I'd make a list of what you want to improve, and then circle the most important things for you to improve, then draw art which improves those things. My latest one was colour, so I started out copying colour from photos to kinda feel how it works. Then I ventured out on my own. I'm getting better now, but there's alot to learn. It's taken me a year to get this far, but now most of my art looks better coloured rather than just some of it Smile

Don't just say 'improve using a pencil though when you mean that you want to improve your composition, or your dynamics, or facial expressions. Break your goals down to their simplest form. That way, they feel easier to accomplish and you will accomplish them Smile That's what I do, and it seems to work for me.

I see. I have a friend who has this kind of systematic thinking.
You are probably right on making a list is useful and make you be able to follow your progress, hmm...
I do have my priotities yeah. Right now it's paneling and japanese painting style.. colours are somewhat further behind. I'm a bit impatient but...right now it is what I need.
Thanks for your thoughts =3

    For me, it makes the process feel easier, then you can also see a visual progress of your art. It may seem pedantic, but sometimes a check list can remind you that it's not such a difficult thing to do Smile
