Was able to attend a real life in person figure drawing session this week. Been like 2 years. Had a blast, thanks to the model Dani for some great poses. Hope to catch another on in the next 2 years. Procreate

Pretty happy with this one. Painted the background while on the phone a while ago. I couldn’t get the figure to work, so put it down and left it at that. Picked it back up last week and managed to put it together. Figure: Amedea from

One more in this study series. I just did all 4 right in the same document, doing each step across all studies rather than finishing one before moving on to the next. Anyone have a better way of preforming art faster?

No.2 of the “Really need to practice hands and faces” series. Like the background better than the figure this round.

Really need to practice hands and faces, but I just want to draw …well, you know. Compromise makes the world go round. First of a few studies. Trying to work faster, and not be too precious with anything.

First time messing around in
#ClipStudioPaint
. Definitely a learning curve coming from photoshop, though just about everything in my workflow is there. Much much snappier with most brushes, utterly unusable with others (thanks Kyle Webster, iykyk)

Procreate work from ref. Thanks for supporting the art community
@hjmodelevivant.bsky.social
! Felt like the pose needed water, and was a struggle for sure to add that in, lots of leaning left to do. Critique box open

Haven’t been able to draw much these past few weeks. A flooded basement has me playing handyman (hyperventilating into a paper bag). Really miss life drawing classes, here’s some old archives from some in person sessions. All done in procreate.

Current WIP. Office pin-up stuff. Work has been crazy tho, so maybe the “progress” bit is overstated.

Life has been crazy busy lately, so haven’t had a lot of time to draw and erase the same line over and over. Here’s a study in procreate from a while ago. Tried out some new brushes

Couple quick figure studies using ref from
@grafitstudio.bsky.social
I always try to use other brushes, but
@kyletwebster.bsky.social
‘s paintbox is just too much fun. “Quick” in this case means “sloppy.” I cannot draw fast.

Old piece (2023), wanted to do a character and background. Hadn’t tried anything like this at the time. Let me know if you want to see more of this one. 5 likes and we’ll lose the white tank!

Online life drawing this morning with Draw-Brighton and
@hjmodelevivant.bsky.social
30 min pose and a handful of 1-3mins that I barely did because it takes me 1-3 minutes to figure out what layer I’m on and how to get the brush tool back up.

Some old studies from the Shiori Tokunaga pose book. Feel like there was a little improvement even in the series: you can kinda tell which ones were done first.

Last one of these. Probably the best BG I’ve managed, might try to do more characters in that style. Reference for pose from Reddit user manoeladiz

Quick anatomy study, and trying for a watercolor look here. Critiques open. Also- I feel like 🅱️holes shouldn’t be easier to draw than, say, noses. But noses are way harder!! Reference from Reddit, model Chiara Colognola
