You can draw anything at all and it can be very very quick, less than a minute, or as slow as you wish.The objective is to make a drawing a day for month.
To start, try drawing your feet, like this beautiful study here by Leonardo da Vinci... not into feet?...sketch a tree, a view from the train, a song....use your visual journal notebook and date each journal entry.
Once you get in the habit you may find you are making more than one drawing a day.
