Oh... and as a random note...

...I'm gonna start drawing, damnit. I don't care if I get home and only have one hour before I have to leave again for a fresh shift in the morning, I'm going to take time to draw SOMETHING every day, starting tonight... Just one bit of doodling a day at a minimum...

I don't care if I don't get any better at anything except hands... And yes, I just heard every damn last one of you artists groan at me for having no problem drawing hands... guess what. I can't draw anything else right now really, not even a profile sketch of a body or an arm, but I can draw hands no problem.

One of the downsides I noticed while doing the daily drawing diary thing is that I almost invariably ended up racing to get something drawn at 15 minutes to midnight, to beat the daily cutoff, but that I'd very rarely end up going back to finish anything. This means I got plenty of practice at rough pencils, but never learned anything about inking or coloring.

To counteract this, you might want to let it count towards your daily quota when you go back and ink/tone/color a previous sketch.

That makes sense...

...though I'm going to tweak it slightly. 365 'points' of art in the next 365 days, with at least as many points as days gone by. :-)

Minimum size is a playing card.
Sketching something counts as a point.
Inking the same counts as a point.
Colouring something counts as a point.
