21 Day Drawing challenge

Now that I have completed my 365 Photo project, I am embarking on a challenge that I am pretty hesitant about.  It is the 21 Day Drawing Challenge and anyone who has had the opportunity to play Pictionary with me will readily agree that drawing is not something that comes naturally to me.  The challenge is a course that is on Lynda.com, http://www.lynda.com/Design-Illustration-tutorials/21-Day-Drawing-Challenge/164144-2.html, if you choose to take this on for yourselves. 

My motivation in taking this on is the desire to improve my drawing ability, even if it is only by a small amount.  I was never much of a doodler or sketcher but have admired the eye and abilities of those who seem to effortlessly make a sketch and have it look good.  I am trying to keep my expectations sort of low but don't want to set myself for failure by keeping the bar too low but I want it low enough that I don't get too discouraged. 

I am planning on adding pictures of my images daily thus continuing my 365 project :).  My supplies are purchased and I am ready to start today.  Hold on tight, this might be a bumpy ride....
