Hey there!

I hope everyone’s been having fun this month. Sorry for the lack of updates! I’ve been going through some things and I appreciate all the patience you guys have granted me. But enough depressing talk, it’s time for action!

You may be wondering about the title of this blog, or you are just rolling your eyes and hoping desperately that I’ll get to the point already. Either way, let me explain… You see, a new year is coming up fast and I believe it’s time I acted upon the question I always get asked: How do I become a better artist?

Well, my answer is always “practice, study references, get advice on your artwork…” and I think I’ve had just about enough of telling you all the same boring and vaguely helpful answer. Instead, we’re going to embark on a yearlong quest to actually become better artists.

A year may seem like a really horribly awfully long time, but I have faith in you! I know you guys can do this and I know you will all improve. Yep. No question about it.

So, HOW are we going to do this? I’m working on that… Hey, I never claimed to be anything other than a slacker. I’m working on the steps and reviewing tutorials and… well, it’s a lot of work, okay?

I wanted to give you guys a heads up about this so you have time to prepare and decide if this is the year you improve your artwork. This program will be designed for beginners and intermediate artists who want to improve, but even pros can use it to look at their own artwork and think about how they can improve.

The NAL program will start in January, and I will offer a prize to the members who can get the most people to join and participate. There may be many winners and prizes, but for now let’s say there will be a first and second prize. Keep a look out for more information about that coming up next week. The NAL program itself will offer prizes as well- which will not be based on artistic skills, so don’t worry.

Interested? Reply to this so I’ll know.
