DAILY DRAWINGS

One of my goals for this year is to draw/doodle everyday. It started out as a ten minute exercise but after day three I was enjoying getting lost in the process. It became meditative, so I removed the time restriction. Doodle till your done doodling damnit! After thirty-one days I can already see some improvements in the quality of the lines. I plan on focusing on facial features in February. Let’s see where that takes me…

Here are five of my favorites from this month.

  THE GUT

  Sadly, the 30-day drawing a day habit with

  Wendy MacNaughton
  is over. It was so wonderful to once again be a part of such a positive group of people working towards a common goal. From beginners to advanced, from all walks of life, it’s been fascinating to see the different interpretations of the daily exercises. We humans are gloriously unique.

  Here is the official description of the Grown Ups Table 30-Day Drawing Habit from Wendy’s Substack:

  The 30-Day Drawing Habit introduces the life-changing, world-transforming power of daily drawing (and painting, doodling, and general making) into your life. It will also give you the tools to maintain a practice long after the 30 days. What makes the Grown-Ups Table (GUT) program different from every other art and drawing program is that we do it together in community. And not just any community. The GUT community is the best, most creative folks in the world - just the kind of safe, supportive space where we can take a leap and grow.

  What is the GUT’s 30-Day Drawing Habit exactly? It works like this: For 30 days, I send out fun, accessible, evidence-based art lessons and 10-minute drawing prompts to give you everything you need to do to establish a daily creative routine. Every day, you draw for 10 minutes, then share your drawings in the Grown-Ups Table chat. There, you’ll meet other like-minded creative folks from all backgrounds and skill levels and receive tremendous encouragement, accountability, and community. (It’s kind of the best.)

It’s been a fantastic month. What have you been doing/creating. Please share, I am genuinely interested.
