30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge
Are you tired of feeling like your art just isnât improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge thatâs actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D
I made this because Iâve been feeling super âblahâ about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!
Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell so everyone can follow along and see each otherâs awesome artwork. I may even create a blog and reblog them! :D
What are you waiting for? START!

Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Donât forget light and shadows!
