Notes
Concept Art Tracker
Reads daily logs from the Concept Art/Concept Art Log/ folder (one note per day, made from Concept Art Daily Log template) and charts them. Requires the Tracker community plugin (Settings → Community plugins → Browse → search "Tracker" by pyrochlore → Install & Enable).
How to log a day
- Copy Concept Art Daily Log into
Concept Art/Concept Art Log/YYYY-MM-DD.md(or use a hotkey/Templater if you have it). - Check off whichever practice tasks apply to that weekday, per Concept Art Study Plan (with Project Time).
- Set
project_hoursin the frontmatter to how many hours (0-3) you did. - Set
practice_complete: trueonce all of that day's required practice items are checked. - For Sat/Sun, set
day_type: optionalinstead ofworkday— these days are never required, log them only if you actually did something.

Notes
- Weekend entries (
day_type: optional) still show up on the graphs (so you can see bonus work), but nothing here treats them as required — that logic lives only in the study plan, not the tracker. - If the charts render empty, double-check the Tracker plugin is enabled and that logs live directly inside
Concept Art/Concept Art Log/(not a further subfolder), sincefolder:isn't recursive by default.
