    This feels daunting. I often start things and don’t finish them. I don’t even know if I’ll be able to keep up for 100 days straight. But I would like to keep regular consistency at the least. So, I decided to sign myself up for this challenge to try to keep myself in check.

    TOPICS:  I would like to keep my topic OPEN. I get bored from doing the same thing. I would like to create something I look forward to on a regular basis (much like physical exercise). Therefore, I will focus on things that INSPIRE me. This includes everything  from the Face/Hair, Hands, Botanicals, Sweets, Spirituality…

    WHAT AM I LOOKING TO IMPROVE: My drawing skills (may or may not include use of colours).  I would like to master the hatching/cross-hatching techniques ( as I tend to smudge – this comes more naturally) and many other things.  I want my art to eventually look more refined. I want to wow myself.

    Day 1. Cast of David’s Left Ear from the Russian Academic Drawing Approach course. It’s okay. Not happy with it but good effort.

    Day 6. Cast of David’s Mouth. Complete. Not liking this. For some reason I found it the hardest of the three I made thus far.

    Hey Carolina, I just joined today and love your work. Very structural. You have a much better understanding of the planes of the human face than me. Excited to learn more. What courses do you take here?

    Hi Khanh!  * I hope you enjoy it here and learn a lot! I really like this online Academy. They also have a Discord Channel which is amazing.*

    Thank you! As with everything I have many ideas and interests and trouble following through. So I have started a few courses but not finished.  Anyhow, here is a list of what I started & what I started/and finished.

    Started and finished:

    1. Beginners Guide to Drawing
    2. Stress Free Sketching for Beginners

    Started and not finished:

    1. Composition for Visual Artists
    2. Intermediate Art Anatomy w/ Glenn Vilppu
    3. Color Theory Bootcamp
    4. Dynamic Gesture Drawing w/ Glenn Vilppu
    5. And the Russian Academic Drawing Approach with Illiya (I personally LOVE this course….and so I think I will just focus on this one for now until I somehow fully finish it. Then, I’ll move on to the other unfinished ones on the list).

    I am also one of those crazy note-takers, so things take an extremely long time to go through.

    Wow! You are very dedicated to your notes, ahah. Wish I could say the same, but I do make it a note to fit in some figure drawing and videos from here everyday. I am currently taking Rey Bustos’s anatomy class, which has been great. I also plan on taking Glenn Vilppu’s class and thanks for the recommendation on Illiya’s class, I’ll check it out.

    Didn’t know there was a discord, that’s great!

    Day 9. Head of a Man Looking Up by Giovanni Battista Tiepolo. (Looks more like a woman & very much out of my comfort zone…I like my detailed, precise drawing…)

    Hi Carolina! I’m impressed by the work you’ve been doing (and by your notetaking!), and I really like the challenge you’ve set for yourself. It looks like we have similar goals, and I look forward to following your thread. I’m also focusing right now on the Russian Academic courses – along with Steve Huston’s Constructive Head Drawing series – with the goal of developing the drawing fundamentals I was never taught in college art classes. Like you, I also want to master hatching. I’m naturally a smudger, too, so I understand being out of your comfort zone. I love your comment about wanting to wow yourself. I’m sure you will!

    Also, great job on today’s Master Monday challenge! I love the delicacy and subtleness of your interpretation. It was a challenging study especially considering the time restraint!
