New Years Art Goals
Every year I make resolutions that I never keep, and it's been a real bummer, man.
So, this year I thought I would try to utilize my blog as a place to hold myself accountable with my art goals and serve as a log for myself to look back on throughout the year!
INTENTIONS
why . . .
โช Improve my output & skill
โช Overcome art shame
โช Restore my creativity & improve my visual gallery
โช Be able to draw naturally and with ease without hesitation and fear of failure
TOP GOALS what . . .
โช 1 Original animation before the end of the year
โช 1 Finished illustration a month
โช 1 Study session a week
โช 1 Sketch - for fun - a day
STRETCH GOALS . . .
โช 1 OC reference sheet a month
โช 1 Style study or background illustration a month
โช 70 Gesture studies a week or 10 Gestures daily
COMMITMENTS how . . .
โช Do exercises & warm-ups before drawing
โช Plan illustrations before jumping in
โช Creating and sticking to project timelines
โช Tracking my time drawing with Toggl
โช Daily notes in my private art journal & weekly blog posts
โช 1 post on IG daily or, at minimum, 1 round-up post a week
โช Posting even if a drawing isn't completed by the end of the month.
>_< I really hope this is something I'm able to commit to, and that I don't burn myself out. I'm going to try and keep myself focused and dedicated, but, ultimately, my mental health has to come first, so, if I need to, I'm open to changing some of the study goals ! !
My next post is going to be about what I will be studying for the next 53 weeks, to give myself a lesson plan. Thx for reading and I hope you'll be rooting for me on this journey ! (ยด๏ฝฅฯ๏ฝฅ`)
