Hi Jaylene,

you definitely got some mileage here, impressive!

It’s funny that while I was looking at your thread I was thinking to suggest that you should maybe try to mix it up and draw bigger studies … and what have you done just today? Exactly! 😅

You are also getting close to day 50, how do you feel about your current progress and the goals you were setting up in the beginning?

I’m curious about seeing your progress on day 100, so keep going 👍

Thank you for your encouragement.  🙂 I have been feeling a little constrained recently with the small heads, but I want to keep the focus simple, just the head construction and do five or more to log practice time.  I just ran out of steam yesterday.  I do feel good about continuing as a daily practice maybe more with charcoal so I have to think more before making marks.  I will be super proud of myself when I reach Day 100.

If you want to stick to your goal of 5 per day (which is good) but want to mix up things, you could for example try a different medium on each head. Or you could change the level of finish, so that for example 3 heads are just carefully drawn structure studies without features and the other 2 are small but fully finished portraits. You could also add, if it’s about structure, a skull studie from time to time.

If you really want to force yourself into thinking about and sticking with your mark’s, Ink is also an option.

Just some ideas, maybe one of them helps to freshen things up again 👋
