One thing i try to do is never have a day where I do no art. Even itf its just opening photoshop and drawing a circle, I at least do that to keep my engine running and my mental good. It probably sounds stupid but it does help me. It can be hard to give advice on this and everyone has a different level of tolerance for practice. Personally I just listen to my body each day, do as much as I can and when my body is telling me it needs to rest I slow down. So I do at least something every day, and as much as my body will allow me to comfortably. I don't know if that helps and I think it will be different for everyone but thats my mindset.

I'm back. Very little drawing recently.
But i have a choice between self-flagelating and judging myself for not drawing everyday.
or give myself a break, not give up and keep trying.
here are the gesture drawings for today.

That's a very important mentality to have! We may not always be perfect, and fall off the road sometimes, but it's important to just keep moving forward instead of beating ourselves up for it, as that'll only make us want to give up. Good work!

Forgot to post recently.
Here's the stuff from the last few days.
The proportion exercise, but this one without looking at ref.
The 1-P living room. It's my living room, but sci-fi! This one was really fun.

But also this week i took the time to work on a couple of commissions. The emoji's for a Twitch Channel, and an RPG character, which i doubled up to be my Chroma Corp entry. Oh yeah; Chroma Corp is back! you can still enter the Art competition. Is anyone joining?

Sinix actually saw my Chroma Corps entry and gave some feedback. So i made some changes!
Desaturating the lower half, skirt and boots, focusing more on 3 colors, removing the green belt. Changing the background (though im really bad at that), but i think it works better.

Even more fixes. im alot happier with it, again. Friends gave me great advice. I think now im reaching diminishing returns, so i will move to the next drawing. The angles, the proportions, Head and foot and other details feel better now. Feedback is welcome.

Really lovely work with the perspective piece! I love the casual gattling gun just chilling on the counter!

I love how you used different colors in your sketches, so they're very easy to read :smiley:
... I think I'll steal this method hehehe

Also you're lines are pretty clean, very well done 👍🏼
