My Personal Art Curriculum
Hello dear fellow artists! As previously promised, here is my self-made art curriculum.
This is a list of all the things I want to study and improve on. I have these in the order that I wanted to learn them. I only focused on each for around 1 week. (Sometimes I extended it if I knew that I was busy that week and didn’t have time to practice.) I plan to go through the list again after completing it, seeing where I should focus on to improve further.
You can add or subtract to this list or rearrange it to your needs. I compiled it from watching different art youtubers and figuring out what I should learn and what I want to learn. I will share some of my favourite art youtubers in a later blog.
