Sprint Retrospective #7 of 2024 - (11/3/24 - 24/3/24)
Just when I thought I finished one holiday, I got another one coming up! This time, I'm going back to my parent home country, China, to meet up with other family members and commemorate my grandpa who sadly has passed away when I was young.
Alas, that's mean that I won't do much art study for next sprint- just travel and chat with others in my poor Chinese speaking skill lol (I don't speak Chinese despite my background because my English back in primary school sucks which requires more attention than Chinese).
So we may have an idea of my upcoming schedule.
Anyway, let go thru my past 2 weeks.
TD Commission
Haven't done much as I was pretty busy most of the nights and haven't got the energy to work on this.
I'm planning to chat with my commissioners about my holiday leave and upcoming schedule.
Carazar Study
Continued my artist study. Starting to feel the study effect on my doodle as I feel more flowy and more gestural - especially with my fashion doodle drawing which is coming next. 
Still planning to continue studying this artist till I'm satisfied that I got everything possible from that artist.
Others
Continued with my random fashion/sport doodle. Starting to rely less on being accurate as I just go with the flow of the pose/expression - much like the art study I have done.
Yeah, feeling like I got my style as I started to rely less on reference and just go what I had in my mind/feeling instead. Of course, I still use reference to make sure I got it mostly right but I feel it's my interpretation - not what the defined style demand so.
Goals for upcoming sprint
Given that I'm going back and staying in China for the whole sprint, I'm going to do something special.
DO NOTHING!!!
That's right! Fck all of you guys! 
I'm going to China and just enjoy practicing my awful Chinese skill. Wish me luck!
But nah really, thx for the positive comments and I see you guys when I'm back!
The Total Drama studies look good. Have fun on your trip.
LMAOO have fun lol
Yo, despite having little bandwith this looks good! Indeed, your gestures and expressions are looking nice and spicy!
Bests of luck in China! bring some souvenirs back!

Sprint Retrospective #8 - 10 of 2024 - (25/3/24 - 5/5/24)
Hola! It's been nearly 2 MONTHS!? Damn, I was out for so long that I didn't have the time to actually sit down in my bedroom and use my digital tablet. So this is where I was:
- China from 27/3 till 11/4
- Work trip from 19/4 till 23/4
- Family Trip (due to Anzac Day which is an Australia national public day) from 25/4 till 28/4
Don't need to calculate but I'm pretty sure I have barely enough time to do some digital drawing at all lol (Between China and Work trip, I have to come back and get updated which involves working at some delayed work at nights)
Anyway, lemme provide some update on key works.
TD Commission
Nothing much.. better get going before the commissioner knock on my online door.
Carazar Study
After nearly 2 months of studying, I feel that I have gained a lot but more importantly, enough to integrate my learning material to my artwork. I could go through more study of his work but I feel I have reached a point of diminishing return.
So out goes one artist. The next artist I'm looking toward to is AtomicKingBoo. I have already studied that artist before but feel I need more practice to get more.

AtomicKingBoo link - https://twitter.com/AtomicKingBoo
Overall stuff I learnt from Carazar artwork
- His work consist of geometric shape (e.g. rectangle) but push it to the limit (one of Disney principle in squashing and stretching)
- His work very clearly defined which object is in front of other object (e.g. hat over glasses)
- His work of character costume looks simplistic but has vibrant colour and pattern to keep it interesting
- His work of playing around perspective encourages me to also have a go too - as Total Drama is not known for its 3D portrayal or other angles of interest.
Those 4 points are the most insightful points that I want/have incorporate in my art process.
Others
Simpson
It wasn't like I didn't do art at all during my holiday. In my China holiday, I was often stuck at home (due to heavy flooding) or stuck in the train due to flood. So at those time, I go through Simpson cartoon book PDF and learnt more about their creation.
As I don't have any portable digital stuff with me, I did my practice all on A5 notebook. Here are some sketches
Also, I have decided to do a Simpson art gift for one of my friends who is a huge Simpson fan. This could either go really well or hellfire for me! 
Current Draft
So wish me well. 
TD Doodle
Watching NBA Playoff while doing those doodle. Shame my Magics couldn't win the final game against the Cavs.
Goals for upcoming sprint
- Simpson art gift (due by this weekend)
- Get to grip with TD commissions
- Start with art study of atomickingboo
Been some time since I last visit so gonna visit some art blogs at my spare time and see how slow I am compared to you guys! Thanks for reading!
Seems you've been busy man, but it's good to hear it all seems going well (floods not withstanding).
I never knew TD was that expansive xD. I'm learning more about it through your study points.
Simpson sketchs look great, and the more TD art and sketches you share the more it's growing on me. I do like your take on it even better than the references though, probably because there are several pretty girls in there xD.
