CHALLENGES, LIKE IT'S MY JOB


So, yet again, I've started a challenge with a friend. We have both been discussing how we live a go go go life, and spend what little time we have to ourselves watching tv or surfing social media, yet still feel like we haven't enough time in the day to pursue the things we really want to pursue. We find excuses, when really, what we do is just waste time on sites like facebook, candy crush, and pinterest (I know its blasphemy but it just SUCKS TIME), not even really doing anything on there, just browsing, then at the end of the day, we complain that we get no 'us' time.  PFFFF. 

So we've decided to do a 15 day challenge with each other, to force ourselves to take no less than 15 minutes of each day during the challenge and dedicate it to a chosen hobby that we want to get back into. 15 days, to start small, so that this first attempt won't be seem overwhelming, and posting together on our respective blogs to keep each other accountable to the challenge.  No lie, we texted each other at, like, 10:45 PM last night to follow up on the day's progress.  Both of us were just then working on it...

Needless to say, my goal is to sketch every day, just like every other challenge attempt.  I have faith though. I will make it this time. My friend, V, has challenged herself to write on her blog every day for 15 days. Here is the link to her blog: http://ihshoes.wordpress.com/ . It's a fun blog to read for the everyday woman.

That being said... Today is day 3 of our challenge.  Below are sketches from days 1 and 2 of 15. Both in my 5x7ish moleskin sketchbook with pencil.
