Christine Brallier and I made a pact that we were going to do at least five minutes of sketching every day. It's something I wish I did regularly since I enjoy it and it helps me become a better artist, but I rarely do it! But now I have made a pact with a friend AND I'm declaring it here to the world (or at least to the one or two people that might read this) that I will sketch for at least 5 minutes a day from here on out. So far two days successfully completed! I also want to do 60 situps a day, but that's another story...Anyone want to join us (sketching or sit-ups!)?

What a clever pact. I'll drop by everyday to check on your sketches... ;-)
It's a wonderful sketch. You definitely know how to make these birds come to life even in 5 minutes.
Yikes! Uploading images to the computer and to the site everyday is a pact for another day! :) Have a good one, Irit!
thanks! i love that you are setting that time out each day ... the idea of 5 minutes could, in all reality be doable ... really! something i would really like to try ... my little sketch book sits right here in front of my 'puter ... and look! there's a pencil ... i am definitely going to try this.
congrats on two days in ... i really like your lively bird! looking forward to seeing many more postings ~ some of the best sketches are the quickies!

Impressive! I'd much rather commit to the sit-ups. ;-)
Prairie Girl - Join us! Sometimes people just need to know that other people are on the same road. I already sketched today - my cat, laundry sink, a few other things. Nothing profound. Good luck! :) Let's keep in touch!
Crystal - too funny!
I'd love to join the pact. I've been sketching and journaling for a while, but I'd love to join in and have to comradery.
LOL! I'll commit to situps and a 10 mile jog ;-)
... and then live vicariously through you and Christine!!!
Kim - You are on your own with a 10 mile jog!! Wow!
Connie's in! Okay, we've got four people sketching away every day! Let's every once in a while post some sketches - not even best sketches or fabulous sketches, just any sketch. Maybe someday if we get bored or stuck we can issue sketch challenges to each other! :) Good luck!
Hi Barbara-
I sketch everyday, usually at night around 10 pm. I love to, and it's relaxing. Then I get out my colored pencils and color. You would be surprised how good these sketches look when you go back a week or two later to look at them! Actually this is my treat to myself. :) Laura.
Oh, Laura, that's where I want to get to! Baby steps... Thanks!
I love the idea of sketching 5 minutes a day. Hmmm, have the sketchbook, kids in school next week, so that means car rider line and so that sounds like a plan :)
Linda, sounds like the time has come! :) Next week (can't believe it's already time for school again!) is a perfect time to start. Good luck, and check in again! Glad you are joining us!
Wow! How fun to have so many join us!
You are on to something here :). What a great idea!
