    Day 37

    Decided to start doing some left-handed warmups in an effort to loosen up a bit. I’ve been putting it off but I’m finally ready to give it a go. It usually helps, but it’s a bit humbling.

    Tried to upload two pages. Nothing posted. Hopefully they won’t double up later. Here goes again. I’ll do separate posts.

    Hi David,
    Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. I really appreciate it.
    Looking forward to you starting your own second challenge. Possible new year’s resolution?
    I like your suggestion to work large. Most of the last few days I’ve posted were fairly large, on 18″ x 24″ sheets of bond or newsprint, rather than doing sketchbook studies. Working that large usually does help me loosen up, but it’s not been too helpful lately.
    I was so frustrated I decided to do the opposite and did a bunch of small sketches on large sheets of paper. It didn’t help much, but it didn’t hurt either. I’ll post some of them in the next few days. I figure as long as I keep drawing sooner or later I’m bound to reach a comfort point and begin getting more relaxed again. It’s weird, it’s as if there was a nerve or brain pathway disruption after this medical issue. I’ve really never had anything like this kind happen. Maybe when I make it through this I’ll process and draw and paint very differently. Maybe better. I’m optimistic and definitely don’t intend to give up.

    Hi All,
    After not posting for a while I’m going to rededicate myself to this challenge. Been struggling so much with my work after my medical stuff a few months ago, but not sticking with this challenge is not helping. I’ve continued to work at it, but I lost interest in posting my work because I just wasn’t seeing any improvement. I’m going to start by posting many of  these past daily efforts.
    My biggest challenge, in my opinion, this second challenge, is a lack of looseness. This has made my line quality boring and ineffective. I’m STILL battling this. Not sure what the answer is, or even why it’s such a struggle right now. My rehab has helped my pain and lack of mobility, but the stiffness in my drawing is persisting. I’ll just continue to try new things and NOT allow myself to get discouraged.
    In the past, one of my favorite ways to loosen up is to do studies of other artists who are good at gesture and movement. Here’s quick sketches from John Buscema studies I did back on Nov 1.

    Day 27

    These look good! I’m going to enjoy watching your progress. Thanks to my daughter I’ve became a big anime, manga and webtoons fan.
