I've posted up to Day 60 of my challenge now. It's still not caught-up with where I am currently on the challenge (Day 254 as of writing), but posting about 10-20 drawings in my backlog everyday should get me caught-up pretty soon.

I had to stop writing little descriptions of these drawings so I could speed things-up, but I do plan on returning to these when I'm bored or after I'm done this year-long challenge. I just find it cool to reflect on how I used to draw and compare it to how I draw now, along with telling a few little stories I had while doing some of these drawings.

I've also noticed that some of my hand-written notes on these older drawings are really hard to read, so I might need to remaster some of these old drawings at some point to replace the handwriting with text (along with fixing some of my typos), as well as lightly re-drawing some of the art to make it more visible (scanners can only do so much).

As always most of my old art, and anything that's just line-art on my new drawings I don't find them worthy for the Art portal. With the exception of one old drawing, anything I do in colour will be tweaked to have the notes removed and posted to the Art portal. This gives me an excuse to practice colouring and shading, and doesn't clutter the Art portal with drawings littered with notes on them.

Hope this informs someone out there (I don't even know how people see this), I'm glad if you like the art I've done, and ANY constructive criticism is definitely welcome.

Just started uploading my early days of the challenge (don't look, they're ugly). Stopped at Day 4, but I'm currently at Day 250...this will probably take a good while to catch-up to my current progress.

What I'll be doing is uploading my current Day for my Daily Drawing challenge, as well as a few of my older days everyday in order to catch-up. It will be confusing to look at my art section, but I've made a playlist that organizes things in the proper order.

This whole news feed thing isn't working-out as well as I'd plan, but now that I'm comfortable with the site I'll try something different:

All my finalized pieces will be posted in the art portal, while all my daily stuff will be kept outside of it and be saved in a playlist in chronological order.

I've been doing a similar thing over on Twitter, but didn't know how to transfer it over here until recently.

So remember when I said that my hand tutorial was a little too hard to pull-off yesterday...yeah this is why.

This is pretty much all my research I've done on hands in a nice updated package, and all I did to find this info was to look at my hands and analyze every detail for probably a little too long.

My research is freaking ludicrous sometimes.

Read at your own pace...'cause there's a lot to digest.

here's a high quality version of my reference pic. These types of hand gestures I take are great for practising how to draw hands due to how weird the finger placement is.

...Even I had issues trying to draw this one properly.

Was planning on updating my hand tutorial, but it required a lot more work than I thought, and I'm just tired. Maybe I'll do that tomorrow...No promises.

Time to stop being lazy and go back to my old routine before my mind has a chance to make-up its mind, and lock me in a state of drowsiness for a couple days.

For anyone wondering what this is, I've made a challenge for myself to draw everyday for one year without ANY breaks after being inspired by Telepurte's year-long animation challenge.

For anyone wondering where Days 1-245 are, they're still on my Twitter at the moment (@NothanyTPM). I'll be trying to bundle my whole collection so far somewhere here, and after this challenge is done I'll even include a sort of post-commentary for each day during the entire year.

History:

I've heard of this site since my childhood, but never visited the site often (I was more into MaxGames, MiniClips, and StickNinja). I've had this website in the back of my mind since 2017 (When Flash announced its discontinuation date of 2020), but didn't find a reason to make an account until recently.

One day in February during a COVID lock-down, I decided to learn how to draw by myself, and document everything I did for a year without missing a day (you know, for masochistic fun!). I've been doing this for well over half a year straight, and had no luck on Twitter, so I might as well try to migrate my art here and to see if I have better luck.

The Point:

I'm new here, and I have a backlog of over 200 drawings (and growing) for a year-long (and still on-going) project I'm doing, and I'd like to post it here. Half of it was done on paper, the other half was done digitally, all of them have notes written on them, and the first 50 or so drawings are crude scribbles (because I didn't know how to draw in the beginning).

I'd like to know where I should post these drawings, as it's quite different from the norm. The whole point of my challenge is to show this sort of evolution a potential artist can have when starting-out, with notes detailing how I felt, and what I've learned along the way. I'm also certain the first few days of my art challenge are probably going to get blammed due to how bad I was at drawing, but all of them are important.

I do plan on cropping-out the notes from a few drawings that I find are a good enough quality to post on their own.

I also want to know if I can make an album that compiles every drawing I've made in chronological order, so that way people won't need to scroll for an eternity to see my early beginnings.

Here's a quick sample of what I've done:
