15-Day Challenge: Learn to draw what you see
Train your eyes and hands to work together and actually see what you’re drawing.
You don’t need fancy tools or natural talent to start drawing what you see with more confidence. This 15-day challenge will walk you through the essential building blocks of observational drawing—one step at a time. By the end, you'll have learned how to capture shape, shadow, proportion, and detail in a way that feels surprisingly doable (and even fun).
This challenge is perfect if:
You’re a beginner or “haven’t drawn since high school” but want to get back into it.
You’re looking for bite-sized exercises to build your skills and confidence.
You want to learn how to really see the world like an artist does.
What’s inside:
Daily drawing prompts that build foundational skills, like contour drawing, perspective, shading, gesture, and proportions.
Real-world practice with still-life setups, hand studies, and textures.
Fun challenges like upside-down drawings and grid work to stretch your brain in the best way.
A final project that brings all your new skills together into one completed piece.
Why it works:
The challenge breaks things down into simple, doable exercises that gradually level up your skills. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about learning to trust your eyes, train your hand, and enjoy the process of drawing again.
