I am keeping up with the challenge to draw on every day in 2015. So far I've drawn on 59 consecutive days.

| Kettle 17 & 18 February 2015 Graphite Pencil Daler Rowney A5 Graduate Sketchbook 149mm x 210mm (5.9" x 8.3") |
I haven’t clearly defined how much drawing I have to do each day. Theoretically, I would probably let myself off with a couple of minutes of scribbling, but so far it hasn't come to that. On a couple of occasions I have not been inspired to draw, but I've quickly become engrossed in the subject and gone on to draw for 20 minutes or more.

| New Lilies 26 February 2015 Graphite Pencil Daler Rowney A5 Graduate Sketchbook 149mm x 210mm (5.9" x 8.3") |
The drawings on this post took varying amounts of time. The kettle must've taken at least an hour and a half over two days, but the lilies took barely 20 minutes.

| Hamish 27 February 2015 Graphite Pencil Daler Rowney A6 Graduate Sketchbook 14.9cm x 10.5cm (5.9" x 4.1") |
The drawing of Hamish only took a couple of minutes. It was part of a session of hurried sketches during which Hamish moved every time he caught me looking at him. Dogs don’t seem to like being drawn. Even when they are asleep they quickly sense you are staring at them and then start fidgeting. He was tired after a long walk, but not so tired he was going to let anyone create unlicensed images of him.

Drawing every day means repeating subjects I've drawn before – the kettle has appeared on a previous post (see Starting to Sketch) – this month I've redrawn most of the subjects on that post. I'm looking forward to the weather improving, so it is more comfortable to draw outdoors.
