I've long held the wish that I could draw / sketch. My artistic commitment to myself this year is that this is the year I tackle that challenge. I had perspective drawing years ago as an interior design student, but I never really "got" it. I've purchased and read a zillion books on it, and while intellectually, I kinda understand, as soon as I sit down with pencil in hand, I'm lost.
So, I purchased a Perspective for Sketching video class on Craftsy.com and took a free sketching class at Daniel Smith last night. The journey begins................
My first effort for my first video lesson was to draw an elevation view of a building. I chose a photo of a door that I took in Paris last fall.
Sketches don't scan very well, but you get the idea. Below is my reference photo.
I feel like I did a decent job of getting the proportions right - I'm excited to expand my sketching skills this year!

What a great challenge. I feel much the same about drawing. I surprise myself now and again but find it intimidating.
