If you have pets at home try drawing them when they are asleep. You can practice every single day! Think of it like a daily run except it improves your drawing capabilities instead of your fitness. Heres two 5 minute sketches of my dogs I just did for today

>>7939545 >blind contours draw the outline (contours) of a reference, while never looking down at your paper, only the reference, and do so with a single continuous line >envelope method it's the krenz shit they do over at /asg/. You begin by tracing the outline over a reference image, but simplified into bulky geometrical shapes (5-6 straight lines), then you copy that exact simple shape accurately, and begin filling it afterwards >Cognitive Method pretty sure this is just "copy a reference, then draw from memory, check for mistakes, do another copy, then another from memory" and you repeat a couple times more.
