Ah shit, here we are again.

Istg I will get back to writing my usual content but I am on a doodling spree rn forgive me

Anyway

🌸Teaching Myself To draw cuz Fuck the AI Art Bros🌸 #2

From the last post, I received a sketch book as a gift outta the blue. /gotta love manifestation/ And ofc I used that to my full advantage.

For the first page, I decided to do a full body as a comparison of my progress.

As u can see, its not great, but not terrible. Instead of getting down to practicing individual bits and pieces, I decided to do another full body, taking in consideration the notes I wrote after finishing the first drawing.

And this time.....

It looks a hell of a lot better! I even kinda figured out toe placements on feet djdjs.

Comparing it to the first time I tried drawing a person, I can actually see the improvement!

Highkey proud ngl

Anyway. After that I tried practicing more dynamic poses.

While they aren't as clean as the one above, I do think I'm starting to get a grasp of Limb lengths? Not perfect ofc but I'm starting to get there.

You can see that I went on a whole rampage on hands, and I plan on practicing them more!

I did one more doodle page, this time theorizing on collarbones and I THINK I figured out the basic shape of a hand? I stared at mine for a good while and the one above looks pretty nice compared to the OG stick fingers.

/yes, I got distracted and decided to doodle a mermaid and an inkling from splattoon/ yes, i tried drawing ruffles and clothes and yes they are not great /

Overall I'm really proud of the progress I've made the past few days of looking at my art critically with the intent to improve instead of moping about. I'm actually kinda excited to see how this develops.

Dead ass during the night I was like "yo, if I keep practicing maybe I could make my own fanart AND fanfiction'

I dunno if any mortal should be able to wield that much power tho.

Anywell, I am gonna keep going at it and see where this leads.

#ai art is fake art #ai art is not art #pro ai bros will be ignored lol 😆 😂 🤣#ai art is theft #ai art is stolen art #teaching myself to draw #cuz fuck ai art #karmascreeches

Ayo it's late but 2023 Digital Art Progress

I drew the most digital stuff I've ever drawn last year. I finally pushed past a lot of my issues with the digital medium and figured out how to actually Do The Thing per se. so I think I got a lot better over the course of 2023. I definitely changed my visual style a lot, that's for sure.

Unfortunately I did lose my USB in 2023 as well so I lost a lot of my files. much sadness.

LONG POST. lots of drawings to get through and I have Thoughts.

Anyway these are dated in my files as March, which is my earliest I have rn, so this is kinda a representation of how I started the year.

I was busy most of April so May has two files. these were both a part of my semester one project of my degree.

I've got a lot of things dated for June, which is surprising. and not a lot of things dated after. I'm all over the place with starting wips and when it comes to finishing them... ehhh it happens eventually.

I really wish I could go back in time and fix that leg. I just wanted to avoid drawing toes lmao. the thick line art really is a problem to me but that's neither here nor there.

I think I finished a bunch of thing in June, because these are dated two days apart and I definitely started one before the other lmao. hell I think the one on the left was started in 2022.

I'm not sure when this was but it was early in the year. I tried to veer away from the harsh lines and ended up swinging too far into semi-realism. I loved how it was looking (this is still a wip) but the amount of time it was taking was too much for me to replicate again.

This definitely a June piece, because I wanted to do one character every few days throughout Pride Month. Didn't finish it.

last year my friends and I considered starting to record and post our dnd games, so I did some arts of the characters of our current campaign.

I think the solid black line art all of the same thickness was one of the main things I always disliked. I could never quite make it work with everything else I was doing.

This is probably the only work I did with solid black lines that I really liked. it seems to work okay here.

The July came around, and artfight with it! (this character belongs to Crimson_Deceit. You can find Crimson on instagram as Lova.cos or twitter also as Crimson_Deceit)

and then the DCU rarepair exchange came in September and I didn't have time to write treats so I drew them, which spawned a new attempt at shading things that I've been messing with ever since. I prefer the way my linework looks with it.

I messed around with clown oc designs in October, cause that was a mini trend on instagram. didn't finish fast enough to post it but i really like some of the designs.

in December I drew the OCs of some of my friends, as we finished our playthrough of CoS last year. this is our cleric, a changeling who went through many names and faces, depicted holding hands with their player @angelicsky64817

Last piece of the year was this muck around. I'm still trying to figure out some of these new style choices I'm making.

Finish off with a sneak at what I'm currently doing in the new year! I've been drawing one big piece so it's stretching over from january. It's still a wip. And it's such a big image I've gotta compress it.

woo! now I gotta go finish that thing. there's gonna be three more characters to the right of the yellow one. why have I done this to myself.

i hope that in 2024 i can get more of a grip on the saturation of my newer styles of drawing. and learn some more colour theory. and also get better at drawing skin, cause I think I'm mostly okay at clothes but skin always looks boring or weird.
