30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge
Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn’t improving? Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that’s actually useful? Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. >:D
I made this because I’ve been feeling super ‘blah’ 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 other’s 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 that’s 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
Let’s have some fun. Design a character from either This or This character generator! Be creative and bring something to life!
Pick the weirdest object in your house/room. Draw it. Shadows and Highlights.
Find 2-3 objects, make a scene with them. Draw it. Bonus points for creativity. Double points for dramatic lighting.
Draw a landscape of a place you’ve never been or drawn.
Draw a BG with 1pt Perspective. Negative points if it’s a railroad or an empty street.
Draw a BG with 2pt Perspective.
Look out a window. Draw what you see. Bonus points for adding something interesting.
Draw an interior setting with the character you designed on Day #6 in it.
BG with either bird’s eye or worm’s eye view.
Halfway there! Draw three 'action’ scenes with different compositions in each. Quick sketches are fine, just make them interesting and understandable! Bonus points if it’s the same scene, but different composition.
Draw a single page comic with 5-7 panels (the story begins and ends on one page).
Draw an animal you’ve never drawn before. x10 Link references.
Draw a car. Negative points for whining. Hint: Use a perspective grid.
Think of the thing you hate drawing the most. Guess what? Draw it! Negative points for lying to yourself.
Pick an object in your house/room. Now design a character from it, using the shapes, forms, textures, purpose and colors as inspiration. Also link/post the object you used. Negative points for using a humanoid action figure.
Draw a character/object/scene, and shade them using ONLY solid blacks and whites. Bonus points for good use of lights/shadows
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). Don’t forget light and shadows!
Draw a scene/character in a style you’ve never drawn before. If emulating an artist, credit+link. Bonus for color style.
Draw a character. Draw 10 emotions/expressions. Bonus points for 'uncommon’ emotions. (i.e. anxiety, guilt, despair, loneliness etc.)
Draw three random shapes using your opposite hand (or your foot). Now design characters from those shapes.
Turn on the tv (or load your illegally downloaded movies). Pick an actor and draw them.
Almost done! Let’s have some fun. Draw some fanart. Bonus points if it’s super obscure and unknown. Make people guess what it’s from.
Last day! Find a drawing you did within the last year. Now draw it again using what you’ve learned! Link it for comparison!
Look at all that amazing improvement! Congrats!
[Update] There is now a sequel challenge, Draw All The Things!

ETHEL CAIN PHOTOGRAPHED BY DOLLIE KYARN
it's so crazy to me that I explained myself to having no motivation to do art as an artist and not knowing how to navigate that being ADHD and Autistic.
then some people (irl) ask a load of questions implying that I am inherently wrong for not having that, "all artists must have passion or how can they be artists?"
so I clarify passionately about my disabilities because it's my current special interest, then people tell me I am "clearly very angry" about it and should drop the topic if it makes me "that mad".
and then I clarify - oh no I'm just very passionate about being clear and understandable and my disabilities being understood properly- and then they keep insisting I'm clearly upset and frustrated
SO NATURALLY I GET FRUSTRATED AND UPSET BECAUSE YOU ARE SEEMINGLY DELIBERATELY NOT LISTENING TO ME
and then I get "see! I knew you were upset."
my motivation to do art is no driving force, it is an extension of my body, like an additional limb. it comes naturally to me because being human is (mostly) natural to me. it's not a passion, but a fact of life for me. I do not need passion, motivation, or a drive to do my art simply because I will do it regardless, as a human.
I couldn't find the words at the time to understand that. Those were the words I was searching for, and needed time to verbally and mentally process over months.
people often get fed up with me being a very repetitive person (despite this being a literal characteristic of autism) and having to verbally process my situations because, bluntly, it takes a very long time for me to mentally understand what happens in my discussions and actions every single day. This has led me to be labelled an "overthinker" ever since I was little.
In reality, I wanted more than anything to fit in, blend in, and understand what tf is happening. THAT is where my frustration lies. So when I FINALLY understand something and I am able to explain it, and people tell me I probably overthought it, or I am just flat out wrong is (to me) a denial of my reality.
People were right, I didn't need an explanation to be an artist. But what I needed to unlock the words to help me understand my practice as an artist was a gentle, curiosity focused discussion.
I regret attempting to do that with friends and not my parents or a mentor.
Cat on fake skin
My reference photos from 2017 💕
Mini lamb flash as spring is coming!!
The lambs are from photos i took at a farm in 2017, i've always loved the photos and i really wanted to draw myself a lamb tattoo (might go more cartoonish though)
UPDATE
Slowly been doodling on this fake skin for a while now. I feel pretty intimidated to try on myself right now because my skill level is definitely very low, but I really want to do it soon! Also yet to use a stencil which i know is gonna be a lot of help with stablising my linework (also trying some drawing exercises to help with it too).
Drew some random things i saw on my pinterest feed as i needed an exercise to get me back into drawing. Not feeling super mentally creative unfortunately :( but it's helping me figure out how to construct flash pages !
my first ever practice on practice skin !!! ill admit i didnt particularly follow the hygiene protocols but i just needed to get myself doing it.
Literally did the dumbest little designs and lines n stuff, next time planning on using the stencil transfer bits i have!
WIP of my first flash! It is inspired by Ethel Cain♡
Recently i got into Preacher's Daughter and i now understand why everyone loves it so much, she is such a fucking talented and beautiful artist
im so excites to finalise this flash and come up with more designs, i think i need to lean into some more of those 'country' elements that can fit in with the fish lure, tree hide, hunting aesthetic
