FallowGround's Sketchbook

[FallowGround]

Setting this up before the new year starts so I don't have to scramble on Monday. Starting off the year with some _fun_ practice instead of pesky (much needed) tedious studies, so I can hopefully ease myself into the 'I still have to draw for 2-3 hours after work' mental state on a daily basis. After that I'll probably pick something more concrete to work on at the start of each month in 2024. I already have a few courses in mind for things I'd like to work on as well.

Tentatively my focus this year:

- Build a daily study habit
- Hard focus on anatomy and the human figure
  - Individual body parts anatomy
  - Volume and Construction
  - Silhouette and Gesture
- Improve my basic draftsmanship and understanding of simple objects/perspective (atm I draw very sloppily) 

January

January will be 30-day RPG challenge month! Both the husband and I need new portfolio projects and this should be a decent way to get the ball rolling. I'm gonna keep the daily designs fast and sketchy, and then take parts of the challenge I like and polish the ones I think have potential to yeet on my artstation page.

I'll try and use this sketchbook to keep myself accountable and hopefully get feedback. I still don't really have a very clear voice/direction with the sorta stuff I do, so maybe I'll get to explore that a bit better this year. I also REALLY want to close some of my fundamentals gaps, so if you spot any recurring mistakes or weaknesses I'd really appreciate your notes and crits.

To a productive and fruitful 2024!
