Where can I find 365 things to draw?

This is a good resolution! But drawing geometrical objects or sticking to a plan like that can get boring. If it were me, I’d resolve to draw one thing from life every day. That way you can draw something when you feel inspired as opposed to sticking to a list that might start to feel like a chore.

You should look for the book “Drawing from the right side of the brain.” It’s great for learning drawing from life. Good luck!

Cool resolution! Good on you.

Look on a daily illustration calendar or similar choice.

@Haleth I’m pretty sure my sister actually has that book. I’ll have to steal it from here while I’m still home. She’s absent-minded enough that she’ll never find out. Muahaha. In the case she doesn’t though, ‘bout how much is it?

@YARNLADY that would be PERFECT. Any tips on where I can find such a mythical beastie?

@Grisaille Thanks. It’s more out of necessity really.

Maybe here

Great project. I should do the same. I just wanted to input that a factoid is something that appears to be true but isn’t. It is a broad repetition of stories or information that can be supported by tradition, word of mouth, uninformed articles, erroneous books or otherwise seemingly credible sources or just that it appears in print.

For your exercise, you could just pick random objects from around your house to draw, so the exercise doesn’t become too time consuming. I’m assuming that in order to stick to this, you’re looking for a daily time investment of 30 minutes or less. Drawing 3 dimensional objects you actually have would improve your skills more than drawing from a two dimensional object.

Just pick things you happen on—your shoes, coins, a screw, canned goods, fruits and vegetables, jewelry, your feet, a pet, books, a chair, etc. Simple things that you can actually see and focus on getting the detail and shaping correct.

Why not think of connections, for instance, say today you draw a barn, (hey, barns are cool right?) well tomorow you draw something that’s connected to the previous days work, so maybe a tractor (it lives in the barn), then the day after that, maybe a plough, then a field of corn, then perhaps a scarecrow…...............etc etc etc. the connections can be as tenuous as you like and you could maybe even make a wee story as to the drawings.
This might be a good thing to do with kids, “so we drew a boat yesterday, what is connected with a Boat?” – get ideas from the kids maybe?

Carry a small sketchbook with you everywhere you go. When you have downtime, pull it out and draw an object or scene near you. That way you will have a variety of things to draw and new stimulation daily.

One thing to do is get one of those wooden mannequins and draw that from different angles in different positions in different lighting positions. It’s a good way to practice proportion and viewing angles, and they have small ones you can carry with you in a large pocket.

A book I have thought about is 642 Things to Draw: Journal [Diary] It is on Amazon for around $10. I have considering this same thing for awhile and I believe I will go with a children’s dictionary. That would give me a reference when I need it too. Good luck.
