2022 in the rearview mirror
Can I claim success???
When I started this in 2022, it was because I wanted to engage my artistic side more, to be more intentional in being more creative. So, I thought doing 1 sketch a day would be the way to go, and posting on Tumblr would make me accountable.
In a lot of ways - this worked! I posted ... close to 150 days of sketches. 142 sketches according to my . I did do more but I didn't post those. I also did 2 commisisons. Well, I drew 2 things for one commission. I finally did my comic book version of NaNoWriMo. I would say I've done a lot more art in 2022 than I have in any other year.
But I also learned this was a monumental task, and I failed at it. Life just got in the way of doing 1 sketch a day - work, family, health issues, other interests. Not only was it hard to get inspired but finding the time to actually do it. And then the quality... I mean, yes, these are supposed to be quick sketches, but I know I can do better. I don't think these were representative of what I can do.
It's too bad I can't change my user ID. I don't think I'll be able to sustain 1 sketch a day, but I definitely want to keep this going. I'm thinking 1 artwork a month. That'll relieve some pressure from needing to post daily. And hopefully let me create something that really shows my skills.
So here's to 2023. Looking to post at least 1 complete artwork a month. With scattering of sketches here and there. Coz sometimes my brain wants to draw something else.
