100 days of art

[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

[Leyelle]

these hands look really good imao

[Leyelle]

Still practicing lighting to try to make my girl's features stand out more. I'm not sure how i feel about this pic rn lol. it's a learning curve. today i tried using an airbrush like someone suggested, which i think gives a very unique affect

[Lensing]

I think it works, I would give it more highlights or play with outlines.
It´s a cartoony style, why not make it pop out of the page more?

[Leyelle]

oh thank you, and yeah, I think her arms and legs should have some highlights in future too xd

[Lensing]

This is what happens on days with limited time,
I have a long drive to 2 cities and later back home so
I will not be drawing the whole day. Maybe tonight

This is a 3 minute hand

[Leyelle]

still better than my hands lol, good work

[Leyelle]

More shading and highlighting practice. I think i'm finally getting close-ish to her features finally being visible

[Leyelle]

This may quickly become 100 days of trying to draw Mora. Or at least 80 something lol. but i'm getting closer, slowly but steadily.

Here we have her as an elf

[Lensing]

I came home one hour ago, felt guilty that I only drew one hand today so I made
another one for day 12. I feel better now and will draw some things for fun now

I hate guns btw and my comics will never have any violence, but I needed something
challenging

[Leyelle]

maybe it's a water gun. or for Olympic shooting? you can make your head canon whatever you like

[Lensing]

The water gun is a creative and lovely idea
Another option is a chocolate gun

[Lensing]

Day 13, the hands felt like gloves today. I did the planes of the nose and then I drew this head
construction from memory.

The nose construction thing helps a lot with shading and hightlights because then you what is in
light and shadow

[Leyelle]

Oh wow, this is so detailed, and helpful to see. thanks for the note

[Lensing]

Day 14, bad hand day but I´m pushing through.
Some quick legs and more nose planes.

I will do some figure drawing now
