Hi, everyone!

This blog is going to continue my "Daily Sketch" project which I started on the 19th April 2015 (posting everything my Facebook (if you're interested)) :smiley:

I use the daily sketch to test ideas/ learn sth new/ test new media/ test new methods and won't focus mainly on finishing paintings with much detail.
Also to not lose the habit to draw/paint everyday. :wink:

So here it goes and hopefully never stops! Hope you enjoy this!

DS #530: Testing new methods in Photoshop.
Started with a linesketch for the face then painted the black background while trying to draw the sillhouette with pure black.
Tools: PS CC, Wacom Intuos Pro M

Her body looks manly but I really like that in this painting.

That's because that person is male :wink: I drew it more feminine on purpose because "he" is supposed to be androgynous. :smiley:
And thank you :wink:

DS #531:
Mainly sketching today. Trying to work on my rendering flow and tried to sketch some gestures with basic skeletons.

Notes: Gotta refresh my skeleton anatomy before jumping back into muscles (foundation) and work on skin tones.

Love the looseness/confidence in your sketches! Keep it up :smiley:

Thank you very much! I'm trying to use every tool like it's putting ink down (no erasing) forcing myself to keep form and gesture in mind. Going to keep it up as long as I am able to :smiley:

DS #535: Inktober drawing 3 from yesterday and inktober 4 from today. Getting used to the Pentel Brush Pen again. Still hard to use :smiley:

@stealcase I edited my first post with my fb link if you've not founb it yet and thank you very much!

@byot Thank you so much. Yeah I love to improve my foundations and practice that most of my time which results in me not really having any "finished" artworks that I could put into my portfolio page, haha^-^
Also I'm trying to visualize the most with as few strokes as possible if you know what I mean :smiley:

DS #536: Today I picked up on gesture studies again. I feel reaally really rusty and have to keep doing this everyday from now on...
Too many "useless" strokes and not enough flow

Tools: Pentel Brush Pen on paper

Man this is the sort of stuff I wish I could make myself do. Studies, new techniques, not worrying about final results just trying to get better. 500+ days is very impressive, you're an inspiration.
