Monthly Theme

Hello again, everyone!
Wow, 2 updates so far this week. I’m n a roll. :D

I just wanted to explain what I meant in my last journal when I mentioned I wanted a theme.
What I meant was that I wanted to do something where I draw and submit one pic a day for a whole month. The month would have an overall theme. Something like Bronze/Iron Artist or whatever, you know?

Anywho, I figured out what I’m going to do: Music. This year is gonna be all about music.
Here’s how the process works:

At the end of each month (on the Sunday before the first day of the next month), I’m going to post a specific genre of music. You guys leave comments on the journal with the song you want me to use and I will choose 5. I will draw and post something to each of those songs every day, Monday thru Friday.
Saturdays, I’ll post a comic or some other personal work. Sundays, I’ll choose one of the sketches I did throughout the week, turn it into a line art and color it.

What’s the theme for this month? Well, since it’s already the second week of January, I’ll let you guys just put down any song from any genre. Only genres I will NOT accept are: Country, Gospel or Rap. Otherwise, go nuts! If you guys have a specific idea you wanna see in the pic (that relates to the song you requested in some way), then go ahead and add that as well.

I’m doing this to help improve my Art. I figure that, if I give myself a deadline or something, I’ll get things done and I’ll finally get somewhere with my Art.

Another thing I’d like to clear up is the fact that I… I don’t know how long good pieces of Art are supposed to take. I’m used to my sketches taking anywhere from 10-20 minutes, traditionally. Digitally, a sketch takes 30 minutes. Then, for me to clean up that sketch and color it would be another hour and a half.
I’m guessing it takes much longer to create something as good as [any of the pieces you find in my Favorites]. If so, I might need to learn a bit of patience as well. I want to be as good as the Artists I admire and that give me inspiration.

Anywho.. I'll be posting another journal for Song Doodle Requests on Sunday, so keep an eye out! Otherwise, that's all for now. Until next time, l8r!
