Hey hey! I'm somewhat late to the new year resolution party, but I've really wanted to work on some specific things in my art, and thought that I'd see what other people are working on! For me personally, I'd really like to improve on anatomy this year :] As well as getting better drawing backgrounds. And if I am feeling motivated, I'd also like to work on color. It's never been something I've ever been confident with lol
Ideally tho I'd like to look back at the end of the year on art I did late last year/early this year and see a genuine improvement on anatomy. Hopefully me writing this down and putting it out in the world will encourage me to actually try lakdjfakdjfakdjf
What areas are you guys aiming to improve on? I'd totally be up to holding each other accountable for practice or just drawing in general haha

Not making my art out of doodles. Much of the art I draw that gets posted isn't meant to be a full piece, as some sketches look nice, but then the lineart turns to crap. Also improving on my pixel art when the cats are in a position I'm not particularly familiar with.

Oof man, I get that. Both of those are great goals! Pixel art looks like a lot of fun, and it's always cool to see. Getting poses to look correct and nice with a pixel brush seems hard, to me at least lkajdflakjdflakjdf

I'd like to actually finish a full thing that isn't just lineart + flat color.

Ooo that's arguably the best goal, development wise, to have! Doing art consistently is the hardest thing in the world XD At least for me it is akdjfakjf

Probably just like doing at least 1-2 drawings per month. Might seem low but I only do digital airliner art now and it usually takes me like 4-12 hours to get one done (depending on how complex the design is) and then afterwards I feel kinda burnt out of doing it for a while. Already reached that goal for this month (have done 2)!
My eventual goals with it are to do every different plane design of my favorite airlines (Southwest and Pan Am) as well as every plane Iโve flown on before and every model in my collection, but Iโve flown 50+ times and I have 73 models right now so those are not feasible goals to be done by the end of the year for me.

Congrats on hitting your goal for the month!! Burn out is real, doing as much that's comfortable and fun for you is great :] Do you have any examples of your art you'd be willing to share? Totally fine if not! I'm just curious about what it looks like :0

I have a webcomic that's about 60 pages in, and I'm hoping to get to the meat of the story this year. I've also got a tracing pad, so I can fix mistakes in the sketching stage. Hopefully I can start pumping out cleaner pages without any unfortunate off-models.

I just didn't want to post it randomly and come across as 'hey come read my webcomic'. I will warn you, it is not Warrior Cat related. It is animal based, though. It's called Faux, here's the link.

I'm aiming to improve on different poses and shading, maybe some lighting. I struggle a lot with drawing different poses that aren't standing. I also struggle with side views a bit.
Also, H U M A N S . . .

Good goals!! Lighting is one thing I still don't fully understand to this day XD I definitely think you'll improve a lot if you practice more poses :] I'm trying to do something similar with all this anatomy practice lol so it better make me better hakfajdfakjf

Pro tip for drawing humans: don't draw humans.

I might just take your advice if I can. I need to draw my characters for a book that I'm gonna start. It's easier for me to describe their actions if I have a visual image of what they might look like. Although they'd look cartoonish since that's my drawing style.

I personally thought this video was really helpful for poses/anatomy! It might help you as well :]
