I am a quarter of the way through the challenge to draw on every day in 2015. Time flies when you are having fun.

I am getting better at not spending too much time deciding what to draw. I try to choose subjects that have some relevance to what I've done during the day. If nothing comes to mind, I just pick something.

Leaves are one of my favourite subjects. You get all the enjoyment of detailed observation and modelling without having to go overboard with highly accurate measurements.

This month I've realised the importance of fixative. When I am at home, I usually spray each drawing as soon as it is finished. Unfortunately, I didn't pack any fixative for my recent trip to Chicago. On a number of days I spoilt the previous day’s drawing by rubbing my hand through it as I drew or shaded.
