The 30-day Reset
Thirty days, thirty lessons. Each day the line of that day, plus one technique to go with it — from measuring proportions to why you're better off not erasing. No streaks, no schedule you can 'break': miss a day and you carry on where you were.
How it works
- 01You enrol once; the Reset is separate from the membership.
- 02One lesson a day: that day's technique, in a few sentences before you begin.
- 03A self-check with every lesson: one concrete question to examine your own drawing with.
- 04The lesson follows your day number, not the calendar — a missed day costs you no lesson.
- 05You tick off your own days — counted on paper, kept here.
- 06You share (if you want) your scan on a private wall — and each week Estella writes one note to all participants about what struck her there.
- 07A printable workbook with all thirty lessons, to keep beside your table.
What you learn in thirty days
The lessons build on each other. This is the whole arc — you're not buying a surprise.
Week 1 — Looking
Looking longer than you draw, following the edge, negative space, measuring with your pencil.
Week 2 — The line
The continuous line, line weight, the searching line, and why you're better off not erasing.
Week 3 — Form
Ball, box and tube, proportion as a number, ellipses, overlap and foreshortening.
Week 4 — Light and space
Where the light comes from, cast shadow, three tones, hatching and lost edges.
What a day can look like
No made-up examples: these are three real days from the archive, exactly as everyone received them that morning.
4 August
Today you're drawing your coffee cup or tea mug — with your other hand. Look twice as long as you draw.
11 August
Today you're drawing a bunch of keys — using at most twenty lines. Draw the space around it instead of the thing itself.
18 August
Today you're drawing your own non-drawing hand — in exactly ten minutes, slower than you'd like. Leave the mistake in and draw around it.
