I'm doing Inktober at the moment (and not willing to share images out of shame!) and I think struggling a bit. I haven't drawn much anyways - I'm on my twelve overall drawing - and so I'm not very good at it. For today, I decided to just do something very simple and "primitive" in a way. As in, instead of trying something more complex, where I need to focus a lot. For instance, I tried to draw a specific something, as in a house my parents stayed in on holiday recently, or a tree. These were too complex and the drawing turned out not very good.
So, what I did today was just a little sketch of some buildings, and a small person drawing them with a caption to it. It's not very good, but it actually seems a little better just by sheer dint of having lower aspirations. I'm not trying to be Picasso and drawing a squiggly line, I'm trying to sketch a bit and I ending up actually sketching a bit, if not very well.
I think that is what I will try. I am also going to try the "course" at @@[cravepainting.com][https://cravepainting.com/topic-1-still-life]. It lists out some topics to try each day, with a different theme each week. For instance, in the first week, "kitchen and bathroom objects" is the topic, but I will just sketch it and not just to aspire to anything above my grade.
