I got to your gallery because of the tutorial contest. I'm impressed by your 365 drawings challenge, but I have a few things to suggest after reading your journal. If you want to improve more, try doing one drawing per week. One drawing per day with the same style and medium can get repetitive and hard to progress. Or you can maybe do drawings from observation for this challenge. You can grasp anatomy and perspective much better and improve faster with observational drawings, since they are the basics.Β
I do not mean to force anything on your art, but after browsing through your gallery and reading the descriptions, you interest me as a very hardworking artist. So I'd love to help a bit if I can

Thank you so much for the llama! Wow you've been doing that challenge for a month? Me too!! Ever since Monty Oum died, I felt angry that we artists tend to forget what we loved to do. Life is short. But dang I am proud of you trying really hard to study perspectives and anatomy. I salute to artists like you. You're gonna go really far. In the end it will be worth it.

Well I must thank you for your favorites and also your words of encouragement. After looking at your page and art your an incredible artist who has a distinct style a owns it comparing to someone such as myself who is still trying to find their said Art style. You've got yourself a new watcherΒ as I'll be rooting for yeah as you go on your drawing challenge. And yeah I can understand Monty Oum passing being a catalyst for trying to become a better Artist and as a unfortunate example of life being too short. For me my catalyst was realizing that my on and off drawing has been killing my productivity to reach and be able to accomplish my dream and well I enough of me saying, "Oh I'm going to do this." rather I said f'it and am finally taking things a lot more serious and trying to reach my goal. Or else I'd be in this never ending spiral and unable to ever reach my goal but enough of that. I yet again can't thank you enough for your words of encouragement and your favorites. I'll be rooting you along your journey and pay a visit every now and then.

Oh no problem! I'll be watching your work too! Yknow I tend to fave a lot of work but I tend to check up onΒ a fewΒ artists who work really hard to become better. They are the ones that stand out a lot.
I think we're incomparable. We lived different lives and we choose to do things differently in life that made us at different levels.
And yeah I understand having artist block and going on hiatus.. That's why I make drawing a hobby so I can have the freedom to explore and improve whenever I feel like it. I tried to make a manga with a group of friends but we go on hiatus at different times so it was too complicated, I quit the group.
btw You deserve my watch as well. nice to meet you! You can call me Dara.
