First words

Hello everyone,

My name is Melina also known as Mayuu. I'm 18 years old, hobby Media Designer and a young traditional/Digital hobby artist.



I'm not alone of being unknown or have a small range of viewer, fans and supporters. There is not specifically a reason for that. It's mostly because there are tons of other amazing artists who are posting original content almost daily. I do know most new artists want to get into it for getting money with their content. But It's not always that easy. Tips and tricks for getting more viewers are already known to most. But the actual reason why people are watching you is your style. Your style is your signature!







People are going to watch you because they like your drawing ideas with your own design! And as we all know, everyone is going to improve and do not stick all the time to the same style. That's not even bad, but we have to make sure: "what is my kind of style I can stick to it?" And the question: "how can I improve and get used to what I draw?"







Famous artist who are uploading daily are quick at drawing because they are used to it.











Welcome to the "Sketch-A-Day" challenge over 185 days

01. Juley





What is it about? Any artist who wants to be a part of a group with other artist can join. It's about sketching every day! Each day we have to sketch a drawing. We're going to upload the sketches each day on our main platforms. Mostly deviantart Instagram, but there are no limits. 1 sketch = 1 day, mostly an hour of sketching







However, why am I doing this? I want to support the newbies by creating a strong group of inspired people who are motivated to improve,share and support each other. Sketching everyday one piece of Art helps us to get used to our own style, paper, pen or even the graphic tablet.







How to join? Contact me! You can message me on deviantart, on Amino, on instagram, discord and on Tumblr. Send me a message with information about you. Link your website or what you use to share art so I can link your websites for support.









When do we start? It starts on 01.July: straight 185 days long.









Where do we share? There will be a discord server where we share/link our new posts of the daily sketches. We share our sketches on our main platforms too of course. Using the Hashtag

There will be a discord server where we share/link our new posts of the daily sketches. We share our sketches on our main platforms too of course. Using the Hashtag #sketchadaychallenge in the info box and of course the day Counter we have (example: day 25)





How should you start? Grab a pen or your graphic tablet and sketch! Do not stick on to a fully piece of art. It's supposed to be a sketch. You ask why? Because you will lose motivation. 185 days can be long. Of course, starting this challenge is very exciting but it's a dead end if you put a heavy load on yourself at the beginning. Think about: "How much time can I invest at one sketch?"







That way you can develop a style and gain confidence on what you're doing. I can’t tell you not to do it but it’s a well-intentioned tip. You should possible start sketching your OC's. In addition, i'm not talking about just a week.



Try your best to keep a routine. It can be early morning or late night, it's important to be continuous. - picolo-kun You shouldn't do fan arts early on.





Inspiration is missing? We all know that problem. These days where you suck a drawing ans your motivation is equal zero. You can always watch other people’s pictures and sketches to catch up with some good ideas. If you still have no inspiration you can ask in our group chat about new ideas. There are also idea-generators in the internet to get a topic of what you could sketch.
