I'll put the nice, pleasant, non-violent drawing on top so the gross one (hopefully) ends up under the 'view rest'.

There's a garbage boy (descriptor, not his profession) in Dark Souls who murders someone. I finally caught up with him.

(I just realized the lighting makes it look like a play. That's fun. I blame Hamilton.)

Trying to hold it together long enough to do something digital with along side my normal work. I have not missed a day of 100 hands and 100 feet for a month or two now. I've moved on to working in a gigantic 600 page novelty sketchbook for those studies, and they are slowly beginning to help me. I have troubles visualizing when I draw, which is part of the reason drawing has been such trouble for me for so long. I excelled at learning the tools to work digitally at a very early high school age, but my drawing skills were not up to snuff. I got good at pixel art and vector art, and that allowed me to disguise my lack of decent draftsmanship, while liberal usage of reference material allowed me to make up for the lack of anatomy, perspective and other drawing fundamentals.

In the year or so I have been on hiatus:

• I learned to gesture draw while constraining my strokes to arcs, S curves and straight lines
• I improved my ability to draw from observation by learning the lattice/envelope method of observing where things are in relation to one another
• I learned several sets of key muscle groups in the back, legs, arms, shoulder girdle and neck
• I learned the basics one, two and three point perspective, including how to judge where my multiple vanishing points should go to minimize distortion
• I began to learn the basic proportions of hands and feet, as well as learning basic strategies for drawing these things
• Increased my drawing endurance by slowly increasing my practice load over time
• Improved my draftsmanship with dynamic drawing exercises I found, integrating them into my figure drawing and extremity drawing drills
• Identified the fundamentals of drawing in order to break down what I should be doing to increase my strengths in each as needed

I still don't quite feel like I've got a handle on what I'm doing, but some things that used to flummox me are easier for me to handle now. I'll put something digital up here anyway. Even with all the practice, it's still hard to get anything done in a reasonable time from my imagination.

I need to lay down.

A Black and White comic sort of style for good measure!

AWW YISS finally got around to getting a digital set-up!

this was just something to get me familiar with the program again. i used sai a long time ago before my old laptop died on me.
