Drawing Practice: Give me a total of 100 ideas to draw to see if I get any better by the 100th drawing.

i mean god

Last two are great,

Okay if i join in going forward?

You should draw your display name as a trial.

Ha ha ha, great work! A lot packed in there.

I guess I don't know what a display name is because I was expecting woodsman James Harden and a ghost!

lol the fork cloved the tofu

this thread provides small joys and kindnesses and reminds me how much more bearable life is because of them <3

Welcome forks!

But the unimaginable has happened — we have caught up to all the drawing ideas, with 78 more left to go!

23. Gabriel Iglesias taking a bubble bath

oh, there can be more drawing ideas

I can see the consistent improvement in drawing!

An elephant terrified of a mouse

Auguste Rodin's "Monument to Balzac" on a coffee date with a Pallas's cat.

please draw a brain trying to escape out through someone's eyes

An elephant terrified of a mouse

is this a classic drawing prompt? it feels like it should be

what about a mouse looking aghast at an arriving elephant foot that is about to crush its skull

I don't know this guy Gabriel Iglesias, but here he is taking a bubble bath:

could've done better but a 10 min limit is a cruel tyrant

HAHA wow that was fast and accurate!

I might start joining in on these sometimes too! mine will be the worst (my hand is shaky and i am careless), but it would be a good exercise every day to warm up or just make sure i do SOMETHING

The coronation of a queen bee.

Weird Al is excellent.

Francis, If you feel inspired to go longer, go longer!
The 10 minute thing is more to keep from feeling too precious about it, furiously erasing, crumpling drafts, etc...
The urgency also helps make a lot of decisions for you. Maybe you wanted to draw a full body but he works great as a bubblehead! But the shot clock is really flexible.

Z, What’s going on with the hex “coronation” scramble? Is it a new puzzle game you have invented?

hahaha, nope! it's the Queen Bee puzzle from the NYT! i think it's pretty popular! my partner plays every morning and sometimes i help. you must spell as many words as possible using only the letters in the puzzle, and each word MUST use the letter in the center. you get bonus points if you find words that use every single letter, too. so when emily said "coronation", I immediately checked to see if it would be one of those perfect words, and it was!

god, i wish i had invented Queen Bee!

so in the puzzle above, other words would be:

COT
ORCA
CORONATION
TAINT
etc

oops, sorry - I always do that. TAINT wouldn't work because it doesn't have the center letter O

drawing and puzzles over here, basically! can someone get me a refill on this coffee? *kicks feet up on counter*

Philip, I'm a fan of the 10 min limit for myself, for just the reasons you described. it's hard to let a drawing go, but that's the beauty of it

Here's my own premise coupled with Neanderthal's (the elephant and the mouse)

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

How do you all draw without smudging it everywhere?

26(?) — the joker eats spaghetti

Karl, using a harder lead will help - what kind of pencil do you use? I used a Laurentien erasable pencil for those. I've seen people use a piece of paper between the drawing and the side of your hand and even cotton gloves with the fingers cut out. tbh i don't think i make too much contact with my drawing hand

Or use a pen! I don't think I touch the paper much with my hand either, I might worry about smudging for a half hour or more charcoal drawing but not for ten minutes with a pencil.

I'd like to join the thread if I may to get practice at drawing from imagination which is my biggest weakness.

Ok, how about an annoyed sherpa taking a reality tv star up Mt Everest.

i challenge you to make a drawing of M. Zuckerberg looking like even more of a dork than his US-flag-waving-while-riding-an-electric-hydrofoil video from earlier this week, if this interests you and is even possible <3
