I am quite satisfied with my contribution to EDM. I have done every subject, 31 days. Definitely not project to do every month, but I am pleased with myself for sticking to it and completing it.

What has EDM 2015 meant to me.
- I have realized once again that drawing every day is essential for developing different skills and keeping them oiled.
- Drawing every day makes us see the world and every day subjects through different glasses.
- It forces self discipline.
- It pushes you to push yourself.
- It makes an artist work through a problem and not around it.
- I didn’t always like the theme/subject of the day, but being committed made me do it anyway.
- Looking back on a completed month of drawing is highly satisfactory.
- It is inspiring to see others interpretations.
- The enthusiasm of new comers to drawing and sketching is contagious.
- New artist friends are made.
- New directions in expression are considered.
- More looseness and free strokes/lines creep into work.
- Perfection lies in the imperfect strokes.
- Deadlines lead to getting the work done.
- There is no such thing as “not enough time/don’t have time”.
- Doing art/drawing/sketching/painting every day is simply fun.
- The journey supposed to be fun.

I’m so glad you have these all posted here since I seem to have missed some of your posts on FB…there were so many posts there it was quite overwhelming. Congratulations on finishing in style!
I love the way you describe the benefits EDM has brought you. I totally agree, … although so far I’ve never done it. So far, I’ve always missed the first days, or the whole month (!) but I’m sure one day I’ll do it.
