Hey everyone,

Welcome to 2018, I'm glad to see quite a few new people streaking daily. I've updated the site a bit with the new year. Here's quick rundown of updates:

• More pages work on mobile web. You can browse most pages, comment, and submit to streaks from your phone. If you have Android, try pinning the site to your homescreen with chrome to get a nice app-like experience
• The janky text editor has been replaced with a much simpler markdown editor. I think rich text editors are more trouble than they're worth, here's a markdown tutorial
• I've added some more prompts to start discussion. I think streak club works better when people are commenting and talking. On the streak page there's a new "ask a question" button to encourage more people to post in the discussion board. Additionally, anytime you like something there's a new little popup asking you to leave a comment. Hopefully those two things get people talking more. If you have more ideas I'd love to hear them

Now on to the new year. What are your goals for this year? How has your last year been? I see quite a few familiar faces still holding some impressive streaks. Anyway, how's it going?

It's been good submitting to the streak for the last year, it's nice to have something I'm committed to work on consistently. I had aimed to make it a full year which I've passed, onwards to 2 years now. I have some vague art goals to work on, but mostly it's just keep at it.

I can see some areas in my art I've improved with over the year, but a bigger benefit I think has been becoming much more comfortable and confident to just pick up a pen and draw. Less often I have to force myself to draw and more often I'm pretty happy with the result.

Awesome to see some people in the Daily Streak right now and all the updates on the site are much appreciated. =)

My own personal goal for 2018 regarding art is just that I want to keep doing it. Right now having a phase where I'm programming so much that I'm not really in the mood to do some art, but I'm sure that will change again soon. Art has become such a wonderful part of my life that I don't really know how I spent my life before.

Hi everyone

I only discovered the site 12 days ago when @talecrafter posted a link to it on twitter.

My first goal is to post daily. I doodle all the time so in a way it is just a matter of forcing myself to post something no matter how simple or crappy I think it is. (I am already behind again, but will catch up tonight)

My goal for 2018 is to get better at composition and to draw environments and situations instead of cartoony characters with big heads in the same 2-3 static poses over and over again.

I also hope to improve my line work, because I have a tendency to go fast and sloppy.

I will be switching between traditional pen and paper, digital painting and retro pixel art.

Hey, thanks for the email remainder! I had forgotten about this site, I’m glad it’s still alive! It’s nice to see familiar faces and so many new people.

I will try to resurrect my own streaks, I’ve been pretty sloppy lately. :x

Thanks for your work on the site leafo!
