Little things I have done recently that have been really good for my art:
1) START A REFERENCE FOLDER
I have aphantasia, and I draw on mobile (aka with my silly shaky fingers) so for me having something to refer back to really helps. But even if you don't have aphantasia, you should REFERENCE, REFERENCE, REFERENCE. I promise professionals do it too! Its a great way to find new poses to try to try and copy, and stop your poses from all being stale or being anatomically incorrectly.
2) START AN "ART I LIKE" FOLDER
It is SO motivating and SO inspiring to have art you like easily on hand! You can reference from it and try and copy it as a personal study: do you prefer yours or theirs? What did you do differently? Why? Saving it means you can come back to it and observe it; what techniques did they use? How could you mimic them? How do they create their intended effect?
3) REDRAW OLD ART
Of course, you shouldn't be doing this constantly, because you need time to draw other things! But it so so so validating and motivating to see how much you have improved. It helps you reflect on what you've changed and why. It also helps you pick up on stuff that still might need improvement ("ah man, that background is worse than I would draw now, but my one now still isn't as good as I'd like. Now I know my backgrounds need work!")
4) DOODLE SHEETS
Oh my god, i never used to do doodle sheets, but they are so much fun. It's a great way to get a load of art in without it being high pressure, and enabling you to focus on your lineart. And you get to be very silly with them, because if you mess up, it's only a small corner of the canvas, and it's not too hard to do it again! Not everything has to be a big super challenging piece. Have some fun.
5) CHALLENGE YOURSELF
That art idea that's too hard for you? Try it. You can always come back to it. You can keep coming back to it over a year if you like. There's no time limit. If you finish it and don't like it, it's not the end of the world. You can always redraw it when you've gotten to a higher skill level. But it's a good way to strengthen your artists muscles and force you to think about how to actually achieve big pieces. And hey, you might absolutely love it and have achieved something really cool! Sometimes art comes out better than you expect and you have to trust the process and you go wow I made this! Just don't ONLY make these or you risk burnout, give yourself time to do little doodles and fun other things as well!
And an obligatory P.S: If these aren't for you currently or at all, you don't have to do them! Art should be fun first and foremost. What works for me might not work for you. Do what makes you happy, no art has ever been improved by the artist being sad while making it. <3
