Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions:
So, I finally decided to tackle this “angel 24” thing. I’d seen it floating around online, and it looked kinda cool, but I wasn’t really sure what it was all about. It’s basically like, a personal challenge, I guess? You pick something you wanna work on and, like, really focus on it.
First, I had to figure out what I even wanted to do. I mean, “angel 24” is super vague. I thought about learning a new song on my guitar, but that felt kinda…small. Then I considered trying to finally organize my closet, but…nah. Too boring. I wanted something that felt like a real accomplishment.
My Big Idea
Then it hit me: I’ve always wanted to draw better. I’m terrible at it, like, stick-figure-level bad. So, I decided my “angel 24” would be all about improving my drawing skills. Specifically of human.
The Grind
I started by, you know, Googling “how to draw better.” There’s, like, a million tutorials out there. It was kinda overwhelming. I picked one that looked pretty simple and just started following along. It was mostly about basic shapes and proportions, which, honestly, I didn’t even know were a thing.
- Day 1-3: Total disaster. My circles looked like potatoes, and my lines were all wobbly. I almost gave up, like, five times.
- Day 4-7: I started to get the hang of the basic shapes. It still looked pretty rough, but I could see some improvement. I used a pencil – a regular, number 2 pencil, nothing fancy.
- Day 7-14: So after I draw something for a while, then erase it, I’m drawing it all the time.
- Day 15-24: I feel like I’ve really improved. It’s much easier to draw now.
I found that erasing and redrawing was a big part of it. I’d mess up, erase, and try again. It was frustrating, but it definitely helped.
The Result
It’s not perfect, obviously. I’m not gonna be selling my art anytime soon. But, I can actually draw a person now that looks kinda like a person! That’s a HUGE win for me. And the whole “angel 24” thing? I think I get it now. It’s not about being perfect, it’s about, like, pushing yourself to actually do something, and seeing how far you can go. I’m pretty stoked I did it.
