100 days of art

[Leyelle]

Alright, drew this today

My little brother suggested I make her glow lol

[Lensing]

Good idea with the glow.
Are you familiar with Stephen Silver?
That´s the artist who drew Kim Possible and he is also a teacher.
I think it would be interesting for you to look into his instagram page
because your art is very silhouette based / the silhouette of your
characters is very important. And he talks a lot about that and how
to improve it. It´s really interesting.

It´s something that I don´t do at all, but I should

Day 21, hands and lips.

I´m at a point where I can live with the hands that I´m drawing, they will work with my style

I´m also trying to make one of the 25 essential expressions every day with my OCs

[Leyelle]

no, i'd never heard of him but i'll look it up.

what are the 25 essential expressions?

[Lensing]

The 25 essential expressions are a fun thing to do when you make character sheets for
your comic. I do that to get to know my characters better and for brainstorming.

There is also one with 30 essential expressions online but 25 is already overkill enough

[Leyelle]

I was so busy I drew basically nothing today so far, might be able to get something done before I got to bed but Idk. I added a backpack and sort of fanny pack type bag to finish up this tech wear picture of Therese George I drew yesterday tho

[Lensing]

Day 22
unhappy about the sketches, happy about the animation, it´s weird
I will do lips now and I started a new arm drawing method.
I will do one kind of arm gesture per day and it will be 7 different,
7 because the week has 7 days

[Lensing]

Day 22, hands felt horrible, I don´t know what I´m doing with the muscles and it got messy
very quick, then I messed up the layers when I was drawing the sad expression.
I guess it´s not my day today

I´ll work on the next panel of my comic. It´s pretty much in the middle of the story and
it´s a dream sequence. The oc turn into a professor who has an anatomy / biology class.
Kind of convenient to learn anatomy through making a comic

[Leyelle]

Kind of convenient to learn anatomy through making a comic

I designed a whole comic about a girl learning to make comics for me to use to learn to draw xd. I'm sure you'll have a better art day soon tho

[Leyelle]

Today I drew someone else's oc, I'm due to make like two more pics tho

[Leyelle]

Did some shadows

[Lensing]

They both look great. The buckles (or what you call it) of the heels of the character in the second picture are different.
I only saw that because that´s something that happens to me all the time, sorry for pointing that out

[Lensing]

Day 23 already!
Yesterday sucked drawing wise, today I is the opposite, this is fun.

I´m thinking about taking part in a 24 hours comic day in october because
that´s really good to level up the sequential art skills

Here is a fist animation I did after waking up

and day 23

[Lensing]

Day 24, i didn´t sleep much and got up at 4:30 and started drawing hands,
I then accidentally deleted them and had to start all over again.

Instagram models are good for some poses but not good references for lips

[Lensing]

Day 25,I thought it was a good idea to do a cylinder turnaround today
and I did some 3 minutes hands. hands take me way longer normally but I only
have very limited time today. This also means that my daily practice is crazy long because
I´m normally doing 8 hand poses which take me over one hour at least

The gif thing seems to work this time

[Leyelle]

ik, it's because the straps look different on the different sides of her foot. Maybe they still should look a bit more similar, but I imagine they'd look different on the inside portion of her foot than on the outside. it's still worth noting tho, so thanks, no worries about pointing out any details that may or may not be mistakes, thanks

[Leyelle]

yikes, sorry your work disappeared, that's always awful

[Leyelle]

Was really really really sick yesterday and Friday so I got very little drawing done unfortunately.

This was some art I started on Thursday and finished on friday

and this was all made on Saturday when I was sicker

This is what art looks like when you have a fever and body aches

[Lensing]

I hope you feel better now
It still looks nice even though you were sick

[Lensing]

26 / 100
40 minutes of hand sketching. The pointing finger is important + hard to draw.

I started to repeat the Proko lesson about drawing hands and hand bones and hope
that it will make me improve my hand drawings

I will continue to work on my comic today
