Updated Goals

Here we are, the first of these new posts. I wasn't sure what to write, but I figured out a topic.

The new year has barely started, and I'm mostly keeping up on my goals. With art goals, I started with with just wanting to keep track of my art in hopes of finishing more. What that's meant is just maintaining my work schedule and keeping the list of the open projects. Since I haven't finished anything this hasn't really been tested yet.

This is where the next goal comes in. This is a new addition, because I think goals should always be fluid. It is related though. 

So if you've been following on twitter, I've been working on this project that I've been calling The Path. It's changed quite a bit. I've spent hours undoing work and it's really slowed the actual forward progress. I know that I can be better. I've known this for awhile, it's a tricky part of my process, but for some reason it is really hitting me with this piece.

I spent too much of the work on stuff that really didn't matter. The image doesn't even properly show it, because I didn't even save some of the inbetween. I need to work on it.

So I'm adding to my goals. I want to get better at that. I'm going to have to learn how, and I have a feeling something like thumbnailing may be the answer. I can't visualize, so I figure things out as I put them on screen/paper. Things tend to change as I go. Having a better idea where I am going, in theory should give me a better idea of where I can be faster. Some research will help get me there. 

For the moment I am determined and I am going to use that motivation while I can.

How are your goals going?  Hope you're new year has been good so far, and thanks for reading.   🥰
