There's a music challenge going on, so I thought there might as well be a challenge for the artists too.

30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

Spoiler for:
Code: [Select]
    1.Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself

    23.Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.
    24.Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don’t forget light and shadows!
    25.Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.
    26.Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Bonus points for ‘uncommon’ emotions. (i.e. anxiety, guilt, despair, loneliness etc.)
    27.Draw three random shapes using your opposite hand (or your foot). Now design characters from those shapes.
    28.Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.
    29.Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.

Start on the 1st, or start whenever you like. Just make sure to do it every day!

I dunno if I got 10 different body types in, I didn't bother to count.  They said quick gestures so I didn't let myself stick too long on any of them, but I do know the actions I was trying to do.

Well, there were three others besides this, but my computer shut off again. Fully charged. Plugged in. No fucking rhyme or reason whatsoever. Guess I'm gonna just ctrl+s every five seconds because my laptop is a piece of complete garbage now apparently.

Spoiler for:


There was even a muscular study in there that I was super proud of. ;___;
