Maybe it IS okay, and maybe necessary, to take a day off from time to time (I didn't get to draw at all yesterday and was having withdrawal symptoms!). Overall I agree that it's good exercise, though, and if you don't like all your efforts (and I don't like all MINE, either), well so what. It was time spent observing, paying attention, trying. It's just a piece of paper, after all... I liked your exercise machine, though...I think you're being too critical of yourself! Thanks for the reminder, Jeff!

Look at them in a week...if you're anything like me, you'll like them a lot more. I agree with Blade...daily sketching...it's physical...hand/eye and all that. GREAT for getting back on the horse. You rock! Kim Hi Jeff,

I think you are doing a great job drawing every day. I firmly believe that spending between at least 5-10 minutes with a sketchbook everyday can only serve to make you a better all round artist. Even the days that don't turn out so well teach you things. Keep it up! You win some, you learn some, eh? I think you are doing a great job drawing every day.
