Update #1: Create a small drawing once every 2 days, for a month

I want to improve my drawing skills and learn more about the different styles and ways to create better art.

Update #2: Day 1: I drew a cat lying on Earth with my device

I think I am making progress with my goal as I have made a small drawing that I am proud of but I think in the future I will make more complicated drawings as this was just a small doodle.

Update #3: Sketching out my new drawing

10% complete
I am sketching out my new drawing but I will have to finish this next week so I can only make small simple drawings as I have left all my drawing supplies at home, because I am going camping.

Update #4: Drawing 2: I drew a hat

15% complete
I have drawn a hat for a part of my goal. I enjoyed creating this drawing as it wasn’t too hard but it also wasn’t really simple. I will definitely create more complicated and coloured art when I get back from camp but I think this is good enough with the limited material I have.

Update #5: Drawing 3: dragon fruit

20% complete
I created a digital drawing of a dragon fruit. This drawing took me around 1 hour to create. I think while drawing this I definitely improved on my shading and blending the colours.

Update #6: drawing 4: eye

25% complete
This is a replacement for the day that I missed. On 12th of march as I forgot to make a drawing so this is a replacement. I am very proud of this drawing but I feel like I should work on blending with pencil and I should buy a pen to draw the whites of the drawing.

Update #7: Drawings (4)

30% complete
I created a bunch of black and white drawings of the 12 Chinese zodiacs, I was inspired to do this because I saw many videos with a audio saying the 12 zodiacs and then people drawing them. I have definitely learned that I usually draw with a reference as all of these used references that I found online.

Update #8: Drawing 6

35% complete
I forgot to upload this yesterday but I did make it on the 18th of March. I have been dabbling into digital art more as I usually do traditional art but I do digital art a lot as well but compared to traditional it’s a small amount. I have mainly been using free-form and magma to draw digitally. I do want to create more large scale arts in the future and maybe some fanart for some fandoms I’m in.

Update #9: Drawing 7

I made my mum a drawing for her birthday. I and very proud of my drawing as I liked the simple design and the shading of the drawing. In the future I would like to make a more creative cake as this one felt very similar to other drawings of cake, other wise I am quite pleased with this drawing:

Update #10: Drawing 8

I do not want to write a description for this drawing so it’s just a seagull

Update #11: Drawing 9

55% complete
I made a really quick drawing as it was literally only 10 minutes until midnight so I wanted to make a quick sketch to complete my goal. This drawing was good for a quick drawing as it had nice shading. The contrast was really good. next time I would definitely like to improve by adding contrast to the stem maybe adding some leaves. Overall, I think this was a okay drawing but could definitely be improved a lot.

Update #12: Drawing 10

65% complete
I keep put drawing on the wrong day as I really draw based on my feelings so I’m sorry as a couple of times I have done it on the wrong day. The middle sponge looking thing was actually very hard to draw, in the future. I want to try drawing with like different materials such as like pens or like paint because I’ve been using pencils for most of these drawings. I quite like drawing and I’m very proud of it.

Update #13: Drawing 11

95% complete
I made a drawing of a women holding a cat, I took inspiration from another fanart that I found online and I just changes the character to my OC. I quite like this drawing and I think it’s quite nice, in the future I may make another copy but coloured.

Update #14: Last drawing

100% complete
This is to make up for the fact I never finished this goal as I was missing 1 drawing. This is just a sketch I made while studying for exams during study hall so it’s not the best
