New Year's Resolutions (for 2013)

Hey everyone..

Now, I haven't done the whole "New Year's Resolution(s)" thing since I was in Elementary School. Why? 'Cause I think it's pointless. That and the fact that I never really had anything. Also because I haven't ever set a goal for myself in all those years.
Well, after everything that happened in 2012, things are different. I now have a goal and there are a couple of things I need to do in order to reach that goal.

What is that goal? It's to become a Cartoonist/Comic Artist. I want to be known for what I do. I want my stuff out there. It's no longer enough for me just to doodle while my friends look over my shoulder or to post them on sites like this. I want to become like all the Artists out there that I admire and that give me inspiration.

So, what are my New Year's Resolutions? Well, let me tell you:
My first New Year's Resolution is to go to the gym daily. This is required with my current job. I need to keep fit. Plus, I now have some roundness in my belly that I believe is quite noticeable and it makes me feel fat. :S I have never liked the way I looked. But I realize I'm not going to feel any better about myself if I sit around, do nothing and continue to let myself go. It's time to work off all the weight I gained over the Holiday (thanks to you, Iggy). I haven't exactly set a goal as to where I want to be by the end of the year.. But I hope to at least get my flat 4-pack stomach back.
My second New Year's Resolution is to draw. I realize that my Art is going nowhere. This is because I'm not drawing like I used to. I just keep putting things off. I'm never going to make it as a Cartoonist that way. Another thing is that I have to branch out as well. I need to experiment with my Art. I want to learn how to ink and color [properly]. I want to learn how to use different programs, how to use layers and how to use the different brushes available to my advantage. I want to be much better than I am right now. I want to be proud of my work. Which I currently am not.

For my first New Year's Resolution, I have my best friends (IRL) Iggy and Makai to help me. I've already asked them to make sure that I stick to it this year. I know I can count on them.
As for my second… I'm gonna need your help. Your encouragement, help and support is well appreciated as always. But this year, I'm gonna need some pushing. I've already got Dalon and Zoa helping me out with ideas and such-.. I'm starting to lose my concentration here.
I was supposed to have started a "Sketch a Day" kind of thing starting this month, but I haven't started. I guess I need an idea. A theme. Last year, I had a bunch of monthly themes. But I was too depressed to draw. I'm much better now and I feel I can take on the task. But… maybe something light..? Go easy on me! It's been a while. ><;
So… what do you say? Can you guys help me out this year? Let me know what you think.
Oh… and once again: Happy New Year.
