oh, thank you so much. I just wanted to give people some better versions of the oc swap since my art wasn't so great earlier this year. But I've really appreciated the encouragement as i improve, so thanks again and I'm glad you like the drawing and Aldi's fit. And I definitely think it would be cool to see you draw her in another fit. I really like her design

I'm glad you like it. I can finally rest in peace lol

Yesterday I drew @ArtGremlin 's emo boy. Trying to go back over and redraw art from some of the people who gave me awesome art of my ocs earlier this year, since my art has improved since then. Plus I find that I improve more when drawing other people's ocs at times, probably because it pushes me outside of my comfort zone to try drawing things i wouldn't usually draw since I have my biases/go-tos. I'm still not great at coloring, so I posted both versions, but I hope you like it! Just consider this me finally finishing my part of one of our art trades lol. The wooden pendants on the belt are kinda weird, but it's a fairy thing. Thought I'd give him an outfit in his color scheme but one that looks something like what one of my fairy characters would make for someone

Wow, Thank you! You’ve really improved a lot :grin: I love seeing him in different outfits, especially since it expands my mental wardrobe for him.

tysm. I'm still working on drawing guys so Ian was tricky for me. Something about his hair tripped me up a bit too, not sure what. I really respect your skills cuz he is not easy to draw but you do him so well.

i'm the same way with my ocs lol, we need to play dress up with our ocs, that's what they're for!

Yeah his hair is actually way more difficult than it looks :skull: it took me a while to get it to where it is today and I’m still improving.

Day 44, I have been looking into character turnarounds and will copy some
from other artists. Here is the side view of someone else´s oc (Anna Rettberg)
and I made a colored version because that´s also something I want to practice more

good to have ya back, this coloring looks cool, makes me think of simplistic animes

@lizardlullabye @Thumber @LostKelp

redrew ya'll's ocs too, since the art wasn't so hot the first time i tried earlier this year (and i stunk at taking photos and it was all analog.) So consider this me finally finishing my part of our art trades from earlier this year


Lizardlullabye's nameless vintage girl


Alya. Still digging the hair.


Adelia. I did something quirky with her outfit giving her a jumpsuit.

Hot dang homie! Alya looks great! you've improved so much, good on you! I'll be sure to send another drawing of one of your characters - I think mora is a pretty cool design So I'll send a drawing of her your way ASAP.

Oh, thank you, but you don't have to. I just wanted to give you an improved one as thanks for the picture of Essence, and the advice you gave me on trying to draw Mora as well. Thanks again for that and the encouragement

@Amalockh1 I redid the drawing of Jack I gave you. Didn't know he was a kid the first time so I figured i'd make you an updated version, especially since my art has improved since when i drew the original

Day 45, I did the 3/4 view for the character turnaround today.

I will continue my drawing day now with character turnarounds of the characters of the comic
I´m working on.

Yesterday's art

I made a better drawing of @Rai_Muffin 's oc I tried to draw for an art trade earlier this year. Thanks again for the pic of Alicia you made me, so I made you a digital version of Natsumi since the last one I made was analog

Redrew @ThunderChicken 's well, not oc, but him, since he's the mc of his novel. Thanks again for the art you made of Kattar! So I figured i'd make you a better version of the portrait i drew you earlier this year. colored and uncolored since i'm awful at coloring but i need to practice lol

I know I don't have to. but I like your art and your characters and I like drawing for other people. and I like to keep things even anyway.

oh, tysm. And this drawing is awesome! I love the way you rendered her hair and complexion. Can I share this on my ig and tag you?

Day 46, I did the 3/4 back view of the character turnaround and I made a quick character turnaround of
a blank character, I think I would befenit from doing this as a daily warmup


Probably my final day of redrawing pieces I made for art trades. If my headache recedes, (maybe even if it doens't tbh) imma try to get back to making panels for my comic.

Here I I redrew the OC I did for my first art trade with @delladz at the beginning of the year. Thanks again for the drawing of Jinwoo. I remember that this was your friend's OC, rather than yours, but I thought I ought to get you a better version of the picture now that my art has improved, so consider this me finally finishing my part of the art trade.

I've come a long way since April 4th 2024:

Day 47 already, I did the back view for the character turnaround today,
I will continue with a quick character / basic anatomy turnaround now
I will have some off days where I will just doodle in the tour bus or hotel soon,
but I drew every day since may 15 2015 (my birthday), next year it will be 10
years and I will look at some of the sketches that I did that year

I did this today for myself to figure out what the boxes represent when I draw with boxes.

The title of the picture is "I´m german and want everything to be super accurate" :stuck_out_tongue:

I drew an OC inspired by a general face design (eyes, nose, head shape, ears) of another artist's oc, to see how I would design a hairstyle to suit that face shape. Took me a while, and even inspired, I still kind of leaned into my style for the nose and eyes a bit, and added lips, since almost all my ocs are pocs. I like the character design gist, but wouldn't consider it a finished OC design, since it's not really totally my style.

thank you, i've been trying to shade more of my art lately, but unfortunately i find that after all my work it often doesn't show well when i switch devices tt

Yes, I didn´t skip one day, even when I got covid or when I was really hungover.
I always have drawing material with me when I travel

I made this on thursday

and these two on Friday, which was my day off

the pic of Alicia is a redraw of this pic i made earlier this year

I like the art style but i don't think it suits DITRD


I drew a lot yesterday lol. I realize that I usually only draw people facing to my left, their right, unless I'm working on panels for my comic, so I chose to draw Ayla facing her left to force myself out of my box

I´m back from the tour, I drew traditionally with a pen all the time when we were driving.
The last drive was 8 hours long, drawing is a great way to kill time.

The trick behind drawing every day is 1) have drawing material with you all the time, there
is always waiting time that you can either kill with your smart phone or with drawing 2) have
daily creative habits 3) don´t pressure yourself, just tell yourself that you only have to draw one
single line on a piece of paper, this counts as drawing too, once you drew that one line you
will automatically continue to doodle around

Here is day 48, I wasn´t sure what to draw so I drew the first frame of a walking circle in my style.
I have some super busy days in front of me but will have a lot of time to draw from october 8 on
to the end of october. The only thing I´ll have to do is to prepare the material for the next drawing
lessons for kids

ahh yeah, I currently can't afford a hard copy sketch book, so carrying around drawing material other than digital isn't doable rn, but it's definitely a good idea


Yesterday's art.

Two of my ocs cosplaying as other people's ocs, and my character Essence Walker. Pudding is dressed as 2dlenzy's oc Alec Tryon and Alicia is dressed as beebutterbee's character Chariot.
