You know the deal by now. Also got the Scott Robertson Books so I’m delving into Perspective over the weekend, just fuck my shit up fam.
I gotta stop making the cheek/jaw angle so sharp. ti fucks up the construction of the whole head smh.
Only managed three studies. I think I might have to rethink hair a bit, these complicated shapes got me fucked up . sleepy time.
Procrastinating, lack of focus etc. I promise I’ll get 4 studies done tomorrow night to make up for today SMH. MOre hair studies, the more complicated the hairstyle/shape, the more I suffer. Also, I ordered a couple Scott Robertson books. This whole improvement shit is about getting better technically, nothing more technical than rendering and perspective. I also looked at a couple videos of the Riley Head construction, I’m interested.
More hair studies! Think I might be getting somewhere(crosses fingers). The ‘A’ indicates that it was drawn from imagination/applying the study. As always. I might as well start studying facial hair while I’m at it. Never comes out quite right. About 3.5-4 hours of studying, much better than last night.
One of those nights where you suck so bad you start re-evaluating everything. This first study was rough goings. I think the main issue is I’m tackling too much stuff at once, if i’m gonna study hair, fuck trying to draw faces, and if I’m studying hair, take it one step at a time, forget value and lighting and focus on form and shapes. THe second study was much more successful. Still gotta problem with being lazy. Well, with tonight being so tough, at least I’m tackling areas I clearly suck at.
Edit: this didn’t get published last night I guess.
It’s December smh. Focused on stuff I was weak at in the face, noses, downwards face angle(particularly troublesome)and mouths. Could have gotten more done if I wasn’t so lazy.
And a few faces from imagination!
This week I want to focus on hair while studying angles and faces. I just want to have a somewhat decent grasp on constructing faces as a whole soon. I feel like I’m close. It’s just those fucking eyes man, fuck.
Tried drinking a Monster but it didn’t help, should have gotten more sleep last night.I tried I guess. I promise I’ll go hard tomorrowwwwZZZZzzzZZZ
This is pretty straight forward. Bottom is from ref(posemaniacs/handviewer) top is from imagination/applying what I learned. I wish these posts were filled with a lot more drawings like you see in a lot improvement blogs/sketchbooks but it is what it is. These slower, more deliberate studies help me more. As I learn more, the more I have to re-learn. Vicious cycle blah blah. 3.5 hours(Wasted hella time).
Chin xp+
Ear XP+
Sidenote: lol what was the point of putting the date in the blog entries before? All the posts are dated.
Got in about 3.5 hours of studying tonight because my dumbass started late due to playing red dead online(traaaash) and now it’s 3 am and I gotta wake up in 4 hours SMH
Face study turned out alright. making progress on getting the eyes and jaws right without reference. I tend to default to heavy browed eyes. I want to start drawing sharper eyes, I think I should start drawing the bottom lid first to correct that. I wanna get in a ton more studies over the weekend and get into expressions and relearn the other angles as well. Rendering too.
Neck study. Been avoiding learning the muscles on the neck for the longest and this clears a lot for things up, definitely gonna study some more on this.
Tonight’s studies. Lesson of the night: slow the fuck down. Right now, I don’t need to worry about doing a ton of studies that I don’t learn a lot from but take things slowly and absorb as much as I can from the reference/study.
My most successful face to date. I think the one done without any reference competes, maybe even looks better than the study. The eyes are getting closer to where I want them to be. Still gotta work on the lips/jaw/brow. But I’m happy with this lol, rather than spending 25 min on each, I spent an hour or so on each, really tried to analyse the decisions being made. 
A pose/anatomy/gesture study. The one done without reference came out alright. I need to study:
-rotation of the torso and hips
-proportions
-rib cage and pelvis.
Watch me fail
