October Hands
I started drawing hands everyday in October with various pens as a nod towards Inktober. These are some of the early hands.

One Drawing a Day
I commit to produce at least one drawing per day EVERY day for a year —365 days in a row — varying my materials, my location, and my thinking.
My sources for direction and inspiration are the Sketchbook School One Drawing A Day online class ( https://sketchbookskool.com/kourses/a-drawing-a-day ) and One Drawing A day, a 6 – week course exploring creativity with illustration and mixed media (1dad) which is a book written by Veronica Lawlor.
I will do all the exercises in the book and in the on line class in the same sketchbook — a 9 by 12 Series 200 Strathmore Mixed Media — and only use that book for this project. I will draw every day but in other sketchbooks if it is not for 1dad project.

Imagination > Knowledge
“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.”
— Robert Fulghum
