What are you working on? What have you finished? What do you need encouragment on? Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype? What do you just want to talk about?

Chores and other not-fun things count!

I would love to hear more about this drawing training arc! Did you follow a specific program or make it up as you go or…?

It was planned a month in advance but basically:
1. I decided I would focus on ONE specific technique/aspect of drawing I wanted to improve at, in this case it was accuracy.

2. I looked up the different exercises for that and found blind contour drawing.

3. I spent a day collecting articles and vid tutorials and made a megathread for myself.

4. Then I picked a theme for my subjects and compiled a bunch of seperate folders, one for practice/studies and another for final images

5. After that I just would schedule my art projects week by week, doing 2 studies and 2 final images per week.

6. I also made small goals for the days I didn't have the energy to do much but still wanted to get things done.

Thanks for asking.

I'm really impressed with how you structured this! Would you be OK if I borrowed your idea? (Like I said in my comment below, I'm not an illustrator/visual artist but I think I could benefit from doing something like this with my writing.)

Yeah go for it
