Yeah, but it'd be awfully silly if they expected us to be as good as they are right off the bat.
We're all learning to improve, don't let the intimidation discourage you!
I would like to join. I think this is a great idea.
Name: Frank
Goals:
1. Character Concepts - Better Designs and concepts for characters as well as natural and dynamic poses.
2. Broader horizons - Animal anatomy, landscape studies, interior design and props.
3. Back to the basics - Carefully study basic proportions, perspective, anatomy and composition.
Thanks for this thread, I really needed something like this!
I'm gonna do this, I always say I need to get better at things, and hopefully you people will keep me going.
1. Start slow - The most basic of basic stuff.
2. Get digital - Learn to use GIMP or Photoshop better.
3. Notice actual progression - Anyone can draw lines on paper, but finding out what I need to change and actually seeing the change will mean a lot to me.
I just realized that i'm going to be spending my entire Friday going to the airport, hopping across two flights, unpacking and picking up last-minute art supplies for school! Wah!
start jan 1st, dump to drawings january 2nd
get into regular 7 day weeks the following week, second dump of 7 drawings on the 9th
and so on and so on
saturdays are dump days
the last week is going to be a little different if jan 1st doesn't fall on a saturday
also are there even 365 days this year?

Too late, Tam.
Oh and I wasn't around earlier, but thanks for the well-wishes, man.

Eh, I'm in.
As for goals, I'm not really very picky right now. I just want to get myself to draw more often. That shouldn't be hard to do honestly.
I guess if I had to pick three though they'd be...
- To draw more full figures
- Work more on value and contrast
- Learn perspective
Moorkus --- Goals:
1. Draw every day.
2. Learning the basics, read some books on the subject, draw from life. Maybe one study / exercise per fun drawing or something along those lines.
3. I.. don't really know, I'm sure I'll figure something out once I understand the basics better.

Alright, I'll bite. Lets see how long I can keep this up.
I'm going to start a journal/diary thingy to help myself figure out how my brain works. It's been a long time since I've drawn stuff that comes from my heart, rather then from form and function (like a character design). Expect to see a lot of bizarre demon-looking manifestations of symbolism accompanied by incomprehensible written scrawl.
Should be a ride.
think i might make my daily drawings comic-journals

Maybe this was already addressed, and I completely missed it, but are we ideally supposed to have two drawings for this Saturday, or nine for the following Saturday instead??
We're posting this first Saturday, yes, but I'm not sure if it's one or two. As in, on Saturday, do we post the drawing we've done that day or the previous Saturday?
Beavo said two on this Sat, so that implies that we will post (on normal weeks) 7 drawing starting with the previous sunday through the current saturday which is the same day we are posting. This is how I interpret it, anyway.
I would sign up for this as I already decided to make this my New Years Resolution (which is why I wandered into AC in the first place) but I have no way to dump my drawings so I'll just participate in spirit.
Unless I can take a photo of my drawings and post that. Can I do that? Is that stupid?
In any case, I drew a picture of a baby today for New Years Day.

I am so looking forward to this.

you get good by practicing

You should; maybe Valve will sell those too.
Way to shoot my encouragement out of the water D':

2. Get digital - Learn to use GIMP or Photoshop better.
3. Notice actual progression - Anyone can draw lines on paper, but finding out what I need to change and actually seeing the change will mean a lot to me.
Can I submit my drawing during the 2nd?
But alright, I wouldn't mind doing more, especially not on break.

didn't i?
what the...
okay now you're there
man i'm silly
did i miss anyone else?
My goals will be to:
be more dynamic in motion and perspective
Increase cuteness through expanding variety of styles in design and colour
That seems fair. I will also try doing some animating on the side.
All right, we're doing this! We're making this happen!
