Which art challenge are you most excited to try this year? I hope you all have a great 2021. What are your art goals for this year? 🥰

[@sketchingwithrose6645]

Inktober and Mermay I guess?

[@roxyrose1962]

My goals are to get better at drawing and Im excited for all these challenges!!

[@seren6165]

I would love to get better at proportion so I’ll definitely try the first challenge

[@James28055]

2 hour just the small eyes for shading and the sketch is very hard for me even I use grid also That my problem

[@laurence7409]

I find the 7 day sketch challenge very clever because on day one, it can be difficult sometimes to see his own mistakes (proportions, etc). Whereas on day 2, with a fresh look, we can see them. i will try that. Thank you for the idea !

[@NaomiCoutureArt]

I so agree with working on values, besides an accurate sketch values will make your art look realistic. I was having trouble getting some white icing dark enough for a tutorial and finally took the plunge and went way darker then what I thought the photo was but it made all the difference in the end :)

[@JNeedels]

Working on Proportions & stopping at the middle stage are my challenges for this month. Thanks for identifying these issues for us.

New year special!! So ready to take my Art to the next level ! Thx for the tips Kirsty !!

[@FrensArtStudio]

So good to see a new video from you, Kirsty... These challenges are really interesting and helpful!

[@lucysjourney]

Back in September I got serious about my art and recently I do a watercolour painting when I looked back at my art from then I realised how much I had improved so even though I don't like my most recent watercolour I still know I am improving!

[@FineArtforChrist]

That's great, keep up the good work!

[@prvthvmv]

I loved the way you teach, you are such an inspiration! I hope so that your channel grows more😊

[@redsalamander9999]

That fourth challenge is an interesting idea. I'm one of those people who often spends far too long on a piece, so I've attempting to find ways to speed up my work, but I suppose it depends on what you're doing and what the circumstances are (in my case, I draw things from life, and they don't always like to remain in one place, so being able to portray them quickly is essential).

[@quinn8745]

Self-critique is one of the Key!

[@elizabethperez1829]

Thank you Kirsty for this helpful video. I noticed you answered questions from your survey. My resolution for this year is improving color accuracy. I’ve improved highlights/shadows with your tutorials. Your tip using black paper to practice your highlights is true. I’ve done this method before by using white colored pencil and ink on toned paper, and it looks realistic. For those who are beginners and under a budget, I recommend buying newspaper print (I.e. Strathmore Newsprint) for practicing highlights/shadows, but only if you’re using art pencils or graphite pencils because the paper is very thin.

[@allennavelgas884]

Idk if it's going to work on you guys, but after I got up from almost 3 months of artblock, I watch Kirsty's videos for inspiration and ideas. Then voila! I recovered from Art block after trying out drawing stuffs to see if it worked.

[@lynnrushton7458]

Happy new year Kirsty! Hope your gorgeous baby is doing well. Definitely gonna do the draw it again challenge. I’ve done that before, and it really boosts my faith in me. I’m absolutely brutal critiquing my own work, & never feel like I’ve improved, until I do the same drawing a year later. Thank you x

[@ladylizcreates7719]

I love the black and white pencil drawing on an off white paper challenge. I'll definitely try that.

[@meloj3271]

[@nayshaprasad8318]

you are really helpful, my drawings used to be flat af and have weird coloring when i used watercolor. Now i can actually draw portraits and animals and my watercolor looks almost real most of the time!

[@brucenunn3268]

Kirsty, Thank you for these Challenges. I am not sure how to say this but I will try and I hope it makes Scene. I feel like there is a Need for Somewhat of a Road Map for Younger Artists. Kind of like a Guide to Follow, to Improve Art. I do know that everyone is On a Different Skill Level and Everyone Path is Different. But a Some what of a Master Class Basics Guide, for Beginner to Intermediate Artists. I have Found out that Repetition has Served me well the Last 5 Months or so. That has Helped me Improve my Skills a lot. I have also found your Video on Critiquing Your Own Art Work is Huge when it comes to Improving Weaknesses. Just my feelings as a Long time Artist that Strives to Improve. Thank you for your Channel and what you do. Your Channel is The BEST..!! 👊😎

These are such good challenges for improving Kirsty! I'm definitely going to try all of them and i'm thinking about doing them every couple of months to see my progression. Im super excited! Your channel has really helped me since I haven't been in school. in Australia we've been in lockdown, so I haven't been able to attend any of my year nine art classes. Probably the only class I really enjoy at school if i'm being honest. So glad I chose it as an elective. Did you do electives when you were at school? Anyway, Thank you so much for the really helpful video! I really enjoyed it and it gave me lots of ideas for future projects. kind regards, Lucy

Hi KP Thanks for the real good advice in this video. Colors and color mix is something I have good control of! But when it comes to value and proportions, I'm lost. I struggle to be able to see the right tones in the different colors. In terms of proportions, I have started using a divider to help. Your main advice you give in this video is clearly "spend more time on your image / art". I tend to be too much result oriented than to have patience and enjoy the experience of creating an image :) I look forward to your good input hoping to be able to develop these skills. Thanks :)

I recreated my very first pet portrait with pastels. The first one I used the wrong paper (cartridge paper, oh dear) my drawing was good.of a close shot of a tabbie cats face. I just used pastel pencils. I filled up the tooth of the paper so I couldn’t finish the drawing to a stage I wanted. The fur on the nose was too long and the colours look dull. Three years later I did the same picture again to see if I’ve made any improvements. Oh boy I did improve. This time I used Pastel mat paper, pan pastels then pastel pencils. The fur was perfect, very short fur on the nose. The tones of colour show more tabbie greens in it so my colour choices where perfect. The darks were darker and the highlights were brighter. This leally boosted my confidence. I did this last year. 😀 I just wait share.

[@FineArtforChrist]

Kirsty used a black and white charcoal pencil but you could use colored pencils similarly. You just won't be able to blend the same with colored pencils. Hope this is helpful!
