@snakker Thanks for sharing your drawing process on Procreate. This gives me a good idea of how my own drawing process should look like.
@br00dley I love your idea! In fact, when I first looked at your comment, I decided to study a sword from reference. I found it really enjoyable as opposed to landscapes.

This past week has been a mess. With being so close to the end of this year, business has picked up quite a bit, and, as a result, I have been pretty busy. On top of that, focusing on more than just one goal has caused me to output work without consciously learning from it, that is, drawing for the sake of doing so. In light of this, I have decided to limit the number of weekly commitments to just one oer week as well as limit the number of study materials to just one reference per day. Hopefully, not only will this allow me to actual learn from my work but also make it enjoyable. And here's what I worked on the last week...

Head studies (plus hair):

Asset studies (sword in perspective):

Next week's commitment: Study texture and volume of hair, and how it interacts with gravity

Hi everyone! Let me start by saying that I have never felt as happy about posting my art progress as I have for this week. My renewed approach to delivering on a single commitment a week kept me motivated and geared my focus toward learning. I learned a lot more about how to draw hair from this week than all the other weeks combined. I attribute this positive outcome to my prioritization of studying the form and volume of hair ALONE. Apart from my studies, I watched lots of videos, namely vods from Kaycem and Mike Mattesi on how to draw hair—they were instrumental in my learning. I now present to you this past week's work:
