Challenge Two - Draw!

The first challenge is all about loosening up and letting go. This time, try to maintain the same freedom, but draw anything you like. Set aside at least half an hour, and spend it working on a single picture.

Materials

 * Pencil
 * Blank paper

What To Do
You might: For example, I had a glass with an interesting design on a stool in front of me, and I decided to sketch it. I spent two hours on this drawing (while listening to TV), paying attention to the highlights and shadows. Remember to draw with both the lead (to create shadows) and the eraser (to create highlights).
 * Draw an abstract shape
 * Draw a repeating pattern, like floor tiles
 * Draw people you know
 * Draw cartoon characters
 * Draw a landscape
 * Draw what you see in front of you

When you're finished, post your picture on the Challenge Two - Post Your Picture! page.

Why Do It?
What you draw is not nearly as important as the time you spend. Many people say "I can't draw." But few people sit down for half an hour and actually try it. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. The truth is, anybody can draw. Knowing that, you might be surprised at how well you do when you just draw something purely for fun.

Here's another hint: the fact that you came to this Wiki and you are on Challenge Two means that you actually have some motivation, and you believe you can do this. So relax, have fun, and draw something that makes you happy.
