30 Days of Drawing the Same Thing

1) 30 Days of Drawing the same thing for a year

As you probably know (or didn’t know) – I’m drawing the same thing everyday for a year to explore the aspects of depth, boredom and mastery.

And I’m 30 days in. ✏️

I’ve been drawing my OC (original character) Kumar, and I’m done with the first month’s theme of dynamic expressions 🤪

Here’s the collage of all drawings 👇

I’ve started the second theme which I think I’ll be doing for more than 30 days (not sure) which is: Body Poses 🕺

Here’s the first drawing from that…

Lessons so far:
• Boredom has kicked in• ⁠Time to feel it and explore depth• ⁠Need to remind myself of the WHY to continue doing this.• ⁠The routine hasn’t stabilised yet, so need to find a time in the day that’s static to do this.

2) Rule of 5 (ones)

I’ve come up with this “Rule of 5 Ones” to get better at drawing (inspired by a business rule similar to this)

Here are the 5 ONEs 👇

• Pick ONE Mini Skill in Drawing to Focus on• ⁠Pick ONE Source to study that from• ⁠Make ONE drawing a Day• ⁠Give yourself ONE Feedback each day to apply the next day• ⁠Do it for ONE Hundred Days.

(Bonus: Do it for a year to master it)

Tips:
• The skill should be small, not broad (Eyes vs the whole head)
• ⁠Feel free to do more than one drawing
 ⁠DO NOT pick more than one Source (an artist, book or course) to learn from. Commit to a master.
• ⁠100 Days is the Minimum – feel free to do it for a year or more.

Do a series of these mini skills – You’ll get good at drawing!! Or anything for that matter. 😌

3) Favourite Quote of the Week

“I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.”

– Bruce Lee

That’s it.
I’ll see you again next week 🙂

Best,
Kesh.
