The challenge: it begins with optimism

 30 day drawing challenge:

 Allison Lehmon's 30 day Drawing challenge

I have no idea if Allison Lehmon was the creator of this list, but I found it on her blog, so I'm going to give her credit for showing me the list.  

  I had another creative friend do a 30 day challenge blog, but she kinda went rogue with the idea and just did something beautiful for 30 days, which is cool.  But I kinda like the idea of getting a daily focus.  I might not stick to it, but at least I've got a sturdy backdrop if I need one.  I know I will be wavering just a little bit, because some of the daily assignments will be sample pieces for my art classes.

      I also like the idea it's drawing.  Drawing is like lifting weights.  If you do everyday you will be incredibly strong in no time.  If you stop, you'll almost never have to go back to zero where you started, but you won't be able to pick up where you left off when you stopped either!  I think the most important thing about drawing daily is it helps artist- especially a young artist- develop a recognizable style.  There's nothing worse than not knowing what your style is, or having one so unstructured that no one could pick out your piece from a line up. 

 So here goes.... 30 days into the future.
