TERM 1, WEEKS 6 AND 8, Environment Drawing Study and Daily Nude Figure assignment 6 (2+5 minutes)

I realized that my work schedule is too short, so I decided to wake up much earlier than usual (before sunrise; about 4:30 AM. I usually wake up at 6 AM) to draw for 90+ minutes and every day (except for Sunday). Not fun, but it pays off.

• Environment Drawing:

Copied the following (in order):
1. Royal Capital from Frieren
2. Kivotos from Blue Archive
3. Greenhouse from Maria-sama ga Miteru

Reused Monjirou's method to do these. Kivotos took the longest time for me to copy - roughly more than a week (if I didn't change my schedule it would take even longer).

And just like with the character linearts, I probably won't have the time to copy more environments, but if I can, I will (don't count on it though).

• Gesture Drawing:

Used different reference photos this time around. Rather than just doing 5-minute gesture drawings in one week and then 2-minute GD's in the next, I decided to do both simultaneously. It felt (and probably will continue to feel) quite satisfying, because I can immediately compare the two results.

Anyways! I suppose it's time for me to finally move on to Term 2 after a year of lagging progress...

TERM 2, WEEK 1 Assignments

• Photoshop 2 Assignment A

Clip Studio Paint has a lot of features that share the same functionality as Photoshop, but also lacks a few equivalents - fortunately they can be substituted.

I found myself thinking of certain games by InnerSloth and certain tokusatsu characters (hence the title).
