Draw 100: A 100 day drawing challenge

$9.99 to unlock Your first pack is on us.

Draw 100 is a hundred drawings: one prompt a day, twenty minutes, no erasing allowed. The point is a hundred finished things, not one good thing. Each day starts with a 10 minute line warm up of straight lines, circles and boxes on scrap paper, then the prompt. Days 1 to 5 are a mug, your own hand, a pair of shoes, fruit with its shadow and the view from a window.

Daily workload: 3 daily goalsDaily core: Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
Difficulty: Steady

Example: a sample day

Day 1: what a day looks like

Daily core Do a 5 minute warm up sketch Same every day
Task 2 Draw a mug, no erasing
Task 3 Write what you want to draw by Day 100

Need a lighter day? Can't fit it in today? Use a Rest Day: your streak is kept and the day waits for you.

Every day has 3 goals: your daily core (the same every day), Task 2 and Task 3, each with a short why. Open a day to read all three.

- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw a mug, no erasing
  Choose a sketchbook or a stack of plain paper to hold all 100 drawings, and any pencil you already have. Set a 20 minute timer and draw a mug from your kitchen. No erasing: if a line is wrong, leave it and draw the right one beside it.
  Why: No erasing keeps you moving forward, and this first mug becomes the drawing you measure everything against on Day 100.
- Task 3
  Write what you want to draw by Day 100
  Why: A few honest lines about what you hope to draw gives the next 99 days a direction you picked yourself.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw your own hand
  Rest your non drawing hand on the table in a relaxed pose and draw it for 20 minutes. Look at your hand more than your paper. Draw the outline first, then the creases and nails.
  Why: Your hand is a model that is always with you, and it is full of shapes, creases and angles to study.
- Task 3
  Do five one minute sketches of your hand
  Why: Quick sketches in new poses teach you to catch the big shape fast, which is a different skill from slow, careful looking.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw a pair of shoes
  Put a pair of shoes on the floor and draw them for 20 minutes from where you sit. Notice how one shoe hides part of the other, and draw only what you can actually see.
  Why: Overlap is how a flat drawing starts to feel like real space, and shoes show it beautifully.
- Task 3
  List ten things at home you want to draw
  Why: A ready list means you never waste drawing time wondering what to draw next.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw a piece of fruit with its shadow
  Set one piece of fruit near a window or lamp. Draw its outline, then press harder to darken the side facing away from the light and the shadow it drops on the table. Twenty minutes, no erasing.
  Why: Light and shadow are what make a circle look like a round apple. This is your first taste of it.
- Task 3
  Take a 10 minute shape hunting walk
  Why: Walking and naming the simple shapes in things (circles, boxes, triangles) trains your eye to see drawings everywhere.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw the view from a window
  Sit by any window and draw what you see for 20 minutes: rooftops, a tree, a parked car, a wall. Start with the biggest shapes and add details only at the end.
  Why: Big shapes first is the habit that keeps a drawing from falling apart, and a window gives you a ready made frame.
- Task 3
  Write three words for how drawing feels so far
  Why: Checking in with how it feels, not how it looks, helps you keep going on the days the drawing fights back.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Draw a houseplant or a leaf
  Draw a houseplant, or a single leaf picked up outside, for 20 minutes. Follow the veins and the edges slowly, as if your pencil is an ant walking along them.
  Why: Slow tracing with your eyes and pencil together is called contour drawing, and it builds the link between seeing and drawing.
- Task 3
  Sort your drawings by what you like best
  Why: Ranking your drawings so far, even quickly, teaches you what you enjoy drawing and what to try more of.
- Daily core Same every day
  Do a 5 minute warm up sketch
  Why: A few minutes of focused marks steadies your hand and wakes up your eye, so the day's main drawing starts with more control.
- Task 2
  Spread out your first week
  Easy day. Lay your drawings from this week side by side and write one line about the one you like most and why.
  Why: Seeing a week of drawings together shows what you practiced and which drawing you enjoyed most.
- Task 3
  Stretch your hands and wrists for two minutes
  Why: A week of drawing is real work for your hands, and a gentle stretch keeps them happy.

How Draw 100 works

What you do each day
3 goals a day. Your daily core, Do a 5 minute warm up sketch, is the same every day. The other two are new each day: Task 2 builds the habit and Task 3 adds a different angle. Each one comes with a short why.
Time and effort
Most days fit around a normal day, all 3 goals together. Some days are lighter, and nothing needs to happen at a set time.
Difficulty and pace
Steady. Small daily steps that grow a little each week. Some days ask a bit more. Milestone badges at 10, 25, 50 and all 100 fully completed days mark how far you came.
Easier alternatives and rest days
Most goals have an easier alternative. “Choose an easier alternative” puts it in its place, and it counts the same as the original goal: the same square, streak and rewards. A rest day protects the streak on days life happens.
Pausing or switching
With another challenge going, you can pause this one any time. Resume later and you pick up on the same day you left. Remove it instead and your history stays: ticks, notes and photos. You always keep at least one challenge going. Up to 3 packs can be active at once, your main challenge included. Active and scheduled packs count; paused, finished and not started ones don't. You can own as many packs as you like and start them later.
What you own
Unlock Draw 100 on its own ($9.99 or a free credit) and it's yours forever, to replay any time. All Access opens every pack while you're subscribed. Credits never expire, so use them when you're ready.

Pack guide

How to use task details

The task title names the action. Open its details for the method, examples and any relevant precautions; Why explains the purpose. Save the stated output or record the action you actually took. Paper and other suitable tools are valid alternatives. Do not mark a real-world result complete merely because a planning note was written. Writing tasks can be done in Journal, on paper or anywhere you like. Linking them to Journal is optional.

Focus blocks

For any study or practice task: put your phone in another room or face down, write the one thing you will do, and set a timer for 10 to 25 minutes. When your mind wanders, notice it and come back. Stop when the timer rings and note where you got to.

Baseline and show and tell

Record or save a short first attempt early on as your baseline. Every few weeks, make a fresh attempt at the same thing, put the two side by side and note one improvement. On checkpoint days, show one piece to someone you trust or save a private recording.

Questions

Good to know

Do I need to already know how to draw?

No. Day 1 is a mug, and the goal is a hundred finished drawings, not one perfect one.

Why no erasing?

Because the point is finishing. Drawing without erasing keeps you moving forward instead of reworking the same lines.

How long does each day take?

The daily core is a 10 minute line warm up, then one drawing prompt of about twenty minutes.

What if I miss a day?

The app has Rest Days, so you can pick your pencil back up. Your level never goes down.
