In order to make pretty things and eventually become a graphic designer, I've started being more serious about practicing relevant skills.

More specifically, I've started taking drawing more seriously. At my job, work heavily depends on what's going on around the station - if nothing's happening, there's simply nothing to make. To fill the downtime with something productive and keep myself from stagnating, I started doing casual drawing gestures. A gesture is a 30-120 second drawing of an action, pose, expression, motion. The idea is to jot down the essentials and then moving on, and I've found I'm becoming more and more steady on anatomy because of it.

I set myself the goal to draw something every day, and reduce time wasted. This one year as a conscript will be the only time in my life where my only responsibility is waking up and going to work so I want to make the best out of it.
