    Day 20, this has been in the works for the last couple days but I am done with this page now I think. This is from one of the 3d models on the NMA website.
    This is a graphite in a  regular sketch book 8.5″X 11″ . Definitely a little stiff, I need to work on relaxing I think. A lot of tension when I am drawing.

    Thanks Paul, I bought a bunch of these tiny sketchbooks a while back thinking it would help me form a habit. Maybe I can start putting them to use regularly. Good luck with your challenge.

    Day 19, I stopped today as I was driving between jobs and made a small sketch. This is in a very small sketchbook that I keep in my truck.
    The sketch doesn’t really look like much now that I look at it again, but I was happy with myself for taking the time to pull off the road on a busy day and spend a few minutes sketching.
    This is something I need to do a lot more of. In the big picture I spent 20 minutes of my day here and it had no effect on my eventual output. I kind of wanted to do it again.
    I have to say I was hoping to find a couple swans in this little area of the river, I have been seeing them there a lot but not today.

    Day 18,  A light pencil sketch, getting back to some figure drawing. I don’t think I am capturing the movement as much as I would like but I am going to keep working at it.
    It’s really one of the things I am trying to accomplish, just capturing some movement or momentum in the human form. I am not even sure I know what that means but I know it when I see it in other artists work.

    Day 17, more work on the violets. Still more to go but I will be away from this sketchbook for a few days… maybe I will eventually get back to it, maybe not.
    At any rate, here is where we stand today. I am still trying to figure out how to work with colors, I feel quite incompetent with color.

    Day 16, Most times 15 turns into 30 pretty quickly but some days all I can do is get my 15 minutes in. Working on coloring this sketch of the violets.
    I had to take a picture after this for reference because the real life version is changing everyday with the new blooms.

    Day 15, thinking about these violets some more… a little closer up. This one might take a few days but this is a start.

    Looks like my post this morning didn’t go through. Hopefully this wont end up as a double post

    Just some figure drawing this morning, a few one minutes gesture sketches and then a longer one, probably 20 minutes altogether.

    Thanks for the comments. Yes I need to think more about the overall composition of the page.
    The lower hand I was maybe in a hurry and the darks were dark and then I took out an ink pen… Well, there are more pages in the books to fill so I will carry on.

    Fun to watch your process. I find getting the roundness and perspective hard. This last one I really like, the overlapping helps with the perspective I think.

    Day 11, I put in more time on this page, for some reason I was drawn to the hands though my hand studies here I am not happy with.  But since I am posting my daily sketch time we will have to take the bad with the good.
    Anyway, I think I need to leave this page now…
