Collaborations and trades and personal projects in progress

LIST ON HOOOLD!! :iconrageguyplz:

I always upload random stuff in between as well, these are more guidelines for myself so that I won't forget certain projects I want to do or for people I work with to keep track of where I am with my part. If the project is on here it means that I am continuously working on it. Usually once it reaches the 3rd green ball it is in full speed and won't take long anymore! Just bear in mind that I work at my own pace and take time to do stuff because I want to do it right and put great effort in all of my works.

Gallery crap factory (Skill improvement question)

Journal Entry: Sun May 19, 2013, 9:40 AM
Do you like it when artists post a lot of things, even when the quality is not always super good?

Let me explain; There are so many ideas in my head, so much stuff I want to draw, I want to improve so much in my art still as well and I am not even halfway of where I want to be.

Sometimes I take weeks for a single artwork and in the end I will be happy with it but I feel the improvements go way too slow. The works take so much time and I hardly draw other stuff in the meantime.

So here is my question: Do you think it would help me if I would sketch more, doodle more, draw more random things, just fast stuff, quickies, stuff that doesn't take that much time and would be qualitatively below average? Are you of the opinion that doing drawings and stuff in larger numbers could help improve your skills so much more than just only spending long periods on one single big artwork?

You guys get what I mean? Also, if I would do more doodles and stuff, random pieces that will be half finished and what not, would you like seeing those in my gallery? If I would do this my upload number would increase a lot I think and in time I will be getting better not only because of taking my time with larger pieces but also by crapping out lower quality goods which I would use to experiment with brushes and such.

You peeps think that's a wise idea?
