Drawing

Hello ! I really love journaling and every creative stuff. I want to improve my drawing techniques. I saw on internet that drawing everyday even small things is a good exercise. But I don't know what i should draw. Any advice?

Drew Snoopy dancing for a gift card to my mom! She wanted the “A Charlie Brown Christmas” album on CD, but it got delayed in the mail, so I needed something as a placeholder. Dancing Snoopy hit the spot!

Started drawing again after a long gap of too many years.

I'm looking forward to practicing with this medium more, I used to love it but I haven't done anything with it in years.

Learning to draw. After some spheres (and pyramids) I thought I’d try an eye (always wanted to draw eyes).

After a couple of attempts at irises I thought I’d try grey paper with a white pencil (that’s pretty pale) and some white charcoal to give me more range and leeway to add some highlights.

The highlights on the eye didn’t quite work out but I’m happy with the rest.

Feedback and tips very welcome. Happy to talk about what I’m doing too.

I haven't drawn in this loose style very much before, but my friend inspired me to try. She said she draws basic shapes (triangles, squares) and then does shading, rather than drawing specific things like body parts. I did much more scribbling.

What do you think? Anything you like or dislike about my drawings? I'd love to hear :D

So my wife is doing this fun thing on her Instagram where she makes a reel of opening an art supplies advent calendar and then a sketch/painting/whatever with the item she got out. I think they are getting better every day but engagement is constantly dropping.

Does anyone have experience with posting their stuff on Instagram? Particularly reels, as that's the new thing that she's doing this month.

It's kind of disheartening to see the effort being put in and the amount of likes they get compared to other things on the platform.

I print these on stickers and put them on pretty much all letters and packages I send.

I used to get up before my wife due to work. I sometimes left her sticky notes, everything from informative to shenanigan. I just rediscovered this one while looking for something else. Looks like I made grated apple that morning.

A leftover drawing I never got around to use in anything. And to why Chewbacca was in court? I totally forgot why.
