WELCOME 2023! - Goals for this year 📚
Added 2023-01-02 16:08:34 +0000 UTCHappy New Year everyone! 🎉
I'm not the type of person to make New Year's resolutions. I am the type of person who decides on improving something almost every day. It's exhausting.
Every day I tell myself that I should do something differently: I should do more yoga, walk instead of driving, go to bed and get up earlier, eat smaller portions because otherwise my stomach hurts and drink more water but not during the meals. I shouldn't sit in a shrimp position (like I do at the moment), waste money on silly stuff, eat meat or put off laundry so long that I don't have any clean socks left. I should keep in touch with family and friends, put everything away so I could found it easier, start a YouTube channel, write a book, reed more books, post regularly on Instagram, spend more time in nature, paint with oils, learn more about how to take care of my plants, work faster, have more time to play with my cat and remember about taking my supplements.
Every day my brain is filled with new ideas to be better. The number of goals I set overwhelms me to such an extent that I cannot enjoy small successes. I'm always sure I should do more.
I realized that I missed the goal I had set for myself when I left a full-time job. My goal was to take a break from constant, hardly noticeable challenges and focus on my passion. This plan is of course evolving and I find that there are new opportunities ahead of me, but I don't want to forget the initial goal. I want to do art. Develop my skills, create good, bad and ugly sketches, fill sketchbooks with doodle traffic, take photos and have time to be grateful for all of this.
My plan for this year is to be a human-being, not a human-doing.
What are your plans? 😊

PS. In the photos you can see my today's anatomy/ arm structure studies based on the book "Design your own anime and manga characters" by amazing TB Choi. I still feel insecure when I draw full figures so I try to practice anatomy, to change it.

Happy New Year! Wish you a lot of joy and fulfillment in your passion.
2023-01-02 22:42:06 +0000 UTCI simply hope to continue to carve out time for my passions, even if I love my job, too. I hope to improve myself because now drawing is a passion... and a way to unwind. Thank you very much for the interesting and useful content! Happy New Year to all!
2023-01-02 22:40:40 +0000 UTCThank you! Maybe I’ll do a similar plan with the books I wanna read 🤔
2023-01-02 17:23:18 +0000 UTCHappy new year! I also don’t like to make New Year’s resolutions. Today, my daughter and I decided and which TV shows and movies we‘ll watch in 2023. A friend of mine always does something like, not buying from Amazon anymore for a year, or eating no sugar for a year, no more new plastic for a year, I like these ideas but we went with the TV shows. 😁 And I will try to draw daily, as I‘ve done almost every day in 2022. I‘ve also been trying to draw anime/manga characters, so this is a good tip for me, thank you. Thank you, for all the amazing content! ❤︎
