I found this great thing on Tumblr; a challenge to improve your artwork within 30 days! I HIGHLY recommend you try this, and it isn't one of those stupid 'draw your oc as __ for 30 days' thing that don't help you improve. This actually stretches your boundaries and makes you try lots of different things!
I'm gonna try it out, starting tommorow!
Hoping to last all 30 days, and if I miss one due to vacation or something, I'll make it up the next day. :3 I will keep track of it in this journal.
Also: I need some friends for this??
anyone want to partner up with me for day 15 and 26?

wolvenbird.deviantart.com/art/…
DAY 8. 2 POINT PERSPECTIVE DAY
DAY 9. draw the same picture 3 times with 3 different compositions
DAY 10. STYLE DAY 1 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!
DAY 11. STYLE DAY 2 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!
DAY 12. STYLE DAY 3 - pick a artist with a unique style and emulate it!
DAY 13. watch a movie or episode of a show that you find visually appealing. while watching draw thumbnails of shots that catch your eye and try to articulate why it's visually appealing/why it works
DAY 14. paint another BG but it has to be different than the one you did DAY 1 SO if you painted a outdoors scene, do a interior if you painted a tree try some water w/e
DAY 15. do a lineart, then swap with a friend who also did a lineart and color each other's pictures. if you don't have friends then make some ok
DAY 16. paint a portrait of your favorite celebrity (mine is adrian brody!!)
DAY 17. do another limited palette picture b/cuz they're easy and fun but this time after you're done INVERT THE PALETTE (CTRL + I in photoshop) AND PAINT A DIFFERENT PICTURE whoa
DAY 18. close your eyes and draw 3 random shapes with your non-dominant hand, then turn those shapes into legit draws
DAY 19. MAGICAL GIRL DAY FUCK ok go to here and draw the first 3 you get. i guess you could use any of the other generators but why would you want to?
DAY 20. pick a body part you have trouble with, find a bunch of photo references (or use yourself/a friend that you should have made by now) and fill up a whole page/canvas with studies
DAY 21. 3 POINT PERSPECTIVE DAY
DAY 22. random.org 1-648 3x. gijinka the corresponding pokemon no cheating yes metapod is 9 kinds of lame but do it anyway this is about growth i'm already trying to make it fun quit bitching. if you don't like pokemon go to wikipedia and hit "random page" until you get 3 animals and gijinka them.
DAY 23. draw the keyframes of a walk cycle
DAY 24. this is a project i did in my intro to drawing for non-majors class (aka confused business majors who need a fine arts gen ed and couldn't get into ceramics). pick a ancient culture that you're interested in (aka not contemporary japan you giant child) and find a sculpture or piece of art (3D works best) that really speaks to your heart or some shit. render it as realistically as possible. this may seem odd but it was a weirdly engaging project for me except you have it easy b/cuz i had to recreate it on a 4ft x 8ft canvas in ink and, while engaged, i also wanted to fucking die the entire time (almost 2 weeks) so that's the feeling you should be aiming for here
DAY 25. YOU'RE GETTING BETTER EVERY DAY DAY! find the oldest picture you have and redraw it for a quick and dirty self-esteem boost
DAY 26. have a friend draw you 3 very rough gestures and then you finish them. if you still don't have friends you have bigger problems than needing to work on your art i gave you 10 days to find a buddy which is pretty generous i think
DAY 27. pick 3 basic geometric shapes, design 3 characters utilizing those shapes
DAY 28. find a book, open to a random page and draw the 2nd sentence
DAY 29. pick a character (whatever) and draw them happy, sad and angry. be consistent and push the expressions/pose
DAY 30. real talk nobody ever makes it to day 30 i could pretty much say anything here and it wouldn't matter at all. i'm making this day about me, this is my day, national johre day. draw yourself god tier while listening to really cool music. pretend you are really a god wearing cool pajamas and have amazing powers and are not actually a disenchanted alcoholic woman lost in the financial abyss of post-university life christ almighty help me

REQUEST LIVESTREAM OFFLINE
As promised, here it is! Might go offline later for dinner, will make a new stream afterwards.
EDIT NEW URL AGAIN! http://www.livestream.com/wolvenbird
EDIT 2: sorry guys but joinme and livestream keep crashing on me!! I can't get anything to load and I'm trying to figure out a way to fix this.

Gallery Cleanup + Update
Hey, long time no update! I need to bump the last journal off my page anyway.
I don't feel my gallery looks very professional at the moment, with so many inconsistent styles and stuff- so I'm going through it later today and putting some stuff in scraps, as well as cleaning up my Featured folder on dA. No, I won't be deleting anything, you'll just have to look at my scraps if you want to see some of my sketches/less refined pieces. I will also be submitting more to my scraps and less to my main gallery, to keep things looking a bit more neat. So if you're on dA, make sure you're watching my scraps if you want to see all of my work, and if yo
