This year started with landscapes, rolled mid-year into 2 family weddings, and finished up with 24+ Inktober ink drawing/paintings (whatever you want to call them) and into November and December with acrylic and gouache paint portraits. So, the past 6 months I've seen some improvements in my work as I've really started to get back into daily drawing and painting. You make time for what's a priority for you. Here's a good TED talk on controlling your free time and using it to get better at something: https://www.ted.com/talks/laura_vanderkam_how_to_gain_control_of_your_free_time
Cheers all!
