I was reading PencillCat's Journal entry about challenging and improving ones art and its really got me thinking iv been painting drawing the same stuff for years and its becoming stagnant and repetitive i'm going to challenge my art skills and get out of my comfort zone and try this 30 day challenge and hopefully broaden my skills.
I wont be able to Art every day because of work and socialing but i will make the effort for this, i'll mainly be posting my day to day works on my Tumblr Site teggyart.tumblr.com/ but i might clump them all on a page at the very end and post them on here.
ANYONES welcome to join me in this its a fantastic idea thank you so much to the lovely PencillCat for thinking it up.

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. >:D

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 so everyone can follow along and see each other's awesome artwork. I may even create a blog and reblog them! :D

What are you waiting for? START!

1. Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself
2. Draw a figure using a reference - link to reference
3. Draw a figure that's in action, using a reference - link to reference
4. Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.
5. Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes
6. Let's have some fun. Design a character from this character generator. (created by PreservedCucumbers)
7. Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.

13. Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it.
14. BG with either bird's eye or worm's eye view.
15. Halfway there! Draw three 'action' scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable! Bonus points if it's the same scene, but different composition.

20. Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure.
21. Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows
22. Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. Bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.
23. Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.
24. Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Don't forget light and shadows!

28. Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.
29. Almost done! Let's have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it's super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it's from.
