Seeking dedication

Hello there :)

The point of this blog is to be a platform where I will upload any art I make and I really mean ANY. The sort of stuff I upload to deviantart are finished artworks or, once in a blue moon, WIPs. I also sketch and make other stuff that's also digital but has nothing to do with illustration (banners, userbars...). I will be uploading here all that kind of images. That is to say, whoever sticks to this blog will see ALL my art production and not only the illustration coloured stuff.

Why would I do that?
To realise I actually need to put some more dedication on my art career (even if a hobby) and keeping a blog will help me to make even my drafts look good. Up till now dA and your support have helped me to keep drawing and getting better but I've noticed I'm doing little progress even though I spend a lot of time on art (not only making it but also sketching, looking for references, ideas, commenting on other artist's pieces, etc).

I need a bigger commitment and I'm positive I'll achieve my goal through this blog (it's not like it'll do the magic but will help me organize me better and make a better use of my spare time).


When will you upload stuff?
I suggest anyone who decides to follow me to have a look to this blog once a day. I plan to submit a lot. Most of it will be crap (imo) but you know the drill, practice makes perfect.


Anyway, that's all. Thanks to everyone who decides to support me here <3.

I love you all
