So my big, crazy plan for 2025 is reviving the “1 drawing a day” challenge that I failed the last time I did it. I feel like the reason I failed was because I kept thinking I had to do full pieces, and fell into the hole of trying to do better and better things, eventually leading to burning myself out. So to give myself a (hopefully very good) chance, I’ve come up with some ground rules:

1. The Daily Doodle should take no longer than an hour, with an ideal time of 30 minutes or less.
2. The Daily Doodle doesn’t have to be the only thing I draw that day, but should be what I do first.
3. The only reason The Daily Doodle should take over an hour is if I come in with something specific in mind that I’m confident I can finish in one sitting.

Also, calling it “The Daily Doodle” puts a little less pressure on me to make something good, and focus on just making something. The whole point of this isn’t to routinely put out bangers, it’s to re-form a habit of drawing, and to build consistency. That’s the real goal here. Ultimately, if I end up building the habit and boosting my self confidence, maybe I’ll venture into new styles or techniques or something. We’ll see where the year takes us.

I'll probably end up doing a mix of digital and traditional stuff, with a focus on digital. Again, I don't really plan on pushing boundaries or anything until I'm more confident in what I can do. Keep things nice and in the comfort zone for now.

I plan on doing some other stuff throughout the year, and still plan on doing Art Fight (as is tradition). So keep an eye peeled for any announcements for stuff.


A nice, short update this year. Here's to a great 2025!
