I'm still doing the Javi Drawing exercises. I haven't quit the program.
I'm not doing them quite daily, but I am doing them. I've paused posting them here because the result are cruder. I'm trying more challenging things, and the result are not something I want to post. But I hope to get back to posting them soon.
Here's one I did yesterday.
Freehand digital drawing in Procreate from a pic I took a couple months ago.

Digital drawing in Procreate on Apple iPad.
I've always liked this pose of Iron Man.
This is a poor drawing, but I learned some things from doing it.
As I wrote in the notes underneath, I like the proportions and a bit of feeling the expression of the character.
I'm beginning to realize that this stage of "learning to draw" is not simply about learning to "draw". It is also about learning to "see". To become sensitive to the subtleties of the angle of the head, and the shape of the torso. With experience I think that I will be able to more quickly recognize these attributes of a scene, and thus be able to try and draw them accurately.
Learning.
Today we begin phase two of these drawing exercises. Now we're reproducing a drawing that we like. Here's the Jedi Droid Huyang from the Ahsoka comics.
Javi Drawing Day Three. (2 1/4 x 5 inches. #2 pencil on printer paper.)
Tomorrow the style of daily drawings changes. Stay tuned.
