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

  1. Copy Concept Art Daily Log into Concept Art/Concept Art Log/YYYY-MM-DD.md (or use a hotkey/Templater if you have it).
  2. Check off whichever practice tasks apply to that weekday, per Concept Art Study Plan (with Project Time).
  3. Set project_hours in the frontmatter to how many hours (0-3) you did.
  4. Set practice_complete: true once all of that day's required practice items are checked.
  5. For Sat/Sun, set day_type: optional instead of workday — 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), since folder: isn't recursive by default.
