1) Try to do as many of the sketches as possible on-the-go.
2) Use a portable, abundant, convenient, and yet unforgiving "medium" (in my case, that seems to be a ballpoint pen).
3) Find something worth sketching even in unlikely places.
4) Never spend more than a few minutes on each sketch.
Here are my first three scribbles. . . rough perhaps, but lively, oddly liberating, and I am already enjoying the idea of having a tiny sketchbook with me wherever I go. It seems appropriate to include the brief thoughts I have been jotting beside each sketch as well. . .

I've been thinking about starting with a draw 365 challenge. Right now with me taking a class, I'm practically doing something artsy every day, but I want to get to a sketchbook like you did. I like your rules. :)
by the way, those are excellent sketches! :)
Thanks very! I'd love to see what you come up with. . . this seems to be a wonderful project for artists (no wonder so many have been taking it on!) What class are you taking?
