…so you can guess what I’ve been doing lately… :) In actual fact I did most of this several weeks ago and it’s absolutely horrifying and every time I look at it I do in fact get stressed out. So I added up the wordcount, which… well, it’s 420K before the Heartstrike books, and having just come off a 450k year, I know I can pull off 420K. The goal is to do so in a less stressful manner than last year, and the structure for doing that is to…
Oooh… For the next part of this project, I’m supposed to do at least 20 of these little upper body trapezoid figures & the instructor would love it if we did 100-200, & honestly having done, um, 5 so far, it’s gonna take 20+ to stop having to refer back to the lesson to remember it right, I think.

I’ve definitely improved on proportions and perspective, and I think I’ve also improved in my ability to see what I’m doing wrong, although the ability to then do it correctly seems to be lagging behind that awareness somewhat.…
I’ve realized that I’ve got two goals which are arguably antithetical to one another. :p Goal One, which has been in the forefront of my mind, is that I want to do my silly little web comic, which even I recognize I was good enough to DO before I started this 100 Hours project, even if I didn’t feel I was good ENOUGH by my own standards. But I’ve now drawn enough again that I feel like, ok, I probably CAN do it. Unfortunately, what I’ve realized is I also…
