Art Goals for 2020

rynling(1) Draw fan art for three of my favorite manga.
I think it would be cool to draw the art in the style of the manga. The manga I’d like to do fan art for are: Yotsuba&!, xxxHolic, and Witch Hat Atelier.
(2) Draw illustrations based on three of my favorite books from 2019.
I’d like for this to be an opportunity to do more backgrounds, even if they’re simple. The books I’d like to create illustrations for are Woman World, Gideon the Ninth, and The Memory Police.
(3) Draw one “aesthetic object” every month.
The goal is to expand my range and play with different color palettes. The objects I’d like to draw are:
Jan – Tamagotchi device (guess what I just bought myself)
Feb – tea cup with sweet apple tea
Mar – Nintendo Switch Lite
Apr – sakura Kit-Kats
May – Wind Waker baton
Jun – fūrin wind chime
Jul – pig-shaped Citronella incense burner
Aug – Saria’s ocarina
Sep – terrarium
Oct – Chandelure (a ghost-type Pokémon)
Nov – bioluminescent mushrooms
Dec – mistletoe
(4) Draw one “Ganondorf and flowers” picture every two months.
You’d think I’d be tired of this theme, but my bullshit persists. The pairings of flowers and Ganondorfs (Ganondorves?) I’d like to draw are:
a – Ocarina of Time Ganondorf and sunflowers (ambition)
b – Wind Waker Ganondorf and hyacinths (regret)
c – Twilight Princess Ganondorf and ivy (fidelity)
d – Hyrule Warriors Ganondorf and dahlias (manipulation)
e – Cadence of Hyrule Ganondorf and amaryllis (self-confidence)
f – Rehydrated Ganondorf and lotus flowers (transformation)
(5) Make weekly “The Demon King” comics for Instagram.
I am so excited about this! The goal is to get better at inking and figure out how to put down color quickly. I’m probably going to start off slow as I refine the character designs, but the story has been more or less writing itself.
(6) Actually do Inktober this year??
We will see???? I have a few ideas about what this will entail and how it will happen, but let it suffice to say that there will need to be a lot of prep work. Also, I’m going to do a lot of experimenting with gold ink in advance so that I will be 100% ready to shine when the time comes.
ETA: On the day after I posted this, it was announced that "Inktober" has been registered as someone's intellectual property, so scratch that I guess.
