100 days of art

[Leyelle]

cool, that sounds really useful

[Lensing]

Day 4
I rushed this because I can´t wait to get back to working on my comic,
And I learned to draw Mickey Mouse, I play an online drawing game sometimes
and just found out that I can´t draw Mickey Mouse

[Lensing]

Day 5, I´m almost done with the planes of the cheek bone area.
it´s the most complicated part of the face for me, that´s why
it´s taking me forever to remember it. I will do a longer portrait
once I remembered all the parts. I tested if I can still draw
MM and I wasn´t happy with the hand sketch today but it
doesn´t look too bad when I look at it now

[Leyelle]

Lol, I can never draw other folks characters

[Lensing]

I can´t draw my brothers main original character for some reason.
It´s a super simple character with just 4 lines as hair but he says I
always draw him too cute

[Leyelle]

Well that's better than a the alternative ig

[Lensing]

Day 6
I did the last part of the cheekbone area plane which is the side thingy.
Next thing I will do is to watch the tutorial how to attach the planes and
where they are exactly. I have the feeling that this is one of the main keys
to draw better 3 dimensional looking faces and for shading.

No Mickey Mouse today but I can draw MM in my sleep now

[Lensing]

Day 7
I´m not really getting forward with the theory right now so I´ll just take one small
step after other. I just try to remember one plane today and that is the back triangle

I also did this color thingy today. I really have to do a step to step coloring course
or some at one point of my life. I don´t have the patience for coloring and I don´t
know which brushes to use and everything

[Lensing]

Day 8,

totally messed up that head but I got better at remembering the planes of the head,
they are just not placed good because I didn´t draw head correctly.
I´m quite happy with the hand turnaround

[Leyelle]

Practicing drawing highlights and contouring with the help of reference photos, And some advice i've received.

[Lensing]

Day 9
it never feels like I´m improving but sometimes I realise years later that
I improved

[Lensing]

Day 10, I did my least favourite hand pose today, the fist.
It´s so hard for me to draw a fist because it always just looks like one big
mass and there is no option to make it look good with dynamic fingers or
anything.

Then I did a quick head study but didn´t have the patience to do it accurately

[orchidesyl]

I take on too many things to start this as a side mission, but I believe in you guys! And I believe in anyone else who participates! Commenting join the thread :>

[Leyelle]

it never feels like I´m improving but sometimes I realise years later that

yeah, that's too relatable lol

[Leyelle]

I'm still trying to make Mora's features more visible.

On whatever device you are using to view this, are her features visible?

[Lensing]

I´m viewing on a huge xpen drawing tablet and the face and I can only see the white of the eyes.
The picture of the other character in the sketch a day thread works way better. You probably have
to work with highligths more

[Leyelle]

yeah, but the other character has a much fairer complexion canonically, so I just have to keep working on it. Thanks!

[Lensing]

Yeah you are right.
But it´s good that you challenge yourself, I think you´ll learn a lot

[Lensing]

Day 11, I remember the cheek bone planes now and how to find them.
I can do a longer portrait session next week on tuesday and see if I got
any better. Hands were easy today even though I kind of rushed them

[Leyelle]

But it´s good that you challenge yourself, I think you´ll learn a lot

thank you, I hope I will. I'm not very good yet, but i am giving it my all
