Dailies are now “Experiments”
I’m finally resuming my Dailies project, but now they are going to be called “Experiments“ or “Experimental Projects”. Differences I do not have to...
Dailies
Create a piece of creative work every day, from start to finish, and publish it, no matter how good or bad it is. Improve (or get worse) at art. Fight against perfectionism. Do not take things seriously.
Finished not Perfect. See rules.
Did I break my Dailies 150 days streak?
It’s on purpose, I’m rethinking how I should go on from now on, as I stated in my video about the first 150 days (in Portuguese, tho). Basically, I...
