Jake Parker | 8 Minute Drawing Challenge Timer @jakeparker44 | Uploaded January 2016 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
The 8 Minute Drawing Challenge goes like this:

Pick a subject, could be anything. Like a dog, or a truck, or a helicopter, or a self portrait, or a tree house.

Grab a sheet of paper and divide it into 6 even sections.

Click play on this video and when the timer starts you have 4 minutes to draw your subject in one of the sections.

When it beeps again you start another drawing in the second section, but this time you only have 2 minutes to draw it.

Then do it in 1 minute. Then 30 seconds. Then 15 seconds. And finally 5 seconds.

Now compare your drawings.

It's a great exercise for getting faster and better at drawing. A side benefit is that it lays a foundation for you to find your individual style.
