This new thread, along with the other new one that I just created, are part of my New Year's Resolution to improve my ability to draw and animate.
I may have been posting daily drawings on the O.D.A.D. the past few months, and I'm happy to say that doing so has somewhat improved my drawing skills.
But let's face it, I am one laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy butt-hole :mad:
I certainly do not feel that I have been nearly studying and drawing as much as I should be, and because drawing and animating is so much like exercising, if you don't step up your game you will eventually hit a plateau were your skill level stays the same. Never improving. Stagnant. Dead...
I've been waging a war with laziness for far too long, and these two threads are going to help me win this war once and for all!
This particular thread will deal with studies of the human figure, a subject that I don't nearly study as much as I should.
Therefore, upon this thread I promise to post AT LEAST one page of human anatomy study and AT LEAST one page of quick, gestural study each and every day. Effective January 1st, 2011
Why am I doing this? Because, I sincerely want nothing more than to be held accountable for my shortcomings, and establishing a goal on a public forum puts my integrity at risk, and without my integrity, how could I even stand to look myself in the mirror each morning?
I want to model these two threads after the ODAD thread (which I still plan on maintaining by the way). So I don't want this type of open commitment to be solely used by me, everyone and anyone is free to join me and embark on this journey to improvement. All I ask in return from any participants is that we help hold each other accountable for any slacking that may occur.
And please! If anyone sees me starting to slack on my commitment, feel free to call me names, send me nasty emails, and call me out on my failure to uphold my word.
This new year I AM GOING TO IMPROVE MYSELF!
DEATH TO LAZINESS!
