my art goal for 2020 is to try to do at least one piece of art every week. it doesn’t matter if it’s simple or complex, detailed or minimal, rough or polished—as long as i draw (and post!) something every week. i only thought of this goal/challenge halfway through january, which is why i’m kicking it off in week 4 lol. i’ll do my very best to stick to it from now on, but it’s okay if i miss a week here or there (sometimes life just gets in the way, yknow). 

the main point of this goal is i want to make more art, and i want to streamline my process. i feel like lately i’ve often found myself being too much of a perfectionist about every single piece i do, getting bogged down with refining it, adding tiny details, and tweaking things to no end. as a result i often get stuck on pieces and it’s frustrating, because i find myself drawing less than i want to and i have so many sketches laying around that i want to finish. and so i’m challenging myself to be more chill about my art and to focus on bringing more ideas to life. 

wish me luck!

Luck!! That's a lot of hard work. I hope you can keep up with it - but also take breaks if it starts impacting your mental health!

I've also struggled with this mindset that I have to make my art "perfect" and then the more I work on it and add details, the more flaws I find and I just end up disliking it more lmao (then I abandon it). So I completely understand where you're coming from! I can't wait to see more of your art and hope this challenge helps you reach your goal! Good luck <3

thanks for keeping my mental wellness in mind <3 i'm prepared to take breaks here and there if the workload becomes too much, but i'm hoping i won't have to!

right? it can be so frustrating and i've sometimes even made pieces "worse" by getting fixated on perfecting all the little details. thank you for the well wishes and the understanding <3

yeah, feel super free to adapt it or follow along! i'm so happy people found this post/goal/challenge inspiring and i'd be overjoyed if it can help more people than me! <3 and yeah i also draw almost every day, it really makes a big difference compared to going long periods without drawing and then suddenly picking up the pen again!
