And so the struggle begins :D
Day 1: 8h done and tired
Some stuff from today.
RE: Crackbook - Artloader - 04-27-2016
Inspirational sketchbook Crackedskull! You're proving that hard work pays off! I love the broad brush strokes on the two master studies on posts #881 and #885. Keep going dude!
RE: Crackbook - crackedskull - 04-28-2016
Day 2: 8h done
Thank you Artloader :D
Allright time to set a few new rules and also Im gonna repost the goal itself cuz why not.
80h in 10 days.
*No internet aside from music/reference/hangouts while working.
*No more than 1 "nap" or daydream session allowed per day.
*2h of fun timewasters per day.
*No phone in bed
*No more buying energy drinks
If an accident happens or I get sick or otherwise have serious difficulties drawing(arm injury, trauma etc) then the goal will be canceled.
Also if my wrist gets injured again Im not cancelling the goal, gonna draw with my lefty. This also serves as a motivator to not draw recklessly.
Reward: a day off
Punishment: 1 month without internet

Wow, you have improved so much, it's scary. Don't stop.
RE: Crackbook - crackedskull - 04-29-2016
Day 3: 8h done
Thanks Rotten, working on trying to improve even faster and push myself more.
About that, I had a talk with Adam and Murry about that. I proposed I should make a new goal next time that has 12h a day. The reason was that the goal would be overwhelming and force myself to grow and draw more. Murry said that instead of doing that put more effcort into my drawings and paintings. Really try to give it your best and focus. Which, as it turns out is really hard. So maybe next goal I integrate that into it, like: "8h a day, from which 3-4 hours are intense focus study/art and really giving it your best.
Been working this dwarf quite a bit, redesign after redesign, decided to go back to some basic forms and get them into perspective and into proportion after some crits.

I think you should use the focused study time to do concept work. You've got the finishing of paintings down pretty well. You need to focus of the leg work. Challenge yourself to do 20 thumb nail design iterations of one character. Then Move it to 40 and so on. Really try to increase the number of different ideas you can come up with for one thing. Like this challenge Jake Parker did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxa01j9Ns7o

Day 4: 8h done
Good idea, first design is the skeleton archer, I think I went too detailed with it. Also considering doing 100 iterations of a pop-culture icon.

Every day make sure you give it your all for atleast 3 hours [no distractions at all(so no music or hangouts)]
* No internet aside from music/reference/hangouts while working.(breaking this rule 3 times in a day means I will disconnect from the internet until my daily hours are done and Im caught up with the schedule)
* 1 nap per day
* 2h for unproductive activities on computer
* No phone in bed
* No more buying energy drinks
If an accident happens I will postphone the goal.
Also if my wrist gets injured again Im not cancelling the goal, gonna draw with my lefty.

Punishments: 2 months without internet.
A day without food.

I like your construction work on the dwarf and your studies in the last piece - gives your work a well-formed feel to it. Keep going mate - great effort.
