I originally posted this on my Tumblr blog, and since it seems to be popular I thought I'd challenge people here.
30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge
Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn't improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that's actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell.
I made this because I've been feeling super 'blah' about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!
Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell (more for Tumblr posts, but I suppose you can do it here too) so everyone can follow along and see each other's awesome artwork.
What are you waiting for? START!
Look at all that amazing improvement! Congrats!

Sketch Commission for CORE
Due to the rampant art theft by NFT bots, I'm in need of a CORE subscription to help be aware of what's being stolen. I'm offering a single commission slot, of a headshot colored sketch, in exchange for a year-long CORE subscription. [UPDATE] CLOSED! Style similar to: Terms: -Art will be for personal use only. Not for resale, prints, edits, NFT/Crypto, etc. -You'll get a rough sketch for approval and a chance for edits, before I move onto final cleanup + rendering. -Subscription will need to be paid for after rough sketch approval, but before final commission is given. Send me a Note with your character details if interested!
