ART CHALLENGE:
DRAW A DANDELION IN 1 MIN, 5 MIN, & 10 MIN

This challenge is a fun way for artists of all levels to test their skills and see how much detail they can capture within different time constraints.

Let’s take a look at how I did with this challenge...

Please note these videos have been sped up and are meant to give you an idea of what I can accomplish within each time constraint.

1 MINUTE

As you can see, I just managed a basic sketch of a dandelion. Quick sketching is a skill that will come in handy when nature journaling! Keep in mind, you can always add details later or use your sketches as references.

5 MINUTES

In five minutes I was able to add ink and a little color to my illustration.

10 MINUTES

With ten minutes I had time to create a more detailed illustration. Not only did I add ink pen and color, I also added shading.

This is a great exercise in speed drawing and pushing yourself to work efficiently while still achieving a visually pleasing result. So grab your pencils and timers, and see what kind of dandelion masterpiece you can create!
