And [John Muir Laws](https://www.youtube.com/user/JohnMuirLaws)' nature journaling stuff.  I warm up with the mark-making exercises from Lesson 1 of [DrawABox](https://drawabox.com).   I also have been trying to improve my intuitions with perspective by doing [this sort of stuff](https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtFundamentals/comments/fiukpa/rotating_boxes_exercise/).  The nature journaling is good because I can never think of what to draw and starting with rocks, plants, insects, birds, is a pretty straightforward progression to my mind.\r\n\r\nAs for if it is difficult, I am trying to keep these habits pretty simple and low-demand to start out.  Even if I were to only spent 5 or 10 minutes drawing I'd still count it and be happy.  Typically once I get started drawing it is easy to keep going.  There have been a few days where all I've done is a page of ghosted lines and planes exercises.\r\n\r\nProgramming is one of those things that I've always been able to fall into a hole and lose all track of time with when I can get myself to do it.  For whatever reason, I have a hard time getting myself to start it.\r\n\r\nOut of all of them, meditating has probably been the hardest to get myself to do.  The morning and night routines are kind of a gimme.  \r\n\r\n\r\nedit - oh, and [Proko's](http://proko.com/) figure drawing course","subreddit_name":"theXeffect","author":"Ricen_"},{"body":"FYI, Alphonso is one to talk about plagiarizing.\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Simple-Guide/dp/0997046538/ref=sr\\_1\\_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=alphonso+dunn\u0026amp;qid=1598682943\u0026amp;s=books\u0026amp;sr=1-1](https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Simple-Guide/dp/0997046538/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1\u0026amp;keywords=alphonso+dunn\u0026amp;qid=1598682943\u0026amp;s=books\u0026amp;sr=1-1)\r\n\r\n\u0026amp;#x200B;\r\n\r\n[https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Dover-Instruction/dp/0486497151](https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Dover-Instruction/dp/0486497151)","subreddit_name":"Inktober","author":"Polistickers"},{"body":"I think it's both.
