The importance to have a challenges.

Goodnight guys!

For this post I would like to talk about a very important topic, I mean "having challenges". It does not matter if you are a writer, chef, musician, or even a student, it is the foundation of setting challenges, small tasks that we propose to perform to overcome an obstacle and be better. It is to base working on personal projects, things that we like and that allow us to continue developing our creative side.

In my particular case, as an illustrator one of the challenges that motivate me is the so-called "challenge 52". It is about making a digital illustration per week, generating a total of 52 illustrations. So far I have 6 illustrations made. I know, I could have more illustrations, however the most important thing is to set a challenge and fight to achieve it. No matter what happened yesterday or if you have failed a few times, the important thing is to determine today to resume that purpose.

This challenge 52 was not a personal invention, in fact it is a practice created by the Spanish illustrator Marca Raya Delgado. In fact, if you have curiosity you can see part of his work at www.dibujarbien.com (all his material is in Spanish).

The importance of having challenges is based on the premise of leaving the comfort zone, of allowing yourself to train day by day in a specific area. It could be, make a daily sketch, for example. There is another challenge that is to draw 10 heads daily for 10 days, generating a total of 100 sketches in a short time. The challenges are many and it is up to us to select which one we would like to use to allow ourselves to be better.

I invite you to select a challenge in your own lives, no matter if they are small tasks, the most important thing is perseverance and coherence.

I hope to continue showing more of my work and inspire each other.
Good night everybody!
