Inktober 2018

1 min read
Hi guys! I wanted to share some of my 2018 Inktober art :D I didn't complete the challenge last year so I was super determined to do it this time. I used official prompt list and mixed it with magical people theme. Drawing people is something that I've been working on for some time and I think this inktober only made me realise how much there is to learn (hands and arms will be my doom). Still, I made huge progress so I'm pretty happy with what I created last month :)

Oh and you can see all my drawings on my blog here

And here are my favourite inktober pieces ;)

Ok so it's time to sum up my 2016 resolutions and make some for 2017 :D

The good new is I didn't fail in the first month :D and even though it didn't go as planned I am still quite satisfied. Here are my successes and failures:
1. Post at least 12 finished artworks - preferably once a month. -> FAIL but I posted 31 inktober drawings and 30 huevember works, although I'm not sure if I can call them "finished". I still think that these two challenges were my greatest achievements this year and I'm really proud of myself for completing them.
2. Complete all lessons in the Proko Library. Bonus points if I do it in six months. -> SUCCESS and I get bonus points for for completing them in six months :D While there's still a lot of room for improvement, I think I have much better grasp of anatomy than before. Of course, I will return to the lessons because there's still so much to learn.
3. "Draw every day." Be it 5 minutes, or 20 minutes, or na hour. I just want to get into the habit of drawing. Of course, I probably 
won't be able to draw EVERY day of the year so I thought that 305 days of drawing will be enough to consider this point successful. -> FAIL The first mistake I made was not making some kind of calendar or something to mark the days I missed. After some time I simply lost count :D BUT I achieved a part of my goal which was to develop a drawing habit. Again, thanks to Inktober and Huevember challenges a day without drawing at least for a moment seems... lacking something ;) 

To sum up, I mostly failed but in a way I managed to achieve some goals and I am happy because I drew more and I feel that I improved.

What about 2017? Here are my new resolutions:

1. Complete one dragon picture each month -> Chosing a main topic (dragons) really helped me with Inktober so I guess it will help here too ;)
2. Complete 30 Days of Improvement Hell

That's it. Happy New Year :D

Inktober 2016

1 min read
Hi! I completed inktober challenge yesterday and I thought I should post something here :D It was the first time I participated and I'm so happy I did all 31 drawings. I've never used ink to draw and of course I had no idea what I was doing for most of the time but it was fun and I think I learned something. I used official inktober prompt list and drew a dragon with my fountain pen and later - a dip pen. Here are some of my favourite inktober drawings and you can see all of them on my blog

That's right. It's this time of the year so I thought that I should finally do something. I've read that if you share your resolutions, it's easier to stick with them, so here I am. Sharing. My resolutions:

1. Post at least 12 finished artworks - preferably once a month. It doesn't seem much but it's six times more than in the previous year ;)
2. Complete all lessons in the Proko Library. Bonus points if I do it in six months.
3. "Draw every day." Be it 5 minutes, or 20 minutes, or na hour. I just want to get into the habit of drawing. Of course, I probably 
won't be able to draw EVERY day of the year so I thought that 305 days of drawing will be enough to consider this point successful.

And that's it. I hope I adjusted these goals well and I won't fail in the first month :D

January update


1. Post at least 12 finished artworks - I haven't posted anything yet but I'm working on it. Hopefully, I manage to finish the piece this week. 
2. Complete all lessons in the Proko Library. Progress:
  • Drawing Basics - 14/14
  • Figure Drawing - 9/28
  • Anatomy of the Human Body for Artists - 0/35
  • Portrait/Head Drawing - 14/14
  • Critiques, Q&As and Conversations - 1/23
  • Fun Stuff - 1/12
Haha! For some reason I forgot about "Fun Stuff". I completed some of the lessons last year so it was a bit easier here ;) Before moving forward, I want to practice drawing heads and gesture for some time.
3. "Draw every day." - 4 days missed so not bad. I want to draw at least 30 minutes a day this month.

In general, this month wasn't a complete success but it wasn't a failure either :D
