Me wants oil paints!

[Eyliana]

... But I'll have to earn them. Last weeks it has been slow to keep drawing consistently and I notice that the practice I had with lines and boxes and whatever goes away quickly when I don't keep drawing. So I set a reward, I have to draw every day for two months, if I do so I can buy oil paints as a rewards. If I fail to draw a day, I have two draw two more extra days. I made a schedule (?) to keep track of the days I drew.

This way I hope to keep drawing, improving skill, which will make the paintings better once I get the paints. I used to set targets, as in X hours a week or X drawings a week, but it was always too much and I ended up stressed and demotivated. So I hope this approach will work better :)

Drawing wise I don't have really a clear goal, I'm not planning on becoming professional, I just want to make pretty stuff. I guess I like illustrations and storytelling. But to do so I need fundamentals and that's what I'll be focusing on the next two months.

Study;
• Basic drawing – Draw a box
• Accuracy – Barque & Studies
• Perspective – Scott Robertson
• Full body Anatomy – Hamption, Proko, Loomis

Put in practice:
• Draw-every-I-mean-EVERY-day
• One illustration a month --> Crimson Crucible
• Figure drawing studies
• Real live practice – Full or partial, practice with water colours
• Barque plate

Draw every day! Draw-draw-draw! Go earn those paints :3
