is in the background), one apple (in the front at the bottom) and something way down there I would have to move things to identify... a yellow apple, maybe. 
    Maybe I will finish this tomorrow, but since it's Halloween tomorrow the temptation will be to draw candy or ghosts or something and finish this in a day or two...
