30 day Challenges (Need suggestions!)

Attention friends and family! I shall announce that I have taken a deep interest in trying out a series of 30 day challenges for my self. One thing I have noticed, is that I have been spending way too much time using StumbleUpon and sitting on Facebook. I know these two are huge time wasters for me and distract me from doing more productive things. So starting Monday, September 19th, I will uninstall the Stumble button from my browser's tool bar and deactivate my Facebook account for 30 days. In the mean time, with the extra time on my hands I will be drawing one complete drawing every day for 30 days. I've picked up a nice list from a forum to start with. This won't be the final list for I will tweak it a bit to fit my needs as necessary.

30-day Drawing Challenge (without Facebook or StumbleUpon)
Day 1: Self-Portrait
Day 2: Favorite Animal
Day 3: Favorite Food
Day 4: Super Hero
Day 5: Super Villain
Day 6: Sequential Comic
Day 7: What’s in my bag?* (I only have books, boring subjects)
Day 8: Favorite Animated Character
Day 9: Favorite TV Show* (too many to choose from)
Day 10: Favorite Candy
Day 11: Scene from a Movie*
Day 12: A Recipe*
Day 13: Re-Design a Book Cover
Day 14: Favorite Fairytale
Day 15: Family Picture* (oh my... please no)
Day 16: Inspiration
Day 17: A Delicious Food* (since the favorite food is already for day 3)
Day 18: ZOMBIES
Day 19: A Sea Creature
Day 20: An Actor and an Actress
Day 21: Something you want
Day 22: The meaning of your name* (My name is boring)
Day 23: Your Zodiac Sign
Day 24: A Couple
Day 25: Scenery
Day 26: Something you don’t like
Day 27: A Dinosaur* (A dragon instead maybe?)
Day 28: A Collage* (can I draw ninjas?)
Day 29: A Place you want to go
Day 30: A Favorite outfit* (that I wear or that I want to wear?)

And to even challenge myself further, I've gotten too much into the habit of drawing with my tablet and lost the feel of real paper. So every drawing will be on a physical medium, without Photoshop! I will be posting my drawings in my blog every few days or so. Hey, I may even do a video of the process of my drawings!

This weekend I will post the final draft of my list, in the mean time I would like some ideas for other drawings I can do. Please comment and give me suggestions! The days that are marked with a "*" are the ones I would like to change. Wish me luck!
