day 223: wanted to try some portraits cause im never happy with my heads and thought some practicing of them would help. while im not 100% satisfied, thinking back to my first ever portrait attempt i can def tell theres a huge jump and that fills me with confidence

day 222: SHADOW WIZARD REM GANG we love casting pillows #art #illustration #deadlock #rem

day 221: almost finished ill get the little helper done tmrw. so far looking quite nice but also for some reason like its done in ms paint? idk lol

day 220: finally finished the lineart and starting to dabble with color? just going off what ive seen from others i think this is how to do it? honestly not sure just kinda winging it but also not wanting to put too much into color? idk just messing around for now

day 219: wasnt feeling drawing today it was just too busy but told myself to set a timer for 20 minutes and just draw and thats what i did. worked on controlling lines with a brush pen, circles, boxes, and line accuracy. may not seem like much but its 20 minutes more than what i was gonna do today

day 218: at the point where i can just show the lineart for this i think. honestly kinda just want to finish this its been taking too long and id like to move onto other things. still learned a lot from this but yeah

day 217: giving this lineart another try. found a brush i actually am liking but not sure if i want to go in the direction of having more or less line weight guess well see but this brush has no pressure curve. liking it more than the default gpen i was using

day 216: still cleaning this up wish i got further but almost there. also need to look up some references for cloth still but atleast got some parts fixed that i wasnt happy about

day 215: went back to the drawing board a bit to clean up this sketch. honestly its looking even better than i thought. just spent like an hour and a half it was almost therapeutic doing this. not quite finished tho

day 214: starting to pick away at lining this and not sure how i feel about it. i will say it looks better than when i was first starting but im having that problem of the sketch looking better than the lineart

i also drew a lemon cause bell told me to

day 213: finally working on a full start to finish piece and my god this little fucking gremlin is so fun to draw. sketch looking awesome just have to figure out how to do lineart on digital...

day 212: did some doodling while at panera. the next thing i want to work on is a rem piece so i was trying to figure out how to draw him and take some notes. just gotta squish that head more

day 211: not really drawing i guess but more studying? found 3d models of some of the zzz characters and started drawing ontop of them. just trying to learn the proportions used a bit more accurately than i was able to before. gonna keep this file going and use it for ref tho

todays one of those days i want to draw but also dont at the same time. i have two wolves inside me type shit

day 210: wasnt planning on doing anything but really wanted to mess around with this tablet more. its really been making me want to draw more. worked on some basic shapes and this is becoming more natural each time. main thing is being aware of how far my pen is from the tablet without looking down

day 209: literally just went through a whole drawabox exercise. found drawing lines vertically and keeping them somewhat straight was almost impossible, but also realized i can rotate the page so did that instead and it god way more consistent. feeling more and more comfortable with these

day 208: more just simple practice feels like im getting more confident but also intimidated. found having my tablet at an angle helps quite a bit which is exactly opposite what i thought i would like.

day 207: just a bunch of practice. did circles, 3d shapes and started tracing a piece (artist: miovartz) trying to get better with line control. i can tell im getting a bit more comfortable with it, but MAN im staring up that mountain and its just looking massive #art #illustration

they just removed dim background on the other app and that may be my cue to just use this app fully. lights out is so goddamn ugly

day 206: second day learning digital it feels a lot more natural than yesterday thats for sure. also figured out why the pressure was so weird yesterday its cause the page size was really small #art #illustration

day 205: feel like i could make a clickbait yt vid on this "TRADITIONAL ARTIST TRIES DIGITAL FOR THE FIRST TIME WOAHHHH" but man this shits weird. this is gonna take quite a few days of circles and lines to figure out. but day 1 of digital art is done #art #illustration

day 204: did some more gesture in 1 and 2 minutes. able to get everything on the page but not quite sure where to go once its all down. so im rushing 1 minute and 2 minute im finishing with a lot of time left and not sure what else to really do from there. want to add some wrapping lines next time

day 203: putting in more work #art #illustration

day 202: tried proper gesture drawings that were timed this time and my god i dont understand it lmao. first two were 1 minute and second two were 2 minute and im struggling to even get everything on the page letalone focus on proportion or god forbid foreshortening.

day 201: idk kinda forced myself to do anything today. works been just throwing me in the wringer the last week so my energy has just been not there. also think i need to rethink how i start my sketches cause my heads are so goddamn big all the fucking time and im not sure why

day 200: damn... its day 200... and im drawing tiddies... swear that wasnt planned. but taking the first steps in understanding their construction. will say i havent done much for bodies recently but these came out surprisingly well. thank you linessensei for the lecture video #art #illustration

day 199: been a few days honestly wasnt gonna do anything today but wanted to put in a bit of time. did some studies on eyes from cremanata_art and used some real life references to just understand the simplifications. feeling pretty good about it but think its time to move on to another subject...

gonna be a bit lacking for a few days works really ramping up. got a big project were working on and its taking a lot out mentally and physically

day 198: been looking forward to this all day tbh its all i could think about. did a couple angles of a 3d model and it really helped understand my confusions. was going to do more but ran out of steam. hoping to do more tmrw

day 197: not much for today. had a realization on eyes at work. was confusing the wing tip as part of the eye and have been trying to draw it as a part of the upper lid instead of looking at it as its own piece. want to experiment a bit more with it though. studied artists renditions to confirm this

day 196: some more practice for today. was gonna do more then spent 6 hours playing minecraft with the homies. trying a new head angle think it came out pretty good but man it was hard. also realized i have no idea how to draw mouths LMAO

day 195: started with hands then went and drew some pics i found from bookmarks/pinterest. always feel like im needing work on heads and looking at how others do them seems to be how i understand them more. would like to do more like this and figure out how i want to stylize features

day 194: todays hand practice. really really like how these came out. getting better with actually observing what im looking at and breaking it down. #art #illustration

day 193: working on hands think ill stick with this topic for a bit more. they look decent but next time i need to work on fingers and the proportions between joints and in comparison to the base of the hand

day 192: finished drawing @bellwethyr.bsky.social really love her model and was the perfect thing to draw next. a few things i wouldve done differently but really happy with this one #art #illustration

day 191: working on this started a couple days ago probably finishing it tmrw #art #illustration

day 190: lifes been busy this week finally had proper time to sit down even for a little bit and went through some of a video ive been meaning to watch on shoulders. they were really confusing me and it also answered some other questions i was having in the process.

day 189: started doodling at work again but had time at home to keep going. was trying to figure out how i wanted to represent the pelvis (again) and this underwear shape one seems to make sense. just gotta remember to draw JUST the pelvis instead of including part of the stomach aswell

Day 188: not much just some drawings in my pocket book at work from point character drawing for today

day 187: some practice from yesterday on eyes wanting to figure out both how i want to stylize them and also how to draw them at different angles. making more sense than it did before and theyre kinda fun. also got my first drawing books!

day 186: more practice with ribbons but i instead started doing them in hair shapes. these are sections from artists i like the style of trying to understand both ribbons and hair shape/randomness. specifying these arent my own designs but still very helpful to understand

day 185: just a bit of a dump of practice. sunday i did some 3d form and today was ribbons. the ribbons have been fun to play around with trying to understand them a bit more. gonna take a couple sessions with these to help out my hair drawing and planning :) #art

day 184: finally finished with the first finished piece of 2026! despite not knowing anything about backgrounds im pretty happy how this one came out. but god backgrounds suck LMAO. cinderella gray made me really love white lightning #art #illustration #umamusume #tamanocross

day 183: not quite finished but tamano cross coming out really damn good. still have some detailing to finish and then figure out my first background #art #illustration #umamusume

day 182: more progress on this piece. decided to do tamano cross it felt fitting for her character. parts im really happy with and others are just confusing. but this is definitely one of the hardest drawings ive done so far. #art #drawing #illustration

day 181: working on a new WIP this time with a background! hard to see it in the pic but found a good reference that made me wanna try it. still dont know who itll be yet tho but got the base down atleast #art #drawing

day 180: i cooked today with these ones. its starting to click a lot more now and im just having a lot of fun! #art

also gonna start throwing # art on my posts seems to boost interactions so might as well :D

day 179: just still going on hands. wasnt gonna do any today but really had the urge to do some. getting better but still some things that arent clicking yet #art
