30 Days of Art Improvement Challenge

Are you tired of feeling like your art just isn't improving? Yes. Frustratingly so.
Do you want to do a 30-day challenge that's actually useful? Yes!
Welcome to 30 Days of Improvement Hell. Aww. Can't this be easy, like stick figures and magic things pouring out of my fingertips? 8C

I made this because I've been feeling super 'blah' about my art these days, and I needed something to kick-start myself. Who wants to do this with me!? Start now or whenever you can (now you procrastinators!). Challenge yourself and have fun at the same time!

Tag your posts with #Improvement Hell (more for Tumblr posts, but I suppose you can do it here too) so everyone can follow along and see each other's awesome artwork.

What are you waiting for? START!
