10,000 bad drawings (200/10000)
-
I think you have set a great goal and it seems to be working for you. Challenges are all about what you personally want to get out of it, and this is obviously what you want. Congratulations on your 100 drawing pages in 20 days. I see some from the classes here. I hope you are getting a lot out of them. Developing a process and a daily habit will both definitely benefit you. I am excited to see where you go in the next month. !!!!!!!

I love this idea! I am such a perfectionist that I am always scared to draw things and share them. I think because I won’t draw things in case they turn out bad, I am majorly missing out on some amazing works I could create. I have a giant project I’m working on (you can see it on the forum under HELP (Please
) where I am going to be failing a lot and it is so hard and scary! Way to be brave! And don’t give up!!! -
Totally agree with @Joanne-Roberts. 100 in 20 days, it s amazing! And they re not even bad! Keep up the good work!

This sounds familiar. I think the SVS Holy Trinity has touched on this topic in the past. What I get from it is, that it takes a lifetime to become a master at something and to just keep churning out your art, that you will get there. Keep a positive outlook on this project so you don't get burned out and know that even if you slow down, that every little bit you do will get you one step closer to your goal(s). I say goal(s) because it seems as soon as we artists get to what we think of as our goal, we immediately see a new one on the horizon. Good luck. =)x

I dont understand this.
so if you get to 10000 your drawings will then always be appealing?to me all my drawings are bad, because i don't care about appeal yet, because i'm learning. when I think i've got the foundations right, i can try to work on my appeal. I mean as in constant drawing.

@arielg even when you are working on the fundamentals, your lines will get better, your understanding and ability to draw shapes in perspective to form will improve and so what you mean by appeal will grow over time. I don't understand drawing and learning the fundamentals as separate from visual appeal, just a progression forward. @Shyam-Sailus is drawing 10,000 works to keep on moving forward, understanding and applying on the go. That's my impression at least.

@Heather-Boyd well its obvious that someone not learning the fundamentals and doing 10k will improve much less than a guy who is actually doing the job, which is much harder. doesn't necessarily mean the first guy wont improve, but he will have much less understanding and thus more probable less improvement.
my question was - why is the need for 10k bad drawings? its very dependent on your attitude when you draw.
it sounds like every drawing should be bad. why? and also why should a drawing be any good if you haven't got fundamentals yet? well it can.
I just don't understand the purpose of all this. there are marathons of iteration, like draw 100 faces. or 100 eyes. or 250 boxes/cylinders.
which focus on improvement. this 10k bad drawings seem to focus on continued bad drawing?? can you explain this...? -
@arielg I believe it's called 10,000 bad drawings in order to remove the pressure on the artist to make good work. it gives artists the permission to screw up, experiment, and have fun. In my opinion, the right title should be just '10,000 drawings'. it could be bad, it could be good. The quality is not important.

@Shyam-Sailus I absolutely love this idea! I have been looking through my work a lot, and I keep thinking, “I don’t draw enough.” I’m always rather hesitant to draw because I’m afraid of a bad drawing. I would love to do this challenge, and I was wondering how you are going about it. Are you doing techniques? Or just whatever you want?
