YAS ONTO THE ACTUAL DRAWING THANK FRIKK
-falls over-
Graphic designing and photo manipulation are my least favorites.
Glad to have them out of the way... -sighs in relief-

I already know these basics of anatomy so I'm going to jump ahead with just making sure I apply figure drawing. I know I never do it enough in the first place. Last time I did it, it took a while to get in the flow of ignoring details, and I wound up with this oldie when I finally succeeded:

So I have no clue how I'm gonna post the every day gesture/figure drawing without it being a bit convoluted in space here, so I think I might just archive links and add each day to the previous post.

Also, @marc your perspective lessions are on point. You are the first person to ever get me to finally understand perspective.... and I thank you so much for that...

Side note: I still hate drawing buildings but I'll do my best, as well.

Looking good! Yeah I used to use Monoprice but it died on me so easily. I got a small Intuos after that, and it was much better. Good for you working around your obstacles, looking forward to seeing more.

BAD NEWS BEARS

I accidentally slit up my drawing hand's index finger.
Idk how long it'll be until I can grip a pen with it [well], since idk how long it's gonna take to heal.

Good news, I don't need stitches.

I'm letting myself down big time; right when I started to get healthy and overcome these illnesses. -sighs heavily-

M'kay that's an update from this klutz; use my bad luck as a warning to yours to stay good. <3

oh no dude, :c get well soon :bangbang: well be waiting for some more good content from ya but dont stress bout it :frog: :revolving_hearts:

@finny That's awesome to hear :smiley: Looking forward to checking out the assignments for it!

My hand isn't fully finished healing, and I've been having this unfortunate crisis about what I want to achieve as an artist, and what career I want/should pursue. It's something I've never fully looked into, with a lot of melodrama and control from my family as to what is "worth my time and what can get the most money", as problematic as that is.

I am working on making a manga, but have been a bit too anxious to start any progress beyond character images.
And to be honest, I'm apparently being really stubborn about the gesture drawings. I'll get to starting them up again this week though.

Thanks to you if you read this kinda long update-y thing I feel like I need to explain to you guys for my bad/poor interactions at this current time.
Art socializing is very new to me, despite how doing art for so long hasn't been.

ANYWAY srsly if anyone wants to chat about/beyond the class and art, I really am happy and open to doing so in all the socially available platforms I'm on, okay? For when I disappear here from social anxiety.

Thank you...!! It's sweet of you to say that it is good content. I'm so nervous about whether I'm underperforming or not with comparisons to the others, which is a habit I wish I knew how to kill.
I hope I don't let others down, but I am unsure of what expectations are had of me.

Yeah, man your content is good :frog: :ok_hand: :ok_hand: , Try not to compare yourself too much my dude were all here to learn plus if you do your best that's all that matters right? Try not to sweat it too much man were all here to help each other out. :frog: :two_hearts:

I'm so thankful for you guys being so open and kind. Srsly, I have this really bad school anxiety and so any sort of class thing, even online, I end up spiralling. I'm glad that this has been rather good for me so far.

Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for top-down perspective. I really like the feeling of being closed off from everything, in your own safe box.

Sketch application of the studies in a more portrait format.

-song looped while sketching-

I'm like, looking at the picture and I should've added more trash and garbage around Finnabun, to showcase the isolation way better with how mentally ill they are.

Have a list of all the stuff I'm currently working on:

I know it's not all class work, but it /is/ artwork that shows different studies I'm applying moreso together, rather than one at a time, since right now I have an understand of what is being taught this first term.

What is anatomy?? I'll find out; I'm still figuring what sort of clothing I'm goign to put on each character... usually this sort of artwork has lots of drapery and cloth, though the characters I'm doing don't, so I'm pondering a lot of stuff.
-sits and thinks-

clean up of rough lines plus the planning of creases and folds
her umbrella idk if it's gonna be closed yet or not
probably my last update for the night I ought to go to bed now -sweats-
