Creative Sandbox Community July creative challenge, day 7: foot. Practicing drawing feet, quickly and simply. You can see the progression in just a dozen! From top left to bottom right, my foot looks more proportional and human-foot-like. 🖍
Practice makes better. 😊 We’re not aiming for perfection here, because perfectionism paralyzes. But aiming for improvement? THAT I can get behind. 😊👍

It’s the July #doodlechallenge in the #doodleinstitute with @diane.bleck, who teaches you how to draw and makes it SO EASY! Look at these people—they are made of a circle head + a U (or squared-off U) shaped body. Add some stick arms and legs and a few accoutrements, and they have occupations! Anyone can do this!
🖍
Add figures like these to your next whiteboard or sketchnotes to make them more memorable, engaging, and FUN!
🖍
And be sure to follow Diane. Her challenges are always fun, and you’ll learn so much! She’s the bomb!
