Many of the exercises on Drawabox extend far beyond JUST drawing, and can be wonderful for enhancing your prowess in any medium.
Here I've done their rough perspective exercise in pixel art. Doing the exercise in this manner has the added challenge of avoiding jagged lines while still being as correct as you can. Even if you have zero interest in drawing, painting, or pixel art- I highly recommend this site to anyone with an interest in any kind of visual art.
There's one experiment, I guess if you could call it that, I've been wanting to do:
Daily drive Windows XP for a month. Any old OS would suffice, but I own a lot of software that was designed with XP in mind and most of my hardware supports it.
Obviously I'd be offline all the time, but knowing how we use our computers has shifted in the past 20+ years I do wonder what it'd be like. The biggest problem with me doing this is that due to life circumstances I need to have internet access as well as tools that don't exist for XP and will for the foreseeable future.
Obviously a more lite version of this challenge would be to just turn off my internet and go a month without that, but then my internet access issue comes back.
