Improve your dexterity, control and drawing technique with short, simple daily exercises.

There is a series of drawing exercises I tell myself I’m going to practice every day.

They’re simple, fun, and incredibly helpful drills for gaining control and dexterity with your pencil — so you draw more precisely, yet more freely and easily.

They’re so useful - but only if they’re practiced consistently. They don’t even take long! Just 5-15 minutes a day on a regular basis will make a real difference.

Every time I go to record these exercises for my students and realize I’m rusty at them, I vow to take a few weeks and practice them every day.

But – if I’m honest – that hasn’t quite happened (at least not consistently).

Maybe that rings a bell for you, too.


Maybe you’d love to draw for 10 or 15 minutes a day – if only someone made it really simple for you to show up and do it.


So: let's do this together!


🎯 Introducing the Daily Drawing Drills Challenge

14 days · 10–15 minutes a day

Short, focused drills designed to help you:

  • Develop confident, accurate lines — from wobbly to precise
  • Strengthen your hand–eye coordination and flow
  • Practice freehand shapes, circles, and ellipses for smooth, controlled strokes
  • Visualize simple fractions and proportions to improve your comparative measurement
  • Begin blocking in basic and cylindrical forms with clarity, depth and dimension

Each day builds naturally on the last, helping you translate small, repeatable drills into big improvements in control, accuracy, and ease.

No overwhelm, no guesswork — just 10–15 minutes a day of guided, focused practice that adds up.

🧰 Here’s What’s Inside
  • 14 short video lessons (each under 10 minutes)

  • Printable practice sheets

  • Step-by-step guidance from me each day

  • The accountability and structure that make consistency easy
🌱 This Challenge Is Perfect For You If…
  • You want to make drawing a daily habit again.
  • You feel a bit rusty and want to rebuild comfort with your pencil.
  • You crave short, structured practice sessions that actually make a difference.
  • You want your lines to feel confident, smooth, and expressive.


By the end of 14 days, you’ll notice a lighter, steadier touch, and a sense that your hand finally does what your eye intends.
