Not sure who is particularly interested, but I've been thinking about goals for progress on my own work. Figured I'd share for the sake of posterity. I need to come up with some exercises to push to make these improvements.
- Draw faster (more confidently); better sketches
- Versatility with style/technique (specifically: ability to do cute stuff)
- More appealing compositions
- More flexibility with color (don't use the same damn palette all the time)
- Expressive faces
- Practice with different types of anatomies
*This one requires a little more detail: in furry art, there’s a variety of levels of realism of blending human and animal characteristics. Some artists, can carry a lot of interesting animal traits into the character. Others have much more toony/reductive aspects, or use relatively superficial traits w strong human anatomy. I want to be good at both, and be able to use the former when I want.
- Interesting/appealing character design
- Interesting costumes/clothing
- More varied types of bodies/characters (e.g., muscular characters, chubby characters,), trans characters
- Be able to sketch using physical media
