This user is super charismatic, skilled, creative, and underrated! 
Here's their journal: 
<da:thumb id="726022828"/>
They're making stickers and have commissions open but aren't having much luck. Which is honestly very surprising because their art is When the Deviation/Art/Upload is Just Right (icon)  
Please consider sharing the word or taking time to look at their work. You won't be disappointed! 

I hope you're all having a wonderful day, and thank you for reading :heart:

Happy [belated] New Years, everyone!

I always get so excited when it's the New Years because a lot of people are setting goals and resolutions and I'm just looking at them from across the table like:

Let me help you, buddy-o-pal smile 


One of my personal goals for this year is to write monthly journals to motivate, inspire, or at least get some ideas out there that I think will be useful.
For my first journal, I'm going to give a list of goals you can set for yourself that are related to art/writing. 
You can use these as inspiration for other goals if you don't like any of them, and you can set goals any time of the year. Remember that.




Art


1.) Learn to draw something you aren't used to drawing 
     [Ex., animals, backgrounds, dynamic poses, etc.]

2.) Make one drawing every month where you try finding a new technique/media/style to use and make it purposefully ugly. 
     It's a good way of testing out new ways to draw things without the pressure of making it look good.

3.) Learn to finish drawings, even if especially if you don't like how they're coming along. 
     It's better to be able to point at a thousand completed drawings and say "I dislike this because ___" than to have nothing to point at in the first place.

4.) Open commissions, art trades, etc. if you haven't already and you're able to.

5.) Learn to make gifs Llama Emoji 27 (Awesome) [V2] <-- that's you feeling badass once you know how to create your own emotes to use. 

6.) Fill a page with sketches within a time frame that works for you, and one that you will stick to.
     For example, not many people will want to fill a page every day right off the bat. Maybe fill a page every week and then change that to every three days, and so on. 


Writing


1.) Form the habit of reading with purpose. 
     If you like a piece of writing, try finding out what the author did and why that works. 

2.) Form the habit of being critical of everything you read, because there's always room for improvement.
     News articles are a good place to practice this because new ones are being written daily.

3.) Try filling a notebook with one theme written in various forms/genres/tones by the end of the year.

4.) Write in forms/genres/tones that you aren't comfortable with more often. 
     Maybe dedicate each month to a different form/genre/tone?

5.) Another obvious one, but journaling and writing daily is a good habit to develop.


General


1.) Learn how to give constructive criticism.

2.) Learn how to use constructive criticism in a way that will benefit you.

3.) The more you fail, the less you fear. Fail big!

4.) Don't give up. Not that you were planning to anyway, eh? :^P





I hope you'll find these journals useful. 
If there are any topics that you think would be good to be discussed in these journals, let me know.
They can range anywhere from study tips, advice about staying motivated, and so on! 
They don't have to be art-related. I just want to help as many people as I can.

Here's to 2018!!

HEY, HOW'S EVERYONE BEEN. IT'S ME. That one nerd who always deletes his journal out of fear. Idk why I even try anymore tbh, anxiety sucks ass.

Anyways, I was tagged by polishedpieceofdirt

The grammar on it was fucking atrocious, so I fixed it [for the most part]. I'm a perfectionist. I'm also trying to get everything done asap so I can relax.
End my suffering, please. Or give me coffee at least.

__________________________

1. What fandom are you more into now?
Don't think I'm in any fandoms?? I like the game OFF and a few anime like Durarara, FMA, Owari no Seraph, Osomatsu-San, etc. but I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan.

2. Your favorite classical music?
Ahh gosh, too many! I'll list the ones that I like on a personal level. I'm passionate as hellfire about music, and I could write entire books on each of these pieces. No joke B')

Why is this even a question? I've never even been to either of those countries, so I can't answer. 

6. What country do you want to go to?
Ehh there's so much out there... but Italy is the country I want to visit most.

pr0nhub lel

Attempted joke aside, I don't watch shows very often. 
But I recently got access to Rick and Morty... so we'll see.

Never had the chance to play games much but I like OFF, Legend of Zelda, and Professor Layton.
