Challenging myself on a daily basis.

To challenge my self to draw on a daily basis and to try to draw stuff I don't usually draw I'm going to do a daily drawing challenge type thing. I found the list of sketchbook ideas below yesterday and I'm going to try to do one of these sketches each day. I found the list on the Virtual Instructor Blog.
