This daily practice with a narrow focus - drawing chickadees- impacts my art in so many positive ways. I’m experiencing improvement in - observation skills, knowledge of chickadee anatomy, confidence in drawing, control over line quality with my fude pen, blending and texturing with pencil crayon, use of watercolour over gesso and white gel pen on top of that for highlights, comfort with values and shading. Some days are not as good as others, but being in the process long enough, I’m not bothered by that- some days are better than others. That said, after a really good day, I’m a little sad it’s not a good day streak, but I really appreciate the good day.
I see the power of a daily focused practice, of declaring it publicly and publishing the daily work. I also see the importance of choosing subject matter that matters to me.
Hey Chris, you can post links in comments but not images. It’s a product limitation, I know. But they’re updating the product all of the time so it’s possible we’ll be able to do that in the future. In the meantime, you can link to your social media account or you can do something like create a google doc or google slides or a photo album on any of the photo sharing services, add your work there, then post the link here.
Oops I fell way behind and have been caught up in stuff. But yay I have more confidence that I will continue. And I recommit today. Thank you for the support

I want to post my work but it isn't letting me
