Draw every day for 43 days

A year ago or so I came across someone who had committed to drawing in a sketchbook each day for 100 days (she wouldn’t have considered herself and “artist” before she started). The idea was to give herself permission to simply get comfortable with it, develop the hand/eye coordination specific to drawing, etc. It didn’t matter if the drawing was “good” or not, as long as it happened. She said the results were amazing. By simply allowing herself to consistently play and explore for 100 days, her drawing improved markedly.

I picked up the idea with the same intent. I think I made it maybe three weeks before it fell off my radar. During that time, I noticed a definite improvement.

In keeping with the theme of 43, I want to draw every day for 43 days. That’s probably more likely for me to stick with than 100 days anyway. If I decide I want to do more, I can always re-up for another 43 days.
