Pretherox - Art School Journey

[Pretherox]

Hi, I'm Pretherox. Here, i will update my progress as I keep practicing to better my drawing. I had always love to draw but lost the impulse around 10 years ago, yet, I had always still love art. I had regained the spark for drawing, and I want to get better at it, so that's why i'm here. I hope we all have our share of fun around here. ^^

Welcome to the blog slog!!!

I had been working on this for a few days, trying to get used to the tablet. Is very different and I feel very rusty, but will keep trying.

This is not an original, I just took a picture I liked and copy it by eye as a model.

I had been working on this for a few weeks, an opportunity to learn how to use the ribbon tool and do my first digital drawing with actual color. A friend of mine had told me to try add it depth with shadows so I'm going to try that.
PS: the art idea isn't mine. I just redraw a picture I liked on a video, but hadn't been able to find where is posted. The original artist is @ino__shi

Oh well... I haven't been active for a while, and I got a bit tired of dragging behind even tough I really want to improve.
I had been doing one of Marc Brunet's 30 days exercises practice, and i'm at day 17 from it. And now that I feel a bit more confident too, I'm going to copy some things I like like this one I'm working on.

The character is Shiori Fuyumura, from the anime Sanda.
I liked her gloomy, intimidating appearance, so i'm drawing her for a starter.
This is the progress i got from today, taking me around 1h.

I kinda finish the sketch... Not sure what step should I try next. Maybe clean the lines, put them in proper capes and then try add color.
I mostly haven't touch color a lot on Clip Studio, but I'll try.

Finished day 18 from the drawing exercise challenge.

Had clean the lines today. Next step... color! which i'm not very confident, but this is kinda the point of all this XD

Color time! It took me too much time to do so little, but is what happens when you are unfamiliar with the process I guess. Still, It looks good to me at least.
I had some help at the last moment for the eyes.
