I am amazed by how much my art is improving, sketching every day is making a huge difference to my art. I want to improve my art equally in all major areas. There are 7 days in a week. If I can come up with a list of 7 things to try, I can do them each week, and ensure I improve.
This idea came to me after seeing my Fashion Girl figure drawing yesterday. My figure drawing is improving much better than the last one I did. If I choose to do a figure drawing sketch once a week, my figure drawing is bound to improve. So I will make a list of the 7 different things I want to work on each week, and see where my art ends up in 3 months time. I am doing this over 12 weeks, which means 12 figure drawings - just imagine where my figure drawing will be then?

- Figure Drawing
(music star, movie star, fashion model, humanoid, fantasy) - Still Life
(a stationery object or food) - Animal
(mammal, reptile, fish, bird, insect, spider) - Landscape
(greenery, trees, grass, plants, water, full natural landscape) - Urban Landscape
(buildings, parts of buildings, stone statue, street, vehicles) - Sci-fi or Space scene
(spaceship, stars, nebula, asteroid, aliens, alien technology) - Colour Pencil Piece
(any of the other 6 items in colour)
This should keep my skills up in all these areas, and I can have fun doing them. I’m looking forward to this.
I think you have posted very worthy goals. Good for you. Simply keeping a sketchbook with you throughout the day and drawing from life is a wonderful habit to get into as an artist. I hope you post your progress to motivate others. Good luck!
