Day 2: Learn how to draw simple cartoons

I decided it'll be fun to learn to draw some of the famous cartoons. I'm attempting to do these for the 1st time. You might think it took me 5 minutes but you'd be wrong, it took me a few hours. lol I guess I won't have a career in drawing cartoons anytime soon.

When I was younger I used to watch "The Simpsons." I went online to see how I can draw Bart. It looked pretty simple. Here it is.

Well My Bart Simpson looks a bit skinny but I think he didn't turn out too bad.

Since Bart was kind of fun to draw I proceeded to learn how to draw "Blossom" from "The Powerpuff Girls." She's a cutie. I must admit she was much more complicated for me to do. Even though at first glance she looked easy to draw. She looks a bit skinny too. hehehe

I still love her.

I love everything "Hello Kitty" my next and last attempt is the adorable little kitty. Even though I thought she'll be the easiest to do,  I was not successful on my 1st try. Here she is. I believe a 5 year old can do better than this.

I thought I should try again and see how i can improve. I'm a bit prouder this time.

Learning something new each day.

I'm sure you've heard the expression, "you learn something new every day." I wanted to test that theory and make it happen.
Kids learn something new all the time but as we become adults we stop challenging ourselves. We get into our habits and we stop learning. That's why I want to learn something new everyday. I will use everyday items I have at home. I want to learn new crafts, draw, cook, learn a poem, words, skills, language, learn a magic trick etc.
No matter how silly or embarassing I will post my succesful tries and unsuccessful attempts. I believe we learn form our successes as much as our failures.

So get ready. I don't know how frequently I can post. My intention is to learn something, not just do it for the sake of it. I would love to challenge myself and post something new each day, however that might be unrealistic. What if the internet is not working or I go on holiday? Just because I don't post it at the same time it doesn't mean that I didn't learn something that day.  


This is what I hope accomplish:

a) My mind will be active. More brain activity
b) Bragging rights...to my friends and family
c) Make/lose friends :p
d) Be open to learn
e) Find out my strength/ weaknesses


I will attempt this crazy idea for a year. Oh, my God!!! What am I getting myself into??? Tomorrow will be an interesting day for me. Stay tuned and keep me on my toes. Throw ideas my way and I will try to do them. Huh! It should be fun. I'm so excited>.<
