My first 365 drawing project was started on January 1, 2010, with all the inspirations of my drawings coming from my environment. The overall goal for this first year was to improve the way I saw and depicted the world around me. At school, I noticed that I wasn't seeing the same details that the other students were, like the reflected light in the shadows of an object or the subtle curves of the human body. So in order to improve my skills as an observer, I forced myself to pay more attention to the little details.

All the drawings in 2010 were done in graphite because it was a medium I was comfortable with, and it took the stress out of creating a 'perfect' piece because of the "undo" button. With graphite, I could focus more on observation than the techniques of the medium.

These are a few of my favorite things... Over the course of two 365 drawing projects, a few drawings have stuck out in my mind.
