Hello there, I'm Anthony! Or Nothany if you go by my username.

I'm a self-taught artist that's still learning how to draw, and I decided to do the masochistic thing of learning how to draw from scratch while drawing everyday for a year straight! No day off! No holiday break! No excuses! Just draw for a year straight!

I've started posting this challenge on Twitter, but found no luck, so I moved here by around Day 250.

[Can't say I didn't try...though, it was a huge pain to move around 250 drawings here]

The rules are simple:

•NO TRACING!!!

[I'm learning, not cheating]

•Draw an acceptable drawing everyday

[Don't do a line and/or circle and call it a day...a smiley face is perfectly OK though]

•Pencils down by 7AM PST*

[I often sleep past midnight, and I was usually never awake at 7AM]

•No fancy tricks for digital drawings

[using layers and moving a drawing around is fine. Resizing, rotating, flipping, and moving small chunks of a drawing are not. Copy/pasting is a gray area and should be used sparingly]

*Time extensions can be made if the drawing program crashes, or locks-up for a while. If I lose an hour because of a crash, I will extend the time by an hour.

So far it's been a fun bumpy ride as I gradually become a better artist, and criticism is always welcome! [I NEED IT!]

You can find all of my drawings I've done in chronological order through my playlists (365 Days of Nothany). Going back through some of my older drawings can be both interesting, and cringe-worthy. And because I left notes behind on almost all my drawings it can be an interesting read too.

I keep most of my art here is private, but I make almost all my full colour pieces public. I do this because I don't want to clog the Art portal with line-art or rough sketches that have a bunch of notes on them.

Hope you enjoy the ride, as I struggle to constantly keep-up with my own demands!
