Day 51 of sharing my daily art progress. Made the jump back into figure drawing today with multiple 5 minute sketches. There is just so much going on with getting all the various shapes and proportions right, hard not to overthink it. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #learningtodraw

Day 50 of sharing my daily art progress. Some digital portraits, trying out various things. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #digitalart

Day 49 of sharing my daily art progress. On the move today but found some time to sit down at a café and draw some portraits #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #dailydrawing

Day 48 of sharing my daily art progress. I finished my sheet of value studies! Moving on to more interesting shapes for the next one. It was a super fun exercise - really recommend it if you're looking for something a bit more structured for practice. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 47 of sharing my daily art progress. Continuing work on my sheet with value studies. #art #artprogress #dailydrawing #artistsonbluesky

Day 46 of sharing my daily art progress. Continued with the value studies but also found some time to return to some portraits with alcohol markers. Drawing these today really felt a lot easier than 46 days ago, so all the practice seems to be doing something. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 45 of sharing my daily art progress. I'm really enjoying these black and white studies - not only do they make you think about.. values (duh) but it's good to come back to shapes and perspective. Will fill out the rest of the sheet throughout the week #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 44 of sharing my daily art progress. Some simple pencil portraits today. More value studies for tomorrow! #art #learningtodraw #artprogress #artistsonbluesky

Day 43 of sharing my daily art progress. Started working on some simple black / white value studies of primitive forms. Painting with just a hard square brush, no opacity or pen thickness control is quite something to get used to. #art #artistsonbluesky #digitalart

Day 42 of sharing my daily art progress. I was trying to draw more figures today but noticed the proportions, especially in the legs were completely off. So I went to study with the Morpho "Simplified forms" book and drew a few pages of legs. #art #artprogress #learningtodraw #artistsonbluesky

Day 41 of sharing my daily #art progress. Drawing from imagination after yesterday's study. Trying to consistently draw the same character from different angles or with different emotions which is actually really hard. And yes I'm conveniently hiding a bad attempt with my pencil. 🤫 #artistsonbluesky

Day 40 of sharing my daily #art progress. Studying stylized drawings, it almost feels harder drawing from another drawing as reference. At least when drawing from life you have full creative freedom - studying another drawing feels like there is a very precise way to get it right. #artistsonbluesky

Day 39 of sharing my daily art progress. Work on our dark academia VN for the Otome Game Jam continues. Sketching out potential characters and trying to lock in the art style for the characters. #art #artistsonbluesky #visualnovel #otome #otomegame #learningtodraw

Day 38 of sharing my (somewhat) daily art progress. Life got in the way a bit the past days, but I'm finally back home. Drawing in a familiar environment at my desk just makes all the difference for me. #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #learningtodraw

Day 37 of sharing my daily art progress. Today was a messy day, and I couldn't find a single moment between work and travelling to sit down and draw. I also didn't feel like forcing it to the point of exhaustion was worth it, so hopefully, I will find some time tomorrow. #art #artistsonbluesky

Day 36 of sharing my daily art progress. Really was rushing today just to check this off - again hesitating to even post this, but wanted to make sure I document both the good days and the bad. If anything it shows that progress isn't linear. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #learningtodraw

Day 35 of sharing my daily art progress. More portraits on the road. #art #artprogress #learningtodraw #artistsonbluesky

Day 34 of sharing my daily art progress. Some fast sketches today, still on the road for work. Hard to find a lot of calm moments to sit down and draw. At the same time, at least this teaches me not to be too precious or perfectionist for each portrait #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 33 of sharing my daily art progress. Happy Easter and hello spring 💜 #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress

Day 32 of sharing my daily art progress. Today was the first time for me to take my sketchbook out in public in a coffee place. I was super apprehensive that people would judge my drawings. Turns out that was all in my head, and nobody cares what you do. #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #art

Day 31 of sharing my daily art progress. Not much to say, about to go out or some karaoke so here is a daily drawing! #art #artprogress #dailydrawing #artistsonbluesky

Day 30 of sharing my daily art progress. Found new refills for my pencil, and things clicked much better. I'm super happy with how that last one at the bottom right turned out. Today marks day 30, so that's one month of daily drawing! 🥳 #art #artprogress #learningtodraw #artistsonbluesky

Day 29 of sharing my daily #art progress. Halfway through I had to change the mines of my mechanical pencil. My refills were super soft and smeary which felt super awkward to draw with. I couldnt get my lines right, everything looked and felt off. I got so frustrated and almost didn't post these.

Day 28 of sharing my daily #art progress - on the road edition. Drawing after a day full of travel for work in a hotel room feels strange, I really wasn't sure if I'd actually be able to find the time and energy to sit down today and draw. But it actually worked out! #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 26 of sharing my daily art process. I followed a youtube tutorial from Sinix - it's a short 12 minute video on nose anatomy but I feel like it contains hours and hours of knowledge. I keep coming back to it to process more information each time. #artistonbluesky #artprogress #learningtodraw

Day 25 of sharing my daily art progress. The next weeks will be the true test if I can keep these up since I'll be travelling 2 weeks for work. The plan is to bring my sketchbook and still find some time in the evenings. Let's see how it goes. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky

Day 24 of sharing my daily #art progress. I had the genius idea that now that my new drawing tablet is here, I might as well clean up my desk. Long story short, I somehow ended up with a new pc case and spent most of the day arranging cables. The end result is that I didn't even turn on the tablet.

Day 23 of sharing my daily art progress. I really wanted to color these but ran out of time today. Maybe I'll do a bonus update tomorrow morning with the finished result. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #artprogress

Day 22 of sharing my daily art progress. Coming back to digital and further working from the TACO drawing books. Still trying to get a better understanding of shapes and forms of the face. #artistsonbluesky #digitalart #artprogress #learningtodraw #art #drawing #portraitpractice

Day 21 of sharing my daily art practice. I keep coming back to the Korean TACO books for stylized drawings, did a few pages of studies on perspective with the three-quarter view and I feel like something finally clicked with getting the size of the second eye right. #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 20 of sharing my daily art practice. Today continues digitally, a sketch for another character of the #otome visual novel I'm working on. He's a teacher at the school you'll be attending - and who doesn't like a teacher as romance option. #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #originalcharacter #art

Day 19 of sharing my daily practice. I'm working on some concepts for an #otome visual novel set in a dark academia setting - and this will be one of the first characters. It's a very rough draft but since it took up most of my drawing time today, I felt like sharing the work in progress. #art

Day 18 of sharing my daily practice, and this one is a late one but still in time and totally counts! I went back and drew some characters from video games I really enjoyed playing the past months. It's incredible with how little detail some artists can create such memorable faces. #fanart #art

Day 17 of sharing my daily practice. Did a few pages of portrait sketches this morning - this time from imagination without references. I feel like they all have the same facial features. What's the secret to drawing more distinct faces? Any diversion from loomis made them look like aliens! #art

Day 16 of posting my daily progress. Some quick sketches to at least have done something today despite a hectic evening! I feel like you can really see the difference when they're rushed along vs. taking my time. Anyway - good weekend to everyone reading along! #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky

Day 15 of sharing my daily practice. Felt motivated to continue for another one with colour. The weekend ahead looks pretty busy, so I will probably go back to some pencil sketches the next few days. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 14 of sharing my daily progress. That's 2 weeks! Found some extra time today to add some colour for the occasion. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #learntodraw #beginnerartist

Day 13 of sharing my daily progress. More portraits! #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 12 of sharing my daily practice, started out wanting to draw 4 faces per page as usual but when these two were done it just felt complete for this page. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart

Day 11 of sharing my daily practice. Today, I realized that it's actually quite valuable to focus on drawing the same model multiple times. From top left to bottom right, the proportions got better with each attempt and reviewing what went wrong before. #art #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky

Day 10 of sharing my daily practice. Today's a little bit different. Someone very dear to me is literally obsessed with Levi Ackerman from Attack on Titan, so this one is for her! #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #artprogress #leviackerman #attackontitan #fanart

Day 9 of sharing my daily practice. Found some time for colour as well. Also, starting to use #365DaysOfArt for these posts, maybe encourages some others to follow along, let's cheer each other on! #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 8 of sharing my daily practice! Not much to say today, some more pencil sketches - hopefully more time for color during the weekend. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #artprogress #learningtodraw

Day 7 of sharing my daily practice. Not a lot of time today, so I filled a quick page with some faces. I didn't want to fail just after hitting the one week mark! #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 6 of sharing my daily practice. Went to see Wuthering Heights yesterday. Getting this on paper after the movie took way longer than anticipated. So, not a lot of sleep last night. Worth it, even if I'm a bit tired today 😴 #art #portrait #artistsonbluesky #fanart #artprogress #wutheringHeights

Day 5 of sharing my daily practice. More fun with two tone marker portraits. #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 4 of sharing my daily practice. Added a bit of colour with markers. Learnings: Picking matching colours is quite intimidating. Colored pencils seemed way nicer to work with on top of the markers vs fineliners #art #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 3 of sharing my daily practice! I feel like some faces look better than others but it's hard to pinpoint why - probably proportions or symmetry issues? #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #characterart #beginnerartist #artprogress

Day 2 of sharing my daily practice progress. After taking the first step, the second feels less scary. Learnings: Eyes are too high or too low, also hair is really difficult to get to flow nicely somehow #learningtodraw #art #sketch #portrait #drawing #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

First post to document my art journey with daily updates to hold myself accountable. Took a lot of courage to post this one after two months of practice - I'm happy with the progress even with wonky proportions. Here is to a year full of creation. #art #portrait #artistsonbluesky #characterart
