Day 3 of getting better at drawing. Today a shoe 👟

4/16 Edited to

... Read moreAs someone who has taken on daily drawing challenges, I’ve learned that progress often comes in small, important steps. On day 3, tackling a shoe might seem simple, but capturing its unique shape and details, like the Converse Chuck Star logo, requires keen observation and patience. When I draw shoes, I focus on the contours and shadows that give them dimension. Pencil drawings are great for this because you can easily shade and adjust lines to improve accuracy. Even if the sketch isn’t perfect, acknowledging these imperfections is part of the learning process. It encourages continual practice and helps identify areas to improve. One tip I find useful is breaking down the shoe into basic shapes first—circles, rectangles, and triangles—to map out proportions before diving into details. This step sets a solid foundation and makes adding finer details like laces or textures more manageable. Sharing my drawings on platforms with hashtags like #drawingonshoes and #artchallenge connects me to a community where others are also progressing day by day. This support network offers feedback and motivation, both key elements to enhance skill growth. Overall, daily sketch challenges turn into rewarding experiences by pushing me out of my comfort zone. Consistent effort, even over just a few days, builds confidence and sharpens artistic abilities. Whether it’s a shoe, a plant, or any object, each drawing teaches something new that contributes to better artwork over time.

Haven’t been drawing a lot and I can just feel myself getting rusty. So I’m going back to drawing every day. I’ve been feeling kinda gross all day though, so all you get today is a quick little doodle. #tiredartist #sketched #doodling #art #dailyhabits

Today’s drawing of the day is a page full of eyes 👀 I mixed drawing eyes into things from nature 🌱 I think it’s an uncommon combination and I love how it turned out 😍 I used a fine tip pen for the small details and an ink pen brush for the bold details. I’m still getting used to the new thic
