This isn't really a 'fun' MEME, but rather one meant to challenge each and every artist to take a long, hard look at themselves! I've been very introspective on this topic lately and thought this might be a way to help myself and others.

Critique from others is only one half of the process of becoming a good artist, the other half is accepting and understanding this critique, then taking the steps to improve yourself!

Consider this like a 'strategic plan' towards making yourself a better artist. It's good to do this at least once a year, if not every moment you're working on an image, in my opinion!

So...will you take the Oath to Improve? I did! You can see the one I made for myself here:

I'm thinking on it but I feel like I'm so varied I'd need to to one for each thing I do... hmm...

I know that sort of feeling. I'd say this was geared more towards 2D visual art, if that helps narrow it down? Though I'm sure you could apply it to many things!

Really I do think you could apply it to several different schools of art. I can see it's application for photography easily.

Go for it! I would love to see how other artists take on this self-challenge.:) I'd say 'have fun', but by gah it was brutal when I did it. XD I have to say I learned a lot just going through the process of having to choose what example images to use. I hope it's useful to you and others!

It's been back to anatomy and fashion studies for me! Feels good to get back to the basics. I really miss going to life study classes and chilling in the library looking at fashion plates.
