Day 7 & 8

Hey guys, I did a 14 hour day of client work yesterday so I wasn't be able to finish a study a day as per usual.  I did 2 studies today to make up for it :D I also did a workout in the morning following the routine.

Day 6

Hey guys, here is today's study.  It took about 3 hours and it will be the last frog study for a while.  The frogs were a lot of fun and I learnt a lot about frog textures.  Doing all the different colours was fun too :D Didn't do a workout today but I'll try and do a small one before bed.  However, I did walk a lot today so maybe that sort of counts...

Day 5

Another frog.  This one didn't turn out so great but it only took 2 hours which is good.  I'm getting faster :P The workout today  was a killer, here is a link for anyone who is interested (http://www.bodyrock.tv/2011/11/28/it-will-rain-sweat-1000-rep-workout/).  I was sweating my ass off but other than that, today has been good so far.  Looking forward to posting tomorrow.

Day 4

IT'S A FROG :)
Hey guys, here is the one hour study which ended up being 4 hours :(
Seeing as it took so long, I wasn't able to finish the helmet I was doing yesterday.  Hopefully I'll have time to finish it off tomorrow.  I woke up really late today because I was up all night finishing work which sucked, but I still did my workout so I'm proud :)

Day 3

I didn't do so great on the study front today.  I spent roughly 6 hours trying to finish a helmet study but I've decided to continue it tomorrow as I ran out of time today.  Here is what I have done so far.  I'll do an extra  quick study tomorrow to make up for today.  It's just that with everything I have to do today, I only had 6 hours to study which was unfortunate.  Sunday is the off-day for the workout, so maybe I should've started on a Monday.

Day 2

Here's my study for today- it took me about 3 and a half hours, I didn't zooming in at all.  I also started doing my new workout routine and it went well today.  All in all, a great second day for the deathline.

Here's a link to the workout routine (http://www.bodyrock.tv/2010/11/29/mission-abs-possible/) I did today and maybe later on I'll start posting up my rep scores.

Day 1 of The Deathline Challenge

Here is the process for the pirate study I did, and also the start of my first day for the deathline study (it would actually be my 31st day but since I haven't catalogued it on this blog yet, I thought it would just be better to start from today).

If anyone hasn't heard of the deathline challenge, I recommend you to go to this link and read all about it: http://danwarrenart.blogspot.com/2011/11/crimson-daggers-deathline-challenge.html

I have decided on my goals for the deathline and I will be posting it here as well as my day to day progress following the inspirational lead of Alex Negrea who was the one who gave me the idea to post my progress onto my blog.  Here is the blog entry that inspired me: http://alexnegrea.blogspot.com/2011/11/day-one-deathline-here-i-go.html

You guys should check it out and follow his progres.  He is a great guy with great work.

My goals:

1. Finish a study a day, and also incorporate the things I've learnt into my personal work, so that I can build up my mental library.  By doing so, I wouldn't have to depend so much on photos and other reference materials while doing client work and day to day things.

2. Finish at least 3 personal pieces a month with the ultimate goal of applying to Magic: The Gathering which is basically my dream job at the moment and also the reason why I got into art in the first place.

3. Eat healthy and maintain a constant workout routine to stay healthy.

I look forward to beginning the deathline and will give my everything to ensure my goals become a reality in the coming year.
