[gallery] That part that you’re really super comfortable with, yeah, don’t do that for a while. Instead do the thing you can’t stand. Linework. I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] The first half of the challenge went pretty well. I’ve met my goal every day so far and I’m really optimistic about the remainder. The day before the challenge started I made a quick list of stuff that I thought might be problematic, or get in the way of me being able to …

[gallery] The realization that I’ve never really tried to draw anything “sci-fi.” I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] If I were smart I’d set aside some time to put together a list of sketch topics and plan a better distribution method. If I were smart. I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] I sat down at my desk this morning and almost started working first-thing. It’s doubly tempting because this week is sure to be extremely busy and there’s a lot of anxiety in front of completing my daily sketch. I’ve spoken about it before, the idea that the blank page is a kind of …

[gallery] Today was supposed to be a hard day. I’ve taken steps. I keep a huge catalog of images clipped from the internet. I even wrote an application that helps me keep track of all of it in a sensible way. Todays sketch is pulled from this bin and it’s an interpretation of the Thomas Dicksee …

[gallery] Few things in this world are as terrifying as a blank sheet of paper. You sit there looking at this wall of anti-thought digging for a groove or irregularity in the surface of the pulp fibers. Nothing happens, there’s no magic spark, there’s just a grand canyon between you and making the …

[gallery] Sunday Sketch (12-6-15) I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] When I started this challenge, I’m going to level with you, I was really only thinking about myself. I wanted to dust off the muscle memory for drawing in a way that might have a chance at keeping me honest about it. The challenge is nice because I’m making a public declaration that I’m …

[gallery] I need to remind myself that this is just a sketch challenge. It shouldn’t matter what I’m drawing, but just that I keep up with it. That’s hard to do sometimes. (Like today.) I’m doing a #tinychallenges in December. You can too!

[gallery] After posting yesterday I started to think about how much the act of drawing feels like meditation. I talked to Josie about it last night at dinner and she said that when she’s drawing she feels like she “zones out.” I agreed with her and after a little bit of back and …

[gallery] My #TINYCHALLENGES for December is simple. Get more sleep and do at least one sketch per day. I had a bunch of stuff in my inbox this morning that I wasn’t expecting because it is the first of the month. Rather than start drawing immediately I decided to get the month-openers out of …
