legs, how do they work?

I just thought it might be more fun and more insightful if I try the upper half of the body without consulting a tutorial first.

This is such an attempt, so I guess I will follow a tutorial tomorrow...

It has been 588 days of consecutive, laborious study from me. I've gone through highs and lows. I've overtaxed myself plenty of times, even to the point of injury. I have been trying to repair systemic issues with my ability to draw because I owe four clients commission work from way back in early 2015, and I can't allow myself to proceed without making good on those. I ended up taking things to an unhealthy place lately and burnt out completely, but still continuing to draw on paper...

Today, I got 10 feet drawn. No hands, no figures. I'm exhausted. I feel lost and alienated from the very audience I was trying to rebuild myself to please. I gave up a whole lot of myself to maintain the kind of drawing training I do every day with taking care of my family, my jobs and all that still going. I'm not going to stop or miss a day, but... I'm slowing down a bit.

A submission for Daily Art Club

By popular demand, I included the icky bloody drawings under the 'view rest'. Blame Stephan and Moma. Those are the first and third attempts (out of four attempts; I was being stubborn haha.)

Decided to try and paint these two (still thinking of other color schemes, though).
