Welcome to the Journey. I just want to say that you mention in one of your pictures that "this was the last drawing before I quit."
When you do something and then stop, then do it again just at a later date, that is not quitting. You never quit, you took a break.
It's ok to fail and then try again, but when you stop trying, that's when you have quit.

I stopped doing art 25+ years ago.. did I quit? Nah, I've always loved art and drawing and years later I'm trying again. Just remember that. Quitting is NEVER trying again.

Thank you for your inspiring words!
Back then I was often frustrated about making mistakes, terrible drawings etc.
That mindset lead me to taking a long break.
I am learning to enjoy the process and have come to realise that without mistakes and failures, there is no learning.
This time, I hope to continue to try my best until I reach my goals,
Have a good one mate!

For exercise 2, I made the shadows in the water too bright.

Extra Art: Gesture drawings / 3rd + 4th April (mixture of 30s, 1min, 2min)

Very nice studies!, Though if you find yourself sometimes struggling with gesture drawing, don't feel ashamed in adding an extra 15 seconds or so.
Keep grinding that sweet Art EXP!.
