Day 1 · Contour: draw an object’s outline without shading; check where you guessed instead of looking.
Day 2 · Proportion: mark height and width before details; compare their ratio.
Day 3 · Negative space: draw the gap inside a handle or between objects; check its shape.
Day 4 · Value: use light, middle, and dark tones; keep the groups distinct.
Day 5 · Edges: compare a sharp edge with a soft shadow; choose which attracts attention.
Day 6 · Composition: sketch three arrangements; choose one clear focal point.
Day 7 · Repeat: redraw day one’s object from the same view; name one improved observation.
