I am not so much for the goal but for the way...
Anyway - good to look back and forward and compare what you wanted and what you reached.
I put roughly 80 pictures on DA last year (and some more sketches and stuff i put only in my sketchbook here on CD).
I am quite happy with the number even if 95% of it are studies. But i paint as a hobby only and that will stay that way. Together with having a family and a demanding job it is not easy to find daily painting time.
So the goal for this year is doing 80 pictures again and at least 5 more non-studies than last year.
That may not sound much but i guess the pictures will have a higher quality - just by doing it and i totally like realistic goals.
I also expect to have at least one picture published.

I know you can do it! Whether it's a study or a personal piece It's still refreshing to see your artwork! Can't wait to see your new stuff. :)

just a short check on my goals..
i already did around 35 pictures this year - so 80 seems an easy goal to reach. - hope it stays this way. I also sketched nearly every work day on my way to work and back - i can really see the progress of my pencil sketches. I concentrate on faces in that sketching and hope i will finally get the hang to it.
I did only one original painting so far this year - but well - my goal is 5 more than last year and i seem on the right way.
And finally - one of my pictures will be published in a fantasy hobby magazine.
I am on my way...

actual point is 77 pictures this year - only 3 to reach last years counter. I think i am okay with this year so far - i clearly have progressed. Now there is still the goal to make more own and less study work.
We will see.. :)
It really is good to know i have all the time i need.

Reached 100 paintings and thanks to the awesome spitpaint group no FB there is more than enough pictures from my mind instead of just studies.
All my goals are reached - but i wont slack now.

How goes the progression? Looks like its been a year from your initial deathline! Any new ideas, study methods, or things you learned? :]
