Hello ppl on the art forum! I've been thinking about doing this for a long time now, and I thought I'd finally make a thread about it >:] Recently I've been in a bit of a rut with my art where I'm not unhappy with it, but also not super hyped about it either. And I've never actually done a 30 day art challenge, so I figured this might be a good time. And posting about it will make me more likely to finish it to akldjflakdjf I also thought that others might want to join to, though it's a lot of work and I know everyone is busy so maybe not lol
For those unaware, you have 30 prompts to draw and your goal is to do one every day. There are different kinds like Inktober, Mermay, etc. But the one I want to do will be focusing on improvement. Ofc I'm well aware people are busy, and I'm busy myself, so while I am going to attempt to finish it in 30 days if it goes longer I won't be too upset. Honestly even just drawing every day for 30 days will lead to improvement, and I'm really hoping to better my art this year.
I've seen a few Youtubers follow this challenge and figured that it would be as good as any to do. There are a few things I may change, but I will be staying as loyal to it as possible!
If you're interested in joining me I'd love the company! If you don't like the challenge I'm doing, bring your own and we can hold each other accountable lkajdflajdf I am going to start tomorrow, if I don't I'll probably put it off again for another few months.

Ok, day 1 is: "Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself" but i'd rather stab myself in the leg with my tablet pen than draw myself lakjdflakjdf This is one of those changes I mentioned lol Instead I decided to draw an OC that I share some physical characteristics with.

Day 2: Draw a figure using a reference. I was originally gonna draw some more, since just one seemed easy, but my day ended up being Super BusyTM lol I will probably doodle Conan a few more times, but this is what I have for now.

Day 3: Draw a figure thatβs in action, using a reference. This was another day I wanted to draw more than one, but didn't have the time to akldjfalk;jdf Istg, weekends are more busy for me than weekdays lol
Conan again. I wanted to clean it up a bit more, but I also needed to get it up today XD

Day 4: Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies. For this I decided to draw hands! I think I'm worse with feet, but I want to improve with hands more so I went for that. I did one skeletal drawing and nearly died so I decided to skip that alkdjfakdf I used Quickposes for the majority of the hand references.
you can tell where i started getting tired

Day 5: Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20 x10. Used Quickposes for the references again!
I need to do more of these I suck at them and burned out after 10 alkdjfalkjdfadf

Day 6: Letβs have some fun. Design a character from either This or This character generator! This one was nicer an far less stressful than the past two days kajflkajdflakjf
Decided to give her cat-like eyes with the pronounced lashes and slit eyes :0 She's very red, but I think it works with her vibe lol I like how she came out, but I think her design could definitely be added on if I ever decide to develop her personality.

Day 7: Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights. Looked around the house for a bit and decided to draw this silly little egg fellow :] The prompt said nothing about realism, I didn't go too hard on making it look realistic akljfalkdjf

ALskjfalkjf yes, it walks around the house at night. You can't leave your room if you hear the clack clack clack of it walking outside your door. Jokes aside, I think it's a gift from a great-uncle XD

Day 8: Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Grabbed my Froakie OC figure made by a friend, a cow plush, and the tea I was drinking akdjakdjf It's been miserable and cold and dreary all day, so I figured I'd made a warm lil scene with these dudes.

Day 9: Draw a landscape of a place youβve never been or drawn. Figured I'd draw some sorta fantasy landscape since I've obviously never been there lkajdlkajdf Glimwood Tangle is one of my favorite areas in SWSH.
I wish I was the type of artist that could make messy backgrounds look good, but I'm simply not built that way alkdjfalkdjfalkdfj

I finished my report and turned it in only for my professor to extend the time we have to do it γβ½γ Anyways, days 10 and 11: Draw a BG with 1pt Perspective. Negative points if itβs a railroad or an empty street./Draw a BG with 2pt Perspective.
Tried two different styles and hated them both RIP background are my nemesis. I do think they make slightlyyy more sense than the other background

Day 13: Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it. I think this is my most decent background yet XD Still not good by any means, but I think I may be getting better akdfjalkdjf
I imagine she's very good at her job, but also super busy. To be a working adult is to suffer. Is she getting home late? Or perhaps putting off leaving early? Idk I refuse to think about it anymore lol

Day 14: BG with either birdβs eye or wormβs eye view. SO I know it said background, but when I was looking up pic ideas for worm eye view I saw the goofiest image of a child looking down at the view with such contenmpt I just HAD to draw it alkdjfakdf
POV: you were just trying to kill someone and this grade schooler came out of nowhere and concussed you with a soccer ball

Day 15: Halfway there! Draw three 'actionβ scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable!
As to be expected at this point, I didn't follow the exact prompt but whatever.

Day 16: Draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page). Ended up using this to draw something for an event on Tumblr, so I can't actually post it until posting day akdjfaldkjfalkdjf I'll update this post with it once we can, just so I can look back later and see something for every day lmao
its posting week so i can add this now, for myself if I ever look back XD To no ones surprise, it was a KaiShin even lol

Day 17: Draw an animal youβve never drawn before. x10 Decided to draw some bighorn sheep cause why not, and then immediately regretted it thirty minutes later cause why do they look like that lakdjfalkjdfakdjf Just took a bunch of images from google as refs.

Day 19: Think of the thing you hate drawing the most. Guess what? Draw it! I hate few things more than backgrounds and shoes, so I decided to draw shoes cause I've been drawing backgrounds a lot lately kajdfakljdf I wish I was a shoe artist, but I hate them with a passion.
I took a few shoes from styles that I like and drew them. They do not look good. Day 20: Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure. Return of the pink cow I doodled earlier. I just used an image from the creators site tho so I didn't have to bother taking one of my own lol
I even gave her fancy shoes despite my hatred akdjfalkdjf And a dress, I don't like drawing dresses either >:0

Day 21: Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. I LOVE the white highlight shading in some art you see online, I have yet to figure out how they do it >:0
human Asher Day 22: Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. I don't enjoy shading like this, but I really like looking at other peoples work that uses this kinda shading klajdfalkjdf
I really shot myself in the foot with the no cats thing lkajdflkajdf instead I shaded a doodle of Sera, an OC from a story I'll probably never draw. She's an angel.

Day 23: Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using those colors. Day 24: Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed!
Put these two together cause I thought it would be fun :]
I allowed myself to use different colors for shading, just so the drawing would be more clear!

Day 25: Draw a scene/character in a style youβve never drawn before. I really like the Panty and Stocking style, even if i've never actually finished the show itself akdjfalkjdfalkfj Happy for a chance to finally draw in it!
and ofc I draw Kaishin cause I'm predictable

Day 26: Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Decided to draw some expressions for the two MCs of a comic I'll probably never draw lol
I have a pretty solid design for the dude on the left, he's the main MC. I'm not completely sold on the guy on the rights design, I'll probably change it but for now it'll do :0
