Month Two Complete!

Unbelievably, two months have now passed and I'm still drawing every day!  By unbelievable, I mean, "holy crap, where did the time go?"  It seems like just yesterday I picked up a pen and started sketching dolphins and bananas.  This is where doing this every day sure has helped.  If I only tried to draw when I had free time, or when I felt like it, I'd likely have half the production and even less improvement.  A little bit every day really adds up.  How much?  Let's take a look:

This practically speaks for itself.  First picture: horrible proportions, wonky shading and, really, just plain ugly.  Second picture: near flawless proportions, nice shading and I'd wager the image is darn pretty.  The difference is night and day.  After one month, improvements weren't easy to find.  Amazing how two months, just 30 more days, makes it so much easier.

That said, I feel my best work in month one is better than my best in month two (perhaps beginner's luck?).  The real difference is that my worst images in this second month are much better than the corresponding worst ones from April.  Let's celebrate with another look at my favourites from the last four weeks.

My confidence is starting to grow.  I'm starting to feel that this isn't a hopeless enterprise.  I've already exceeded my initial expectations, and now I'm setting my sights higher.  I've drawn less than 45min only twice in the past ten days, and both were work related time shortages.  I literally feel ecstatic as I look at my results.  If two months can do this, what will another two do?  We'll find out soon enough.
