Starting from >>4137629 (my first post on DAD)
Life was very stressful at this time for many reasons and my art suffered for it, I eventually burned out at https://dad.gallery/submissions/6221 and dropped out of las for a year

Life is still very stressful but significantly less so, in my time off I did a 30 day challenge where I finished almost one painting a day. This improved my rendering skills a bunch
I then did another 30 day challenge where I created 2 sketches a day for a total of 66 sketches, this improved my sketching abilities a bunch
I was hoping to do another 30 day challenge where I paint for 6 hours a day but I didn't have the endurance for it and failed after 2 days

I've come back to las and have been trying to do alot more studies. I really want to improve my skills because everyday I see artists like Chunie, Darkgem, Veramundis and Caraid post amazing art and I'm nowhere near their level. The more I study, the quicker I will improve and the sooner I'll be at their level.

I'm a strong believer that "just drawing" yields jack shit in terms of improvement, it has to be a study, there has to be a question and you have to find an answer. If you just draw all day for years without thinkin about it you'll be like the many poor souls in the "cringe improvement" threads.
I believe that if you studied like 3-6 hours a day (intense study) you'd git gud tier 5 in a year easily. but good luck doing that lol

The last sfw thing I've done

I feel like I'm always a 4 no matter how much I improve
