I figured it is about time to resurect this old thread being as alot of people seem down at the moment. although alot of people have fallen out of the running for the dragon scroll everyone who has participated in the challenge has improved this is inspite of whatever personal problems or lack of inspiration or anything that has got in the way.

congrats all. the end of this year is with in site. YOU CAN DO EET.

Yeah, it would be nice to be able to have all that time from freeing yourself up from everyday chores to do, well , stuff you wanted to.

that would do it Pix but it does have one catch to it. the getting loads and loads of money part.

yes, i need to start my fightclub piece and comic stuff. so much drawing to do but not enough time in the day. i spent all day today doing family crap i dont wanna do.
That's the trouble with art, life gets in the way.

there is got to be a way to separate life from art. only thing i can think of, is to get alot of money so you can just pay others to the stuff you dont wanna do. then you have all day to do what you want.

Hey jackrulz- I've been meaning to reply for ages, but you know how it is, (eech garlic!- I think I must have been a vampire in a former life) You mean the daily sketch?

Yes, the challenge is to do 365 consecutive sketches (one every day for a year - its really hard). but they can be stick men/doodles if you are short of time.(I've seen backgrounds, sketches on greggs wrappers, literal stick men, you name it) although people like Em tend to do such fantastic work in 30 mins that most of us up our game to try and keep up. plus its a wonderful chance to improve your skillz and get feedback and suggestions to where you are going wrong.

Some of us post wips daily for a more complex piece if we can't do it in a day.

It's a Personal challenge- if you sketch every day you will improve ,if you stretch yourself, by practice if nothing else. Some people are keeping a personal tally resetting to 1officially when they miss a day(or ten) but keeping their personal total going.

Some people have dropped out of the challenge but continue to drop by to share their work now and again. It's up to you, as long as it encourages you to draw more often. Hope that helped?

*edit*-Oh, and they don't have to be posted on the day if you are short of time ,or the scanner broke , or you are on holiday with no access to a computer etc.( as long as you drew them on the day(s), 1 each day),

Good luck
