Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

Same here.

Since it doesn't come naturally, for me I figure that in large part it probably comes down to practice, or lack thereof. In early days, I remember getting quite good at certain faces, when I was making art exclusively for one fandom.

I think in the last 10 years or so I keep flitting around from one subject matter to another, and haven't really produced multiple pieces of any one particular face. Maybe I should take time to do that!
