spent suuuch a long time experimenting with vectors and a slightly different brush...

i tried to glorify this practice by writing the date all fancy but honestly ........ this is just so funny to me 😭 we'll see how it goes next time...

gotta make a new brush and train on it- if i do comics and animation... my pretty textured brush isn't gonna cut it- 😭😭😭😭

why do i always spend so much time coloring and adding details when i want nothing but to draw something simple? you all know how messy my sketching is... i'm very in awe of those who can just... draw... 🥲 i can't do that yet... and i also wonder if i'll ever be able to go beyond making grids...

omg... i'm better at this! but still- a lot of room to improve... (i'm restarting this type of practice now that i finished live figure drawing. i think it really helps and it's fun because it's so hard haha)

💙

wait- i think i really like vector layers!! when i use no anti-aliasing, the lines come out really fast and it's super easy to erase... and clean!

i'm in heaven. open.spotify.com/playlist/69k...

something that makes me REALLY happy is when i discover new music i REALLY like 🤤🤩

yesterday's lazy studies... 😵

i forgot to post! this was the last drawing of figure drawing classes. that class is over now, lol. i think regular sessions will start in february so that'll be fun! i found live figure drawing really relaxing. i was nervous at first- but everyone praised me a lot 😭 it was super fun!!!

I'M DONE WITH ANATOMY!!! for now!!!!! after 2 months!!!!

また変な物入れられてる

the last day, was it day 13 out of 13? yeah, so... i actually gave up on this. i think difficult head angles are always meant to be difficult- so i just came to the conclusion that drawing angles like this well just means being VERY careful of basically everything...

lmao- more random studies 😭

perspective is like... going from algebra to calculus or something...

i want to keep redrawing that walk cycle until i can finally get it right 🤔 i also impulsively bought new RAM for my computer, so i have some DIY when i get home...

i'm so happy that p-san got to watch the musical 😭 finally... that makes me so happy 😭

i'm testing out animation... this is so cute!!

this is so interesting!!!!

there's a pharmacist at my hospital that reminds me of loid, he's as tall as loid, and sounds like loid, but don't tell anyone okay-

i think my issue with drawing heads, this whole time, might have been my understanding of how narrow the skull/head is?! like i always draw the head too wide, maybe? it was only today that i realized how narrow a realistic head actually is...

day 12 of 13... height, proportion, hair, expressions... a little of a lazier one (and now second to last bc i'm ready to be done haha) i put all my effort into studying height and proportion. i always struggled with drawing kids and i think i know why after this. LOL ahhh they're so cute!!

i also wanted to improve my anya-drawing skills...

okay- mission success!! there was so much i observed!!

studying height and proportions...

i really enjoyed drawing the sketch~

sooooooo lovely!! 🥰

omg... i'm reading loomis's creative illustration book and i'm so shocked. i mean, it's very direct. i like it a lot.. i feel like in the past, a lot of these words went over my head but i'm getting it now. it's amazing- loomis says you can't get anywhere without perspective, things like that-

open.spotify.com/track/1fL5tg... the lyrics to this song are exactly how i feel... gosh, it's scary...

this is the second to last week, so this is part 1 of the final drawing 🥲 wow, it's really been 2 months... my classmates think i'm the best LOL... one of the girls take a photo of mine each day and they all tell me i'm incredible 😭 oh please-

figure drawing start!!!

the lady who gave me the flu shot poked me waaay too high, so it hurts 🥲... darn...

i guess you can call this my first... face... value... study? practice...? hmm...

i think my last painting was too dark 😭😢

figure drawing today is either going to go really good (because i'm determined to do good) or really bad because i didn't sleep at all- 😵

every time i see my old drawings, i audibly scream HFJSJ

hmm... i've always struggled with shading characters in dark lighting but making it look appealing... i always forget what the secret is. you put details in the shadows and leave highlights empty....? focus on values? maybe it's relative colors actually- or...

🎃

okay- plan: gonna finish up on the things i wanted to touch on with my anatomy practice and tie it up with a pretty bow- figure drawing class will end- then i want to go back to croquis with a pen...! (i'll figure out where to take more classes again, too)

all of my coworkers dressed as the 101 dalmatians and even a doctor participated... but they're not allowed to post it to social media haha...! so cute 😭

today i became very interested in animation 😳

ちびボンド ほとんど見えなくなっちゃうのでお披露目

day 12 of 15! hands and feet, but mostly hands- whew... almost there...

day 11 of 15! i ALWAYS struggle with the neck/head connection and the jaw, so this was targeted practice/studying on that area specifically (+ the drafting) and it was very helpful! after hands/feet today, i'll be done with the human body! the rest is just variation and difficult head angles-

🤔😭
