Don't Break the Chain
My 5-year daily drawing project
Project: Self-initiated
Role: Creator & Illustrator
Scope: Concept Development, Illustration
Don’t Break the Chain began with a simple challenge: make one drawing every day and keep the streak going. Inspired by the “don’t break the chain” method of building a daily practice, I started the project as a way to make drawing part of my everyday life.
Starting in January 2013, I made one drawing every day. The goal wasn't to make a beautiful finished illustration each time, but to make drawing part of my daily routine—something as ordinary as brushing my teeth.
I shared the drawings online as an ongoing record of the project. By the time it ended five years later, the series had grown to 1,687 drawings.
