ehhh, not so great ending to the year personal and art life wise. So here’s whatever I drew until today. 2020 new year new me lol.
closing out 2019 with a whimper

7/1 through 7/10 write-up
Not sure what to say other than sitting poses and shit is hard lol. Failure of a night, fucked these up then went straight to procrastinating.
just a couple faces from imagination. I like the first one tbh.
Hands continue to be frustratingly hard lol. FInger and fingernail shapes kill me.
from some thread on /ic. Trash.
More hand studies and a clothes/fabric study.
figure/gesture studies. Pretty self explanatory.
Figure study on the left. Me trying to figure out knees on the right. Still not too sure about how to draw them/simplify the shape.
More Cloth/Fabric studies. Honestly, much harder than I expected. Always figured once I get comfortable with the human form clothes would be an after thought, fucking nope lol. Can’t wait for this to click, right now it’s just frustrating every time. Just gotta keep brute forcing it and reading up material I guess.
More figure studies, always avoided drawing the figure from the back, figured it was time to stop doing that lol.
More of the same really. Should have followed these up immediately with some doodles from imagination.
the smiley says it all.
Been a while since I studied portraits.
From imagination. 2stiff.
Fuck folds. Straight up.
This Naruto doodle is the result of me lowering opacity and redrawing about 4 times. Sitting pose + folds? fuck my shit up fam.
As of writing this post, this is my last study that I did.
At the beginning of last week I actually scheduled a day off from my dayjob on Friday so I could really put my shit in high gear-studying wise. Went to bed thursday all night with full intention to study my ass off the next day.
Woke up at 4am with the worst headache plus sore threat I’ve ever had, which developed into the worst cold/flu I ever had, this went on through the week, just my luck. Monday? this developed into awful congestion and fucked up sinuses. Missed more days of work, spent out my ass for a doctor’s visit + antibiotics.
FInally, things have cleared up. So I’m back to drawing. If all goes well, I’ll be posting on Sunday night with a ton of studies I do over the weekend, *crosses fingers*.
Week of 05/06/2019
welp
I aint shit. Imma go hard or some other bullshit this week
Okay We Byke
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.
I better go ham tomorrow or this week is a wash.
Okay, I lied
Only managed three studies. I think I might have to rethink hair a bit, these complicated shapes got me fucked up . sleepy time.
Hair
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.
Watch me fail
