Hi MIa! I noticed you didn’t have your usual intro… is that a new change for 2024? After taking a couple years off from learning new drawing skills (I mainly used drawing/painting for grief therapy), I decided to get back into it in 2024. I made a year’s ‘program’ with monthly focuses, starting with gesture drawing in Jan. I can’t remember when I’ll be focusing on portraits, but it’s in the beginning of the year, maybe Feb or Mar. So I may be drawing along with you! I’ve never done the 100 heads challenge but I may do it.

Hi, RH! I think I've had my intro for a couple years and I'm quite bored with it. I want something new, simple and shorter. I figured I would just shorten the intro for now until I get something new.

I think it's good that you developed your own program! There are so many things I want to learn but it can get overwhelming at times trying to learn them all. In my next video I was planning on talking about weekly and and monthly goals instead of yearly goals. I've been thinking about taking a gesture drawing class too. I would like to try urban sketching this year and having people in the scene has always made me nervous because people move around a lot. I shall see how that goes!

@@MiasSketchbook I know what you mean -- I also want to learn many things. I can’t see myself doing just one thing, like how some people only do portraits or only botanicals or only landscape. I’m least interested in abstract art but sometimes I feel like I’m warming up to it! My ‘program’ is a bit ambitious but it has a structure that I need/want. Only time will tell if I’m disciplined enough to complete it! 😝 Looking forward to listening to your thoughts/ideas/plans in your next video…. and wishing you a productive and creative year!
