Hi! These are super cute for sure omg!!!

One drawing per day for a new years resolution is super tough. I actually did the same myself in 2018 (I've got like 8 sketchbooks filled up ), it's very taxing especially if you were busy the entire day, or at worst wake up startled at 3am remembering that you forgot to draw for the day ^^; looking back now, I would more recommend one drawing per week, and to have a scrap sketchbook to draft poses, ideas and get anatomy down before drawing in your main sketchbook ♡

As for digital art why dont you put drawings you've done into a digital canvas and just start from there? Itll be great practice to get you accustomed to art programs ^^

ahhh thank you for the advice haha. yeah, one drawing a week seems a lot more doable especially since I currently work full time (I'm an engineering student on an internship right now haha >_<)

I should actualy get a sketchbook, lol! I'm using an old grid notebook I have... so the front pages are all graphs I drew for unrelated classes awhile ago.

I tried importing a sketch into Corel Painter to get used to it and the tools all feel super unfamiliar to me, haha. I've been trying to work at it during weekends (since during weekdays I'm usually on my work laptop which doesn't have any art stuff >_<

Is there any specific program that you'd maybe recommend though? I see a lot of people use SAI or ClipStudio Paint (I think?) and I've been trying to look at tutorials for Painter in my free time. ^^;;

I tend to use paint tool Sai for the computer yeah ^^ At first I would try following tutorials on people drawing, and after a while you can then start on putting your style in by setting up custom brushes etc. If you have a decent phone though I would also try drawing on that too, you'd just need one of those cheap touch screen pens to get started (great way to draw more naturally if you dont have a graphics tablet yet). I use the app medibang paint for the phone~

ahhhh tysm I think I've just on a bit of a frenzy cos I started recently and I'm super excited but mostly because work has been really slow (legit I've nothing to do for the next week or so since I'm waiting on one of the other engineers to do some background stuff so I can get setup and start doing things)

so I'll be trying to draw more >_< and yesss I really like pastels so I wanna use them everywhere hehe
