    January Daily Sketches

    Hi! Sorry this is so late. I originally planned on creating weekly videos of the sketches but changed my mind as that would just take too much time. It also took me a bit to find a good free video editor and to learn to use it. This is all new to me so it took some time. I chose to use Da Vinci Resolve. It not only was free, it did the things I wanted and it wasn’t clunky or hard to use. I don’t have a fancy camera so I just used my Pixel 3 to create the videos. Hopefully as I keep doing these videos I will get better at it.

    As for the sketches I thought I should mention that my sketches will always be in pencil, they will be quick and most likely there won’t be a ton of great ones. I don’t think sketches should take a long time to do; unless I plan on turning it into a completed piece. Even then I still may create a quick sketch before creating a more fleshed out sketch. Since this sketchbook is just to get me into sketching everyday it is very unlikely that there will many, if at all any fleshed out sketches in this sketchbook. I actually have another sketchbook I tend to use for that.

    The only reason I am creating videos of my sketches is that I wanted a way that would hold me accountable to sketching daily. I originally wanted to post pictures on Instagram but as I thought about it more I really didn’t want to flood my followers feeds with constant multiple daily pictures. I know there are people who hate that.

    Below is January’s video. You can watch it here or on Youtube.

    2019 Goals


    1 – Sketch/Draw Everyday.

    I plan to sketch everyday in a 600 page sketchbook that I bought almost 2 years ago. The plan is to do about 2 pages a day so that by the end of the year I will have filled the entire sketchbook.

    2 – Start a New Series.

    I’d like to do another series like the creature series I did back in 2017. Not sure yet what the theme will be but it will most likely be done in watercolor.

    3 – Improve My Watercoloring Skills.

    Watercolors are my favorite medium which is why I want to improve my skills.

    4 – Create a Coloring Book.

    I love creating coloring pages. I’ve created many in the past. This I would like to create a physical coloring book.

    5 – Try All the New Art Supplies I Haven’t Gotten a Chance to Try Yet.

    I have a few art supplies that I have never gotten a chance to try. I would like to try them all by the end of the year.

    6 – New Challenge.

    Create a new challenge or participate in a challenge I have never participated in before.

    Goals for 2015

    Well this is a bit late. I normally like to post my goals at the beginning of January but I have been busy. I’m keeping the goals this year simple. I’m also not actively participating in any weekly or monthly challenges with the exception of some challenges that aren’t all year. Last year I participated in The Documented Life Project which was weekly prompts and it felt like that was all I did. I didn’t create many things outside of the project and since I want to create more and not less I am not doing any. However if I come across a prompt in a challenge that interests me I might do it if I have time.

    This year I am also co-hosting a 24 Hour Art-a-thon with Rhonda of Chase’s Creatures, Ruth of Twelve Squared Creations and Sarah of Wonderstrange. I’m really looking forward to this. I will write a post in the next few days about it. For now if you are interested you can check out the website – 24hourartathon.com.
