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!
Self-Portrait - Introduce yourself
Draw a figure using a reference - link to reference
Draw a figure thatâs in action, using a reference - link to reference
Draw a part of the human anatomy you have trouble with. x20, with atleast 5 being skeletal/musculature studies.
Draw more figures. Quick gestures and silhouettes. x20, with atleast 10 different body shapes
Letâs have some fun. Design a character from either This or This character generator! Be creative and bring something to life!

Draw a different object/scene/character. Shade using hatching, crosshatcing, and/or pointillism. Bonus points for lights/shadows and textures.
Colors! Pick a color palette, and paint a scene/character/object using only those colors (some blending allowed). Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows.
Draw and color a scene/object/character - no lines allowed! (aka - lineless art). Donât forget light and shadows!
Draw a scene/character in a style youâve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.

Almost done! Letâs have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if itâs super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what itâs from.
Last day! Find a drawing you did within the last year. Now draw it again using what youâve learned! Link it for comparison!
