Yeah, right.
I can't imagine anything looking at all recognizable in one minute. But, Dad's the master, so if I do this his way, maybe, when I grow up, I'll be as good as he is. Hey, there's hope! OK, then. I'll try.

Choosing to draw my beloved dog, Mia, I drew her with my calligraphy pen as fast as I could.
I looked quickly at the sweep second hand on my antique school clock as I buried my watercolor brush in my own 'blend' of black, mooshed it all a top the black line, threw in a little burnt umber (well, not pure burnt umber as some other colors had sloshed into it), and finished her off with a couple of blobs of white gouache.
It looks exactly like her!
Bottom line?
"To improve your drawing skills,
force yourself to draw One Minute drawings."
If it turns out like Scrap, put it in a box to save for future ideas. If it turns out Good, then you've learned something about yourself (like challenges are actually a good thing).
Or, maybe you'll end up with a Treasure you just Flat-Out Enjoy.
