It's finally time for'The Daily Sketch' to return to steemit. For anyone unfamiliar with the contest, it is designed to help you improve your drawing skills by providing you with the opportunity to practice on a daily basis in a structured way and if you've never drawn before or think that you can't, then this contest is definitely for you!! :)

Every day I choose a random theme and set you the challenge of coming up with a twenty minute sketch based around your interpretation of that theme, either by using your imagination or by finding an image and copying it. Once you have made your sketch, post it in the comments section of that days post and you will be in with a chance of winning a small prize. :)

Try to ensure you stick to the twenty minutes!! :)

The winner will be announced and their sketch featured in the following days post.

The winner from the last round of the previous season with the theme 'The Final Sketch' was @apprentice001 with his excellent entry incorporating elements from both the #dailysketch and also my other art contest, 'Learn To Draw With Friends!

Here is his winning entry!

You may also want to make a post of your sketch for your own page and if you do, I would ask that you include #dailysketch , as well as linking your post in the comments with your entry for the day.

The reason for this challenge is to help build a routine around practicing. You may want to make this the first thing you do when you wake up to ease you into the day in a relaxing way or you may want to do it last thing at night before you go to bed. I will leave it up to you to decide when best suits you but the point is that consistency of practice will definitely improve your results, so if you can, try to make it as consistent as possible. :)

And so to today's theme...

EXCITEMENT

You have twenty minutes to create a sketch based around your interpretation of the theme, EXCITEMENT.

You're time starts now! :)

Good Luck!

This time around I have decided to offer a weekly prize of 5 SBD rather than the daily prize of 1 SBD and this will be awarded to whichever entry I like best from all of the entries throughout the week but in order to be eligible to win the prize, you must take part in at least 3 of the 6 daily themes for that week.

I am also launching a new contest next week called 'The Altcoin Trading Championship'. If you would like to know more then please check out the link below for a brief introduction and stay tuned for more information in the coming days.

The Altcoin Trading Championship

Have a great day everyone! :)
