If there is any piece of advice I can pass on to you guys to kick start on your first attempt at this challenge it would be this:


Be ballsy and brave!



As soon as you got all the ingredients in front of you, as soon as you are in the right mind-set to draw (yes, you wanna draw ducks I know), no matter what skill level you are at, tap into your inner crazy and just draw away!


Let go of your worries, let go of your fears. Draw like a loose canon, but do it with purpose.


Allow me say it in another way while you're sketching: do make mistakes, do take risks, and explore every stoke you make on your sketch book. Learn from it.
Because every time you hit another page you'll the muscles in your brain will warm up to a conscious and creative level. This is where you'll start to think critically about how you approach your subject in your next attempt.


Give it a go.  


Here are some samples of this bold exercise. I did it both at work (you do know that I work part-time at the casino right?) and at the studios!


My subjects were cartoon characters and I decided to experiment them in different styles. The characters sketched on this exercise included my own original stuff and the familiar.

Oh and keep in mind, NO WHITE-OUT, NO PENCIL OR ERASERS. Just ink all the way baby! Good luck!
