I guess I don't really have much to talk about, which is probably more of a good thing...

Anyway

I feel like I'm drawing myself into a dead end in a way. I'm mostly improving on skills that require knowledge and experience, like coloring and shading, but not so much skills that require practice, or motor skills, like anatomy(I still can't do hands well lol), expressions, poses, or just plain drawing speed.

As a result I keep getting slower as I get better. And my shading is now limited by the lack of sketching and anatomy skills

It's reached a point where my rather shortlived motivation doesn't last long enough to finish something lol

So I think I wanna focus a bit more on sketches over fully colored drawings. Stuff like comics, or something where there's more going on than in just a single picture.
Besides, there's only so many ways you can squash someone in a single pic without repeating yourself.
I think I wanna also get better on lower quality coloring just to speed things up. Like, simpler shading, or less precise lines, while avoiding that it looks unfinished. No idea how to do that though...

I also wanna focus more on using my own characters over fanart type stuff.
It's a difficult habit to break because it's just a lot more fun drawing already established characters over my own.
Additionally, nowadays, with drawing of characters from cartoons/games it keeps getting more and more difficult to pick a character that is okay to draw

So yeah, that

That journal is mostly there to remind myself about my plans, because I tend to forget about them and fall back into my old habits again lol

Before I start there's still two pics I had started that I wanna finish first in my usual way though
