i really think your painting skills are really high already soo this is something really good in your drawings itself sometimes something is still a bit wonky but your base is really solid! I am looking forward to see more in the future

Thanks for stopping by Saiko yeah, I unfortunately still have a lot of wonkiness in my stuff, especially faces. Hopefully I will get better in the future. I wouldnt say that my painting skills are very high, I really just started getting into that 4 months ago, so there is still a lot to learn. But I am glad that you like it

Some drawings from imagination:




And I finally started learning hands. For now I am just drawing from reference to build some visual library:

I took some sketches of faces I liked and tried painting them

Sketches from imagination




And some 1 hour studies

More of 1 hour studies



Schoolism assignment



And some sketches from imagination

Paintings are messy, but nicely catched.

Yeah, unfortunately I am too slow of a painter to clean them up in one hour. Hopefully I will get better with time

I tried spending more time on my drawings from imagination to get them to look more appealing. I am quite happy with the result, I think this is my best page so far (as far as drawings go). I also tried adding some graphical shapes, which seem to be working nice. I am not sure whether it is more beneficial to spend larger amount of time on a single drawing or maybe I should just make several less polished ones in the same time? Any thoughts on that

Playing with some character design I guess

Some black and white work from imagination



I also started doing these 20 minutes sketches from reference. I am not sure whether this will be beneficial in the end, but I hope that it will help improve some of my painting skills and force me to sketch with shapes rather than lines

Havent posted for a while, but I am still doing stuff Here is some schoolism assignment. The goal was to draw a character in balanced and unbalanced pose, thinking about hair and clothes. I tried not using reference for this one to test my skills.



Plus some poses from imagination



As this is the end of the year, I looked back at what I was drawing a year ago around this time:



There is a visible improvement for sure, although I was hoping to cover more stuff during this year. On the other hand I wasnt planning on getting into painting, so this probably took a large chunk of my time Talking about painting, some more 20 min sketches



See you all next year

Well, beginning of 2019 didnt go as planned It was supposed to start with a lot of new energy, but instead I got kind of unhappy with my drawings, and felt like they are just very boring. I still draw almost everyday, but the stuff just doesnt seem worth posting. I feel like my biggest issue is coming up with interesting concepts and ideas, so this is what I want to focus on now

I saw that my sketchbook went into the abyss of second page of the forum, so I figured I will post a current page of my work. Some witches and stuff
