Unbroken Lines

getting started

The first issue of the German magazine 'flow' contained an article about '365-day-projects', a concept which I found really interesting. Actually, one of my new years resolutions for 2014 was to do at least one sketch in my diary every day to get some regularity into my drawing, but as always I was too lazy and didn't feel any 'imperative' to implement my, perhaps hastily formed, resolution. I therefore hope that this blog and project will give me the regularity I desire and offer me an opportunity to train my eye and creativity alike, as I would like to improve my drawing and my artistic output in general. Fortunately, 'flow' also offered a list of 116 ideas for 365-days-projects from which I picked one to carry out. Said idea was to PRODUCE ONE SKETCH EVERY DAY WITHOUT TAKING THE PEN FROM THE PAPER. The sketches will depict anything that comes to my mind or catches my eye: people, objects, ideas for later drawings or paintings, exceptional moments of the day; all in all, absolutely anything, sort of like a visual diary. I don't intend to create masterpieces, I just want to practice on a daily basis!

Edit: NO, NO, NO! I won't stop this project - laziness and procrastination just overpowered me! As I sense that this will happen again, I'm introducing a new 'rule' to my project - every time I stop posting pictures for three days I have to start from beginning. Hopefully, this will be enough punishment.
