I have always wanted to learn how to draw as a kid, I mean who hasn't? I would sit in my room making comics instead of doing my school work for the day. But my skill level of drawing always remained at the level of a newborn that haven't even held a pencil before, i would usually give up after a day of drawing because "I didn't have the talent for it." I kick myself every time I pick up a pencil for letting myself believe that you had to have a natural talent to be a successful artist. Its all about the practice! So finally after a few days watching a few of @kaylinart dtube speed videos I thought I would give it a shot and get to practicing!

Where Do I Start?

After looking through Steemits #drawing tag I haven stumbled across a few artists and glanced over their work as I am usually a lurker here on Steemit. I have decided that I want to practice with realism drawing, mostly the human face.

So I thought I should select a part of the human face to study to began my exciting journey to labeling myself as a artist. So back I went to search for more posts on the human face and see if anything catches my eye and something did. I seen a post by @johnbattalgazi and fell in love with the way he drew lips. I wanted to do that. So I begun to draw lips.

As I realized I wont be where I want to be in 30 days of drawing I decided to do something bigger and better. For each part of the human body; lips, nose, ears, eyes etc.. I will be doing 30 days of just that body part. I believe that I will be able to achieve my goal in the 30 days if I remain committed to it.

Day 1:

I had zero art supplies in my house so I went to Staples and purchased a 12 pack of HB2 pencils and two sketch books that I plan to fill in these 30 days of drawing these lushes lips! The totall cost was only $11! so just around 2 STEEM! I was happy about that!

For my first time EVER drawing lips I think I did a really good job after watching a few videos on how to draw them and I am now able to draw lips without mostly looking at a video for guidance. I managed to draw 8 sets of lips in around 4 hours. I honestly never expected to be this dedicated. Having apples Chill Radio station playing in the background definitely helped me keep focused.

So here is the lips I managed to draw up in the first day:
