Returning · the sketchbook you stopped opening

You drew once. A hundred days to draw again.

The pencils survived three moves. What did not survive was a reason to sit down on an ordinary Tuesday. This programme supplies the Tuesday.

how the day works

Three tasks in the morning, one report at night

01Write the three tasks before the day gets loudKeep them small. Fifteen minutes of contour drawing is a task. The choosing happens in the morning so the evening only has to carry it out.
02Report what happened, not how it looksTwo lines at night: what you drew, what you skipped. Nobody marks the drawing. The report is what holds the next day in place.
03Do it where others are doing itEveryone in the group is inside their own hundred days. Their reports arrive, yours arrives, and a silent week stops being private.

Day 1–10

The hand is stiff and you know it. This stretch is about sizing tasks you can finish on a tired evening, not about the drawings.

Day 30

The first week that life takes back. You miss, you write that you missed, you continue. That move is the whole skill.

Day 100

A hundred dated entries and a sketchbook with a hundred used pages. The habit is the result; the drawings are what it leaves behind.

The daily practice has a public history

what already exists

The 100 Day Project runs as a free open challenge; its 2026 round ran from 22 February to 1 June. Participants get prompts by email and a shared hashtag, and nobody is asked for a report.

Three tasks each morning. One report each night. A hundred days of art.

before you sign up

Reasonable questions

Do you teach drawing?

No. There are no lessons, no technique videos and no critique. You decide what to draw; the programme holds the daily structure and the company.

I have not drawn in over a decade. Is that a problem?

It is the usual starting point here. Nothing in the format depends on your level, because nothing in the format judges the work.

What if I miss a day?

Write it in the report and carry on. We count the days you showed up, not an unbroken run.

How much time does a day take?

As long as your three tasks take. Most people write tasks that fit into twenty to forty minutes.

Do I have to show the drawings?

No. The report is text. Posting an image is possible and entirely optional.

The next hundred days start on a fixed date

Leave an email and we write once, when the group opens. Nothing is charged on this page.

  • Three tasks in the morning, one report at night
  • A group that reads your report and notices when it stops
  • A hundred days counted from a shared start date

One email when the next hundred days open. Nothing else is sent.
