Because my biggest challenge is mainly time, I opted to go for drawing at least 10 minutes a day with graphite on Strathmore Toned Tan paper. If I had more time, I would then ink or shade, and possibly add color. It is clear what days I had more time. My schedule was evenings, unless it was the weekend or I was traveling, and my subject was butterflies... if I didn't have something else to draw.

All of my art was posted to Instagram @elizabeth.mcgraw.art. I never used Instagram until now, so I have dedicated this account to just my art and have continued posting (almost) daily sketch, progress or completed artwork.

Now that I have completed this exercise I am going back and using these drawings to experiment with various mediums. So far I have added ink to quite a few and completed one using Inktense pencils.

Thank you for a great class! Atomic Habits is what originally got me back into art. But this class truly increased my art productivity.
