SPEED CHALLENGE - Improving your art skills

## Speed Challenge - A SUPERFAST way to improve your art skills
_A quick and easy (okay not always easy) way to improve your drawing or painting skills is to do this simple little speed challenge!_

The artist Mark Crilley came up with the idea for this challenge and I think it's a great practice.

#### How does it work?
Well first of all you need to find a subject to draw, this can be anything. Pick something you already know how to draw real good or something you find challenging.
Set a timer at 10 minutes and..... GO GO GO! Start drawing or painting your subject the best way you can!

Once you are finished with your 10 minute drawing, start over. Now you'll set your timer at 1 minute, that'll sure make drawing a challenge! Be sure to capture the essence of the subject quickly. Make sure you don't spend too much effort on details.

The 1 minute challenge got you **stressed out**? Get ready for the **10 SECONDS** challenge!
Now it really comes down to the basic form, the essence of the subject.

I think I remember doing something like this in college.  Our instructor wanted use to draw with our less dominant also.  It was very challenging.  :?

I refuse to believe you drew that eye and those lips in 10 minutes.

Fantastic tutorial! You have such skill. I'll need to work on this!
Crilley is also a great artist. A friend had mentioned him in the past!

Keep art-ing ;)

@artwithflo, first I have to find something that I can draw freehand even a little bit.  That should prove a challenge!

Great exercise! But just the idea of it already stresses me out, so I probably should be trying this...
