Deathline 22th of June 2013 - Melanie - 06-23-2012
Melanie's Deathline Goals
Starting: 22th of June of 2012
Deathline: 22th of June of 2013
The three goals for that period:
1. Increasing my social skills:
- staying in touch with my feelings
- becoming aware of my strengths and limitations
- improving my skills to resolve conflict situations
- increasing my self-esteem
2. Improving my artistic skills:
- basic skills: live drawings, nudes, anatomy
- composition and lightning: book covers and complexe illustrations
- designs: character concepts
- environments: perspective, depth, nature and architecture
3. Becoming a perfect freelance artist:
- delivering high quality images long up front the deadline: at least 1 week in front
- making my clients feeling comfortable and happy
- taking assignments only at reasonable rates with following exception: taking up to 4 days a month for exciting assignments that doesn't have to pay well - only for my amusement (assigning more severe priorities)
- doing the paperwork within reasonable time periods
I will write about different approaches to reach those goals and about my experiences with them. I will also redefine some small steps to reach the big goals.

First Steps:
1.1 Take 5 min off every day and write about your feelings
2.1 Paint a thing from live everyday day (it can be very small and easy when I have not much time)
3.1 Update your time plan every day
After achieving those steps for 7 days in a row: Moving to the next steps.

Alright: The first step is done. I did all my homework for 7 days in a row and succeded at first go.
Here are the steps for the next seven days of my deathline challenge:
1.2 Think about a current conflict or one which happend in the past and resolve it.
2.2 Study one landscape everyday, then make 4 black and white thumbs for composition and apply what you learned.
2.3 Do paperwork everyday. Also if it is only copying one page. That's ok.

I have to make a little break, because I unfortunatly don't have enough time for the landscape thing. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.
