Day 3 - ONE MONTH CHALLENGE™ could be more challenging...

Today proceeded just like any other day. Drew a page of faces, played a few games of Go. I think it's time I took this a step further, before I put the ONE MONTH CHALLENGE™ to shame. The next logical step to take is to get some fresh air, sunshine, and good old exercise. If I can brave the cold then I'll start making morning (yes MORNING) bike rides. If not then I can bust out the treadmill, which has the nice bonus of being able to read or watch television, but then again there's nothing quite like a peaceful ride through the neighborhood.

As for my Drawing and Go progress, I think it's time I stepped that up, as well.

For Drawing:

• 3 sketchbook pages a day. 1 page of faces, 1 small still life, and we'll leave the third page as a wild card.

For Go (These suggestions taken from this helpful guide written by David Mechner):

• Have 2 games reviewed by a stronger player each week.
• Completely solve at least 5 tsumego problems a day.
• Seriously study and incorporate into games 1 joseki per week.
• Once I get my books, 5 tesuji problems a day, and..
• Daily study of either Opening Theory Made Easy (by Otake Hideo) or Lessons in The Fundamentals of Go (by Toshiro Kageyama)

Quite a list there, but it shouldn't be too hard. I just have to pull my self away from the video games a little more and wake up a little earlier.

So! Drawings for today:

These look a lot better when you don't have a reference image to compare them too...

Until next time,
