Productive??? Day??? š³
productive??? day??? š³
āI wasnāt gonna do more artā¦., I was tired but know what I watched some videos and came back to this artist that helped a lot and I think thinking of legs of like wrapping formsā¦ helped instead of drawing the individual parts of leg but just thinking about the two parts wrapā¦ helpedā¦ I just wanted to first get down how it was like (and did so initially roughly with finger) and kind ofā¦ helped start a figure session getting out the pen
āmain things I wanted to keep in mind and think about was wrapping form and the way the body parts (rib waist pelvis) stack on top of each otherā¦ im still weak in the area of waist/pelvis but I did like this session. also focused on the hands too like the video helped a lot. like instead of trying to construct the hand with fingers from knuckles but insteadā¦ drawing where thumb/index/pinky come out from the hand helps so much more. still need to practice more on that but felt like hands were more easier that wayā¦
āI did get bored of it and wanted to do other stuff and so it came to mind to go to the š§ terrible day comicā¦ and yeah I needed to ref back to the manga to see how things looked like (the setting) but honestly I couldnāt bothered so I decided to just focused on the pose that was there and draw it more better(?) and ahā¦. Problem I had was like I didnāt know how to draw this hunched over position wellā¦ with hands in pocket. But one thing I realised was that the head is more lower and the traps/shoulders start to the ear but was just completely lost on how to get the legs right and gave up decided to look at some refs for later lmao.
āand then well I wanted to see how the other pose would fair nowā¦ and I think main thing is thinking about how the arms would look like if I a person was tied up like that. like would it be more in or just very close to body but more straight to show that itās being boundā¦ and then well I did want to scribble in the other panel more but ehhh I think I still need to work on that posing stuffs But yeshhhh.
āand then I went to the hina+boru ideaā¦. I did want to have a specific idea but the posing or whatever I didnāt think of yet so time to scribble in stuffsā¦ the first idea was fine but felt like I didnāt know what to do with boru? so I went with another idea but this time while it was good it didnāt convey what I wantedā¦ I think itās best that I think of more scenarios of what the vibe is cuz I know what like a āyounger mom who isnāt mom yet meets future sonā but not like an actual time travel thing but just having them interactā¦. So I think itās good to think on it before doing this
āalso it was kinda fun to just scribble in stuffā¦ and not mattering how it looks just getting in the pose and stuffā¦ and mannnnn trying to get posing of legs was hard once again. I lol havenāt spent time on them so that makes sense but still ššš
āalso it was a bit trying to figure out the proportions of š© and I think I made him more childlike than I wanted in the second pose ideaā¦.? But well. At least itās a cute image to try to try and draw properly later (by later I mean sometime in the long future lol) even if itās not wanting I was going for.
āokay after that I was still wanting to sketch in character ideas and this one came to mindā¦. Originally it was a comic idea but my gosh while I do have all of the comic kinda scrippted out in my notes I could not be asked to do all of that. so I focused on the part that was the intial idea anyways and what the comic was born from.
ātried to get the feel of what I wanted and it was mostly trying to get closeness of him leaning over š¦and was a bit lost on the arms since they arenāt an important part of the scene so I tried to for mitsuā¦ get like something where it feels like heās leaning over so his arms would probs in that direction to balance and for her it was hard cuz haā¦.. i had no idea what to do with her arms? I knew they were eatingā¦ ahhh I got already an idea for his arms(1.37) since they were eating maybe itās already on the tableā¦ I think it would help to get an image of what theyāre already doing like in scene which helps in knowing what the arm are doing before he leans over
āi think the direction of her face feels off but something to work on along with perspective too.
āit felt really nice when I added in more details to the scene to feel like they are in a scene and I think I might scrapped the comic idea after all. since it was never intially meant to be a comic and I think itās unnecessaryā¦? If I wanted more scene I think I can have be more looseā¦ instead of establishing an entire moment with having lol panels of them just in the burger place. too much trouble and not interested in doing so right now
āalso tried to add in the other characters that would be in the scene (which I think might be playing games) but ehhhh I think they should be probs more overlapping? Them? And the perspective on themā¦ I thought that youād see more of their hands so more of looking down so I probs need to fit the š¦š to fit it moreā¦ but also I donāt think the other characters matter so I think it would be fun to a composition where the other characters are completely in foreground so you can only see their large arm or whatever and in between that you can see š¦š ā¦ I think that would be fun to tryā¦! 1.42
āI did want to do more character posing stuff/ideas but too tired for that and ahhh really want to try colouring and the whole ā³thing back again (might just make a bday illustration then thinking about pose) (since itās what shitā¦ tmmr. lol) also want to drawwwww ss + skkr since i saw this art that GOT ME REALLY EXCITED also made me think ahhā¦ I do want to draw skkr more like her canon design but not like completely? like thatās the vibe I want. and also I want to try colouring her hair and the pink right now. but thatās for later if I get around to doing it.
but mainly im really happy i got to sketching/doodling some character stuff since thatās WHAT I WANTā¦!!!!! YES!!!!! 1.45
ā3.13 im really supposed to be sleeping and want to sleepā¦ but also I canāt be bothered to and watched some waist videos and found this leg video that looks good but donāt have attention span for it so I think I will watch it laterā¦ but I think Iāve got? A sort of idea to tackle waist stuff but also too tired right now to try and draw stuffā¦ or more like I donāt have energy to get up and draw lol
āyeah I didnāt do any of that. I went offff and well then the time came to be like evening when I realised I havenāt done any more art stuff and was like right okay I donāt think thereās any more for today but thenā¦!!!! while lookin at fanart stuff on xā¦!!!! I got sudden urge to pracā¦figureā¦.!! I wanted to get better<333 but I just couldnāt be bothered to doā¦. but then when I got this idea while browsing through the š„šµ discordā¦ and I just wanted to drawā¦?! and heh thankfully as soon as i opened procreate, what I saw was the figure session I left onā¦ hehā¦ so I just thought might as well get some figure practice in firstā¦!
āone thing to say is that wowā¦ I can really feel my improvement. to be able to see a pose and then draw in diff way.. trying to make it more dynamicā¦. justā¦!!! yo!!!! and also to see how I did balance wrong first and to be able to fix itā¦!!!!!! im so improving heh.
āsaw this other pose I thought was interesting and by interesting hard too lmao. I think I got that the neck was important pointā¦ and I just the legs??? yeahhh. Also I thought I got the way the pose felt more relaxed in the refā¦. I should get back to this one to study later dayā¦.
āand lol as usual me telling my self to prac arms ššš i did do some lil hand studies in the cornerā¦. and have to say they donāt look completely so thatās a win in my books. I was following this tip I saw in a video to draw the outer most fingers first (thumb, index, pinky) and like it def helped a lot with spacing but much need to work on, still ahaha.
āand then hehehe for the highlight of the dayā¦!!!!! man I had this idea for it and went to doodling immediately for the pose and yeah I wasnāt at all satisfied of how it was and kinda did an adjustment seeing if it was because they werenāt closer and I think it still felt offā¦? and so I looked the mental image that I had and I realised ah. well. itās cuz the one in my mind is so much more dynamic and fun and focuses on š¦©ās face rather then the actually pulling. so. then it did help pausing down and jotting down stuff to more better actualise stuff (also trying to draw the arm coming from nekoās shoulder back view was so???? also I did have a plan on having two panel thingy where I do a reveal of nekoās face so I thought it would make sense for this to have back view of his head.
āand so this time..!!!!! yes it came out soooo much better as you can the third attempt. also this time I realised while drawing that it would be better to not have the arms as the focal point but itās actually š¦©ās faceā¦!!!!! and I wanted some pull/push action like it looks like heās actuallyyyy reeling him in you know and I think having the hands there is good decision for that. and I donāt know if I was gonna have legs in there at first but I think it adds to itā¦!!! also ahahah tried to make it look like one of his legs were going backwards like heās actually pulling him in. many thanks to saito-sensei in that one correction video that helped so much ahahahh. but I did feel like something was still off
āso i made another adjustment of trying to bring Neko closer and hey!!! I think that made it feel much better. also before i forget to mention when initially redrawing the pose and doing second attempt for dynamic stuffā¦ i had the arms much lower intiallyā¦!
āas you can see the first version was sooo much lower and I was like yeah no that wouldnāt work and did it higher and ahahahah in final version it got to be around š¦©ās ear since I felt like it best pushed the action of pulling. (And lol in my other adjustments, I made it even more)
āalright while I was happy with this final-ish version hmmm. I thought maybe it would be better to have neko be more 3/4 back view and tbh yeah I didnāt really know what I was doing here but I went to diff page and tried to redraw over it since it was soooo difficult trying to erase and get that more 3/4 view and it just wasnāt working cuz I realised it wouldnāt make sense either???? Iād have to change š¦©ās pose too??? I think??? Anyways instead it just turned into a redraw cleaner versionā¦? Of the pose and yeah I didnāt like it at first since with the redraw I kinda just did the overall silhouette which made it flatter
ābut I did do adjustments to nekoās other arm. making more out there so it adds to more of the fluid gesture and ah I think the reason the overall body felt flat was because it does straightā¦? and so like I made his legs more out so it looks like heās being pulled it. and I think I did it? also tried to draw in the back a bit but my gosh do I need more practice with that stuff kinda treading adding in clothes over backā¦ hmmmā¦ I need to practice some more hahaha. backs are HARD!
āanyways there was lil time of day left so I thought to get in the other part of the idea inā¦ and wellllll. Last one is the more finalised version. Had the idea of having nekoās reaction and intially trying to draw pose from diff angle is harddd but I think the way I approached it was like not the best? I just went to drawing it starting from his face and was terrible decision since I was like ??? and yeah it was def all falling apart but i still kept on scribbling it in just wanting to get the overall down. and i do think itās funny seeing it in comparison to the other version lmaooo. like???? what is even happening in the pose. trying to draw from diff angle is hard and even more especially when you donāt visualise stuff properly and just go straight into it especially LOL when this is a character interaction pose honestly.
āalso lol i did have lil character more expression face but deleted it cuz i was just????? on how to do the pose from diff angle i probs should have realised here that starting from face was terrible idea ahaha. but overall heheh best way to end day. I felt soooo accomplished n nice heheheh.

by any chance could you do a lil tutorial/process of how you draw limbs in different poses? esp. legs/thighs, your legs always look so jaunty and charming i love it but i never know what to, ,, ,,, do with mine, like where to put them so
Okay! Iām going to try to answer this best I can, but before I do, please remember I am just a humble animation student and by no means a professional artist or a seasoned expert, so this might not be the correct way to do things or be extremely accurate. This is just how I do it, and a couple tips Iāve picked up from teachers at school.
First of all, getting familiar with the anatomy of legs helps a lot! (I know this is the dreaded answer to every art question) I donāt know too much about the muscles of the legs other than the basics, so I donāt talk about them here because I donāt want to look like an idiot. Theyāre very worth studying though, especially the muscles that form the inside of the thigh and back of the calf.
Those are some leg studies I did from life in class last year, with the key parts labelled.
Chances are youāve tried to draw legs and??
Unless youāre going for a certain style, legs that look like straight tubes or 90 degree angles are gonna look a bit weird.
As you can see with the life drawings above, legs have certain natural curves and rhythms to them! None of the bones in the legs are straight or tubular, so your legs should not be either.
Sorry for the really mediocre pelvis itās not my strong suit oh god. Itās easy to characterize the legs as something like this:
Remembering that the knee is a hinge joint and that it has a sort of curved offset from the upper leg to the lower leg really helps.
So when you keep that offset in mind and apply some curves over the muscle and fat layered on top of those BEAUTIFULLY RHYTHMIC bones, you get dynamic flow in your legs. The hip (trochanter), kneecap (patella) and ankle (fibula/tibia malleolus) are good landmarks to keep in mind.
So by applying some curves, you get a softer/more dynamic/rhythmic feel to the legs that makes your figure look a lot less static even if they are standing entirely still. Itās also worth noting most people shift their weight onto one hip or another, position their feet weirdly, etc etc.
Hope that helps!
surpriseā¦.! I actually went and did it lollll and I was only planning to just prep it for future me to doā¦ but since I was already thereā¦ I thought I might as well and hmmm. thereās a lot im dissatisfied with.
āI did enlarge the redraw fix (also while looking through the Timelapse I noticed my initial first drawing wasnāt bad at allā¦?! it was only when I was drawing in legs that somehow I skeweed it up)
ābut I realised that the redraw fix was good but it wasnāt what the pose I wantedā¦ I wanted the focus to be the large tshirtā¦ and even if I had made the drawing bigger so her leg was cut off it still didnāt feel rightā¦
āand so I realised it was properly the angle or smthā¦. so I decided to just go ahead and do a redraw over and manā¦. the arms were difficult to getā¦ when I remember before with the redraw fix it didnāt at all take me long to scribble in the arms sighā¦.i need to prac my arms some more. I think itās cuz lol I kinda forgot to add in the arms when I was doing the body.,. so I did it like lastā¦. a bad habit I need to fixā¦ it did help having the ref my prev drawingā¦
āalso I def do think that I did the pelvis too high this time so I need to fix that when I go back. anyways I drew in the shirt, looked a bit of ref of how over shirts are like and hmmm it does still feel a lil dissatisfying but I at least fixed the angle problem I had beforeā¦.
āalso oh yeah I had problem with the legs.,.. so I need to practice that more. the shape of legs also I think that it would have been helpful if I drew the overall pose and then cropped it to how I liked itā¦ also I do think I might have also had trouble with the legs cuz I did the pelvis higher than its supposed to be lol.
āalso lol itās def noticeable that I drew this at an angle cuz she looks so off so thatās something to work on too but overall happy that I drew it downā¦ I do need to practice faces man thoughā¦ the faces I drew arenāt as nice looking as I want them to beā¦. also I do really do practice her hair some moreā¦. but yeah. overall im satisfied with the progress I did. <3
DAY STARTING OFF STRONGā¦.!
āokay I saw some super cute comic from diff fandom and it really got me fired up. I wanted to draw comics of MY otp. š„ŗš„ŗš„ŗ and I thought going for a more simplistic style would help with my high expectations of likensss that I canāt meet right now ššš and so I got to sketching!!!!
āhad some kind of idea and it was a very simple one and I just wentā¦.to do it. it did seem very ambitious too (with lol a big panel of holdingā¦..handsā¦ā¦.)with the FOCUS but ehhhh just yesterday I was practicing hands I would be fine. they thought<3 lolllll
āI had thoughts of changing the comic to be different but I was like nahhh this is simple letās stick with it! just go for it! I didnāt want to over complicate stuff or anything
āand so I got to overlarging the sketch and making it big so it can be the size I want it to beā¦ and so I got to drawing over it and thatās when I immediately hit a blockā¦.
āthe thing was the first rough sketch I did was so much cuter and betterā¦. I feel like when I tried to draw over itā¦.i tried to more capture likeness and then it just didnāt turn out as cute or as good as the rough sketchā¦ so obviously I had to redo that. I did try to fix it at first (seeing the diff:larger eyes extra but ehhhhh it didnāt work) so I just went to redoing it. And ah!!! this attempt was def better!!!!
āalso haā¦ā¦ā¦drawing bust shots are Hardā¦ā¦ā¦.so I tried to (during first redraw over rough sketch) to also include in bits of torso etc to see how things would look like. I remembered this video I watched that said itās best to draw things that arenāt in the shot so you can know where things are or smth. my quoting isnāt the best. anyways! it def helpedā¦. also initially wasnāt even gonna include the bit I drew to help imagine the rest so I can draw bust shotā¦ but I ended up includingā¦ I think it was good to hand in bits of the armā¦ also I remembered that theyāre were supposed to be holding hands so I had made sure to make the hand their moving to hold hands looked like that
āI donāt even wanna talk about sskās hair it was so fcking annoying. clothesā¦ā¦.im so glad that sskās clothes is very simple in this eraā¦ lolā¦ just a capeā¦. and I tried to remember to add in wrinkle since hand was movingā¦. sskkr clothes were simple tooā¦. Iāve gotten used to it while drawing a lot of Srda who wears similar to her mom š
āI went straight to lining itā¦ I didnāt even redraw over the handsā¦ was impatient lol and just wanted to get to lining the charactersā¦. and so I went! and did! and lol itās obvs I started to loose the patience lmaoo. I didnāt take that much care when it came to skkr hair and roughly lined it like I was sketching. I didnāt mind. it looked okay.
āalso crazy that I just went into lining the hands like that. my rough sketch of the hands was super rough sketch too lmaooo but somehowā¦?! it turned out wellā¦.?! this is the one im almost surprised at. I thought itād turn out way worse. I mean yeahhhhh skkās fingers over hers make no sense but skkrās turned out better than Iād hope forā¦..im really proud of themā¦. so djjdjdjd I just didnāt want to cover up with ugly skk fingers so I made his fingers still continue to not make sense š
āfinished the line art and honestly at this pointā¦..I wasnāt feeling great about the artā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.. which made me feel sadā¦. anyways I thought to add colour??
āand my GOSH do I need so much practice with color like wtfā¦.picking the right color can be so hard wtfā¦ā¦ā¦it was turning out worse and I didnāt likeeee ittt. one bitttt. but I decided to just continue and go to ssk and do his hair and THIS WHERR THINGS CHANGED!!!!!
ālike okay I was thinking what color for his hairā¦..since I did the line art dark purpleā¦.black made no sense. I usually just scribble in lines for darkness so I just decided to do the purple line art color for the hair and WHEN I LOWERED THE OPACITY A LITTLEā¦ SO I CAN BETTER SEE THE LINEART SO I CAN COLOUR IN MORE ACCURATELYā¦ TAHTS WHN THE MAGIC BEGANZZZZ
ā-I realized I can do this in MONOCOLOUR!!!!!!!!! omg I forgot that so much and by gosh, was I so happy by this discovery!!!!!!!!!ā ahhhhhh I love monocolor so muchhhhh. my fav shit. it turned this into super fun drawing. I had much fun in trying to decide the diff opacities/values of diff stuff and really āwhen I was doing his cape for the handā¦..thatās where the magic really flourishedā¦. ah it made this drawing a very happy one for meā¦ <3333
āit did still a lil empty so here I was just adjusting and trying to figure what to add and how to not make it too much and now looking back this version is totally fineā¦ā¦ahhhhhā¦..I kinda wish I kept the hearts. I did like how I scribbled it inā¦..they looked funā¦.oh well.
āalso seriously lol I gotta stop posting stuff as soon as I finish itā¦. There should be something about looking at stuff with fresh eyes but also manā¦. Iām just pretty lazy abt that lol.
āRIDING THIS HIGH!!!! I WANTED TO DO ANOTHER SS PIECE!!!! THIS TIME MORE LOOKING LIKE THEN!!!!! I had this pose/idea in mind and just went straight to sketching the idea and very happy with itā¦. it feels so nice too to just have an idea for pose and get to sketching it and be able to doing it ahhhhhh. also felt very nice when I roughly sketched it in and cleaned it up a lil like the face and stuffā¦ properly adding in some features n stuff. also hmmmm i probs should do something with sskās other armā¦.
āalso lmao I really have neglected the feet too much. I need to do something about learning them but also ahhhh I really donāt want to. also did have some struggle with trying to find out if they were sitting or what they were lying onā¦ or kneeling or whatever. floor or actual sofa/chairā¦. I need to better visualize stuff like thatā¦ also I think for me, ss in side view I think im the best inā¦ also man I really need to work on her hair a lot.
āanyways as I was doing this I had started to get a better image of like a story so I kinda wanted to turn this into a comic and while I was drawing the hair that kinda turned into a redraw of face tooā¦ I ended up trying to draw the comic bit that I wanted to include and haā¦ā¦ā¦..this where things started to fall apartā¦.. šššš my problem of deawing ss faces came back to me ššš
āand ahhh seriously I donāt know what it is. I thought maybe the noseā¦? So I tried different way but nope. itās not that. it got me so frustrated n sad I just stopped the wip there. I was already planning to pause anyways since I was getting tiredā¦ and plus trying to think of clothes was also too exhausting but sad to have to pause the wip in that momentā¦
(now looking back at this as I am uploading the images on to hereā¦ I think it might be the mouth of her face thatās the problemā¦..? also lol noticed problems with her side profile face too it looks a bit off but eh well I can always fix that later)
ā-ahhhb seriously I need to do ss face sketchesā¦. I looked at the manga to see what it is that im just getting so wrong that feels so frustratedā¦. and I think maybe the eyesā¦? is a big oneā¦? and maybe nose???? anyways I just really need to practice!!!! but forgetting that part. today start was very good!!!! im pleasantly surprised!!!!
āI want to go back to the comic sketch that I drafted yesterdayā¦. and also I want to do lots of figure pracs so I donāt go out of practiceā¦. yeahā¦.! and more hand studiesā¦ feet I canāt be asked to do. BDJFJKFKD. im just not interested into doing it and donāt care to right now even though I probs should beā¦.. 5.56
6.00 I kinda just wanna do the ss face prac right now but also I really am too tired for more art stuffā¦ Rnā¦. I just wanna take breakā¦.
ahhh feeling much better nowā¦. i approached these drawings wrongly.ll i went straight to it, without any warm ups and or going slow and doing proper construction ahahaā¦l no wonder it fell apart.
Ah fck this.,, art is so hard.,,, itās so frustrating :ā like I wanted to create some fanart for my ship and it was sooo hardā¦ā¦ā¦ I canāt evenā¦,. Thereās so much in realising I have to learn ahahahā¦.. (sob) oh man. This shit is so hard n annoying. The frustration I felt while attempting tooā¦. :ā I wanted to give up so badly aahahha.
I want to draw so badly!!!! But no!!!! forcing my self into this break.
todayās art:
āokay so I just did really VIDEOS!!!! and then went to through this rabbit hole and found.. well I guess first I should start with. I really needed to learn how arm connects to the shoulder asince I think I just forgot????and my gosh I found this super good comprehensive video that did demonstration and everything. it was really good
āhonestly after that I went through rabbit hole of seeing his other videos and then wellā¦ I found this super long skull video and was watching and then it started to do a draw with me sides of skull and I did want to follow through so I just decided to do that later when I could draw withā¦ and well then.. I just went off to do other stuff
āi donāt plan on drawing today and if i was, probs just general studies but ahaha i was on x and it really inspired to draw my otp and SO I PLANNED TO. but then it turned into redraw of someone elseās art and then into prac ahahah.
āthe first one wasnāt great at allā¦ and I just wanted to focus on the pose instead!!! and see what I was doing wrong etc. One of videos I watched made me think about that. Talking about focusing on analytic and like looking at what you drew and finding out what you did wrong and etc. And I do think that was good thing to be aware off and so I did thatā¦ and well even if I donāt think the last one turned out amazing or anything I do think it made me realise stuff. like how in the pose it was the arm that was stretching out to the kneeā¦
āand so since I liked doing this n thought was fun/nice I did another pose study! And oh man the hands were HARD tin this one I still have no idea on how to fix it and just gave up in the end lolllllllll. Arms. Arms were hard. Why do I keep saying hands when im talking about arm lollll
ābut one think I did realise that I was doing wrong was when drawing lower part, in trying to get the legs right, I forgot about the butt that was actually sitting down. and cut it off since the crouch wouldnāt be visibleā¦ and so it was helpful in remembering stuff like that. and trying to visual posing better: like it made next time to remember to think of whole pose and how it interactions with whatever itās doing and even bits that canāt be seen. like being aware of stuff like that is really important.
āand well after that wasnāt feeling like doing any more pose studies and wellā¦ I SKETCHED IN THE IDEA FOR THE COMIC I HAD???? very happy about that
āokay lol I did think of doing some kind of script but cba to and was keeping in mind this comic tips/tutorial I came by that stuck with me yesterday. for first panel I very obviously canāt draw backgrounds and just couldnāt be bothered to look up refs and just scribbled in general idea I had for it. and for the next one I tried hard to make sure my figure was reading well (to me) like the general idea I wanted for it and later in did feel in general idea of background which im happy about.
āthe initial idea that started this was the next two panels. ahaha I really just wanted to draw him being tied. canāt believe they did that. I mean I can but still lololol. and I do like the close up in next panel from diff angle. also this made me concious of how expressions aināt my strong suit lmaoooo.
āand well after that is where things started to fall apart. like I had general idea in my head of what I wanted but I feel like the pacing n etc wasnāt great at all but I think it was good to get the general idea and everything tdownā¦ so im happy that I actually sketched in the idea for comic. soooo happy. ^^
āand welllll remember juv art from yesterday. I realised after a bit that she doesnāt like she was sitting at all lololol despite that being intention. cuz I feel like I was so focused on getting the length of leg correct that I forgot that she was sitting so her knee would be higher. and well. I just wanted to fix that.
āadded a bench because why not. and honestly imā¦..not sure that I did fix it completely. It still seems offā¦? but ehhhh i got her to look like she was sitting so thatās a win.
āI wasnāt planning to draw anymore but while taking screenshot for this postā¦I ended up just drawing some figure pracs and ahahah these didnāt go well at all. it was alright. But like mabnnnn even while keeping in mind what the video said (the dots around the arm meaning to represent scapula so just to keep in mind while drawing the arm) but ehhjhhhb I feel like like my arms isnāt at alll good. like I feel like I just forgot everything. so I think itās best to watch videos of people drawing ā¦. that always helps.
āand well but I didnāt want to end it there and wanted to draw something niceā¦ā¦to finish the the day withā¦ something that would feel nice about. and yeah no that didnāt happen. ššš
āI thought while itās been a while since I drew my lil srda too<3 I should do it but yeah no. it went horribly. well thatās kind of an exaggeration. more like I justā¦? donāt likeā¦.? I think it might have to do with the brush and how out of prac I man with drawing her hairā¦ cuz man I have def drawn better srdas in my time. I feel like it might be her expression so. I changed it but it wasnāt. So I did an overdraw just because but it wasnt lollll. and I do think itās funny how her expression gets more sadder. like the way I felt (more disappointed) when drawing it LMAO
I actually like the first one drew the mostā¦ā¦ ššš
I was asked to draw a tutorial on making the body out of basic shapes, and I realized I used line segments for the limbs and spineā¦but thatās pretty basic, eh?
One thing I will say today is fck arms like seriouslyā¦ :ā they are the bane of today. I WILL CRACK ON THEM CUZ OH MY GOD ā-
ālike wtf :/ from yesterday okay so i wanted to focus on armsā¦ and i think from videos i kind of watched what helped was the shouldersā¦ i think i forget themā¦. And one thing i have trouble with the bend or whateverā¦.??? I feel like I didnāt have this much trouble but whateverā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
but lol instead of doing arm stuff I went into pose studiesā¦.? The first one I wanted to change the ref n make it more dynamic etc and wtf is the torso tbhā¦ but happy with itā¦ also looking at it now lol the arm portions suck. yeah another part that is :/ to meā¦
āanyways for the second oneā¦. It was funā¦. Trying to create stuff from the ref I sawā¦ using it a base for pose idea but I wanted to add more personality and shitā¦. Anyways I think the arms was kind of fineā¦.? Hereā¦.? But hard to draw tooo sIGH. anyways after that I just went ham in doing just arm studies. I had ENOUGH. and I wasnāt really doing it in a constructive or effective way tbhā¦ just whateverā¦ I figured maybe I drew arms for enough times I would get itā¦ā¦ā¦no that didnāt happenā¦ā¦ :ā
so I went to do the bones and heyā¦.?! maybe these might actually helpā¦?! I see that from the bonesā¦ it shows how the shape of the arms be it isā¦ with the wide point of the frontā¦ like wowā¦ and and so I tried a pose in bones where itās like bending arm above and I feel like I was getting itā¦? (especially helps to see the confusing mess thatās hard to draw of traps n deltoids bunching over when the arm twists upā¦.) I drew over it and well. Yeah. Lololll not the method but does help in seeing stuff
āand I thinkkkkkk after this one I watched a videoā¦.???? Just to refresh some parts I might have finished and at this point I still didnāt have no fcking clue to how to approach stuff and did literally whatever. and see how it goesā¦and SIGH I donāt think some of it is bad but I give up honestly. I had enough.arms fck u. itās so difficult with bending shit and I just donāt get it:/
ābut taking a breakā¦.from thisā¦. I realise that I HAVE A PAIR OF ARMS??? And I can do more obersvation and tracing; since the problem is portions and the bumps of arms and shit and bending in diff posss that get to me. So then: I should do more observational now and just observe and use my arms too like right now: how my arm is bending when im holding my phone. just thinking and being aware of stuff like that: my upper arm resting against my torsoā¦ bending upward in that kind of angleā¦ and just being aware of that and visualing helps a lotā¦!!!! and itās a good exercise because itās quite literally my arm and I can just feel it out even I donāt see it. and one things I do even if im not artāing physically and especially did a lot during the early times of this serious art journey is trying to imagine and construct the pose in my mind and how I would draw it in my mind. since my visuallinh is really good, I can draw stuff in my mind and think deeply and I think that observating other arts I can see and just photos and also feeling out how my arms work when i do stuff is how I should go about this for now. when all feel like itās failing, falling back on observation is really helpful..!!!!!
ahhhā¦ I want to cry :ā today art no goodā¦ arghhhhh
wowā¦ jan25 endā¦ā¦ canāt believe it. already! but alsoā¦. it did feel a bit slow but also feels like wowā¦ already end..
anyways! I really did manage to draw something for all of Jan except for one day ššš some days more productive than others. but hmm. towards the endā¦ definitely was on slower end.
