Day 99:

Mmm. Yummy.

Ohhhhh yeeeeeah baby

️

[Lensing]

I really like this and especially that it doesn´t have outlines

[Leyelle]

Oh thank you. I like the outline free affect but the finished commission won't be sold like that cuz I'd feel bad charging for it lol

Day 100:

With a heavy heart, I have to bid thee a farewell.

I’m leaving the forums from this day forward and I’ll never be coming back again.
Will keep post Elsie and such in the future so that is where you will find me.

This has been fun while it lasted.

Bonus:

🏻peace and love ya’ll

Not 100 days of art, but a year's summary.
I'm not so much into drawing in 2025, but 2026 may be different.

[Leyelle]

Eh? Leaving for good so suddenly?

[Lensing]

Day 1 of 2026 was great, I did some figure drawing, started with the portraits again.
Trying not to overthink and be too accurate with the portraits this time. That was
the reason why I stopped the last time, because I simply spent too much time
on it. The other problem is that the technique gets super complicated in step
2 and it´s hard for me to just continue without fully understanding.

I didn´t start the Artwod course yet.

[Leyelle]

Looks good so far!

What did the reference look like?

[Leyelle]

Currently still working on a commission so I can't share it rn TT

[Lensing]

This is the reference picture, I gave him a more soft, a bit feminine face,
that didn´t happen on purpose.

[Lensing]

So far so good, I´m downloading the pdfs with the planes of the head now and then
I´ll try to apply them step after step. It gets really complicated (for me) from this step
on forward. The simple head construction is easy to remember, but I also have down
it many times by now. I feel like training this for a while has really helped me a lot.

Another commission wip

[Leyelle]

Just realized today is day 99 of my 100 days of drawing. I have to finish my commission between today and tomorrow so i can start my promised break ‍

[Lensing]

It´s important to take breaks, especially when you have other things to do.

I started the Artwod course and I´m trying to find my way through the page and
courses right now.

I´m doing daily quick sketches again and I just thought that I really got better at
it in the last 10 years. I still remember the feeling of not knowing where to ever
start + everything looking horrible and without proportions. I now feel like
I can draw figures pretty accurately and also a lot of poses from memory.

[Leyelle]

That's awesome! It's always cool to see your progress

[Lensing]

I often think that we all don´t realise that progress ourselves, or not appreciate
that progress. My brother has a birthday card hanging in his kitchen and I can
see that I wasn´t able to understand / draw a box in perspective at that time.
It´s hard for me to imagine that there was a time when I couldn´t do that.

[Leyelle]

Yeah, it can be hard to see your own progress at times. But it's often clearer in retrospect

[Lensing]

I´m doing at least 3x 10 minutes figure drawing every day. I got better at this through the
years. It´s a good feeling not to feel lost or not knowing where to even start.

The artwod course is great. It´s advanced and I wouldn´t have been able to do this
some years ago. The videos are really short, which is great for me. So far this is my
favourite art course and I´m learning exactly what I want to learn. All the stuff so
far are things that I already know, but he has a good way to teach the theory behind
it. It´s mostly about understanding shapes, constructing with shapes.

[Leyelle]

I am back to drawing after taking a promised one month break. I'm going to do a lot of intentional study this year, right now starting with individual facial features in different poses/positions. Today is day 2

[Leyelle]

Goodness I would break my ankles in those heels
