As someone interested in telling stories with drawings, I'm struck by how much information little doodles like this can convey. I definitely won't forget an otherwise 'unforgettable' hour as a result. A fun exercise and DEFINITELY something I want to do more of.
I'd love if you'd join me in this challenge! Choose one hour this week to document in sketches. Leave a comment here with a link to your post and I'll create a master list of the 'one-hour exercises' that I'll post next Thursday [February 25].

look at that handsome devil!
Haha...sorry 'bout that.
This is a great idea I'll have to try. All of these are wonderful, but I love the dogs ... I can almost hear the drool hitting the ground!
Well,I'll have a crack at it.
Your lines are lovely, Suzanne.
I just love your blog!! These are great drawings, as well.
Though I'm not a visual artist, I totally relate to this kind of artwork (the kind with time limits, incorporated for frequency). Since I write and post a poem on my site every day, I spend between 30-75 minutes writing every weekday...it is so good for one's brain, and it is a good way to quiet an inner critic (perhaps by strengthening my artistic voice).
I also love the quote you have posted about what we would try if we didn't fear failing...rah, rah!!
Thanks for the challenge!!
Just finished mine - took a bit longer than an hour to colour because I got a bit distracted...

This is such a lovely idea!! I just returned back from a real long vacation.. was a vacation from sketching too more or less.. Would love to ease on to sketching with this challenge!
I'm going to give it a shot!

Hi Suzanne! Great idea! I saw this post before I went away with girlfriends for the weekend, and I knew I'd have some sketching time. Here are my sketches while window shopping:

The ideal opportunity came up today to do this. An hour to fill, and your idea to fill it.
Thanks.
