QOTD!!
What goals do you set yourself every time you make art?

For example, I always strive to make every piece just a little bit different or at least make it challenging for myself, since I used to do the exact same bust shot all the time and it really bothered me that I wasn’t seeing any progress ://

maybe to do more expressions and better hair
also, a main one, art style consistency 😼
I switch goals per months (every 2-3 months) not per work : right now I want to be better at drawing more different body types, constructing backgrounds & getting cleaner at coloring. Everything that I do or research need to be related to as many as these goals as possible. In a few months I would switch to perspective, anatomy and making my art more dynamic so my pieces would all be center around these objectives ~
Make it look cool
I have trouble making art if it isn’t in one sitting so most of my goals go out the window, however when I’m on a roll, I tend to try and make the process as enjoyable as possible so if I ever don’t finish it in one sitting, I’ll be able to come back to it and actually finish it without feeling burnt out :)
Finish it and get it to its most complete stage
i strive to try new poses and new textures, as i struggle with my art looking stiff and flat
I try to do different time of day and planning to do different weather type drawings too to expand on my skills and knowledge on how to compose a certain drawing~
