I loved this, especially because it grew out of your time spent with your step daughter first.
I actually want to do something similar, but with focus on programming. I realized in 2016 that coding every day is the only way to get better, so I'm starting with coding every day and documenting/"vlogging" the progress on snapchat, if someone's interested my username on snapchat to follow along :)
I have been coding every day for several years until I've burnt out, now I'm slowly relearning how to enjoy life. It doesn't work for everyone; my mistake was to start treating unpaid hobby like serious work.
Some time ago I found some obscure forum on the internet with someone who drew some basic figure every day for one year, starting from simple circles. The person was awful at drawing, but in the end the drawings were great. I could never find that forum again.
Through the Wayback Machine, I noticed that one can view an older version [1] which appears to have all the attachments. It's generally a very positive thread.
Maybe this is out of topic, anyone know where is the better resource to learn sketching, especially sketchnotes?
I found this website [1] that gives sketchnotes courses so far. Now, I'm looking for another resources. I love sketchnotes because it's good for visualizing ideas.
There's a daily art one that's been going on for a few years now that you might be interested in joining: https://streak.club/s/8/daily-art
