Moleskinning
As in Bible reading or any other daily regiment (exercising, drinking 8 glasses of water, brushing & flossing teeth, etc.), I feel like making a commitment to do something each day automatically defeats such a goal. If I want to do something regularly, I have found the best method is to do the best I can. If I miss some days, it's foolish to try to catch up. It's basically impossible to do several days' worth of regiment in one day's time. So if I miss, I simply continue with "one a day" when I resume, rather than "ten a day" until I'm caught up with the original plan.
That said, I have long wanted to draw something every day. I like the idea of having drawings of great quantity (while retaining variety of concept and appearance). I've never actually tried to draw something every day. It is probably not a perfectly realistic goal, especially since there are other things I should be doing each day and fail to do so. However, I am going to try to draw more often. If it ends up being one drawing or more per day, GREAT! But setting this requirement will doom me to giving up entirely on drawing at all after about a week.
Part of what inspired me to finally up my drawing frequency is this thread which ended up inspiring Andy to suggest daily sketches (moleskining). While the Flickr group ("SUGs") drawing venue is more directed towards using Serif DrawPlus to do the sketches, I'm trying to direct the inspiration into simply drawing more in general - with whatever medium that I am in the mood for.
As I generally like the idea and appearance of a sketch blog, it'll be fun to up my drawing frequency. The following drawing marks the 3rd in such increased diligence. But who's counting, right? As soon as I start counting, I potentially stop drawing! Ironically, this drawing marks the 365th made live on my site (I have many more still needing to be scanned and processed), which is the number of drawings I'd love to finish each year - one per day!
