Well, weekend didn’t go so well, but NOT because I was lazy. My toilet broke! so most of my weekend was spent repairing it, happy to say that I did better than Frasier and Niles. Anyways, some shit I was able to get done.
If my toilet stays not-broke, I should get a ton done today.
Got some studies doen. Started tackling folds, tough stuff lol. I also noticed that I was doing monday and tuesday of the study schedule instead of wednesday and thursday, my bad.
First off, let’s get the bullshit out of the way. Wasted Monday and Tuesday. Barely studied. Although I did do a naruto doodle that got over 3k upvotes on reddit so that was cool. Maybe I’ll get a commission or two out of it.
During my Dayjob today I put together a schedule, I’ve got no excuses now. Got 4 hours of solid studying tonight, woo! As always, the drawing with the “A” is done without ref.
THe figure studies wen’t well, learned some stuff with the pelvis at sitting position. Hair studies were ehh, curly hair is hard.
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.
Collection of studies. Learned a ton and overthought quite a bit. Lots of anatomy, posing, gesture type shit. learned that learning how some of the muscles and stuff work make a big difference in learning how to draw them. From Sept-Oct

I started out doing the same dumb shit I usually did when I tried to study, which is basically copying an image. I didn’t learn shit from this. Still suck at hair and clothes and most everything but yeah.
From here I started trying to learn the shapes of what I was drawing, understanding how muscles, joints, planes of the face etc actually worked. Not much here is pretty but It was a lot of figuring stuff out. Plenty of failure here too as too many times I fell back on copying a pose or a face and 10 layers later ending up with nothing.
Faces, the thing I’m most comfortable drawing yet feel so far away from nailing, collection of faces off pinterest, didn’t learn much, guess why.
Watch me fail
