now. But I can’t. I have to stop. Because this stupid fucking body I’ve always hated is falling apart

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I really fucking hate this bullshit. It’s one thing quitting because I either want to stop or don’t care to continue. But I DO want to keep going. I DO want to keep drawing. I DO want to see what my art is like years from.

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

ARGH YOU STUPID FUCKING AUTOCORRECT DRAWING NOT SEARING

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Can’t play games like I want to (have to be a lot more selective, and controller only). Can’t fucking draw. Ugh. It’s not even a strength problem, resistance band exercises shown me my left arm/shoulder is stronger than the right. (Ok it could still be, but right side isn’t as jacked up) 🫩

002

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Not even a new kind of jacked up. Not dissimilar from what happened when this bullshit started in late January. Using keyboard and searing pull the muscles the same way??? So??? Anyway yeah I’m pissed off

202

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

1) lying on my sides more 2) drawing (left handed) 3) resistance bands (I’m doing exercises wrong?) 4) not doing enough pectoral stretches (I remember this one helped, but I’m still doing them??)

001

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

At the very least taking Monday off, we’ll see on Tuesday. I don’t fucking get it, why??? Why The fuck Is this happening? What the fuck did I do? I’m using resistance bands to try and strengthen them, but idk if it’s enough yet. There’s only 4 things I can think of

102

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Non zero chance I need to give up. Not because I want to. Not even because I don’t enjoy it. But because my shoulder is kind of getting jacked up and I need to test if this is why. I’m so fucking upset about this fucking shit. I fucking do my physiotherapy but it might not be enough right now.

203

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I have noticed something neat. 30s gestures went from this: bsky.app/profile/ashw... Into actual forms: I mean they’re rushed as hell. But you can at least roughly tell what’s going on.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Also I think the head isn’t actually finished, top of head is missing lol. Also struggling apply construction to rest of body.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

To be fair to myself, it would look a fair bit better if you couldn’t see the head construction. But alas this is the limitations of physical using a single 0.5mm fineliner

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

I think this: bsky.app/profile/alex... Is still better But there’s a fundamental difference, this was freehand from reference, the one I linked was draw directly over a transparent screenshot digitally.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Day 10? Can share everything today. + suppose 1st actual drawing. Construction is a fucking mess, felt like havent got handling of that yet + gesture being a mess. Fineliner doesn’t help, only so much pressure control can practice. I don’t want to talk about the hair. I input no effort there lol.

5 gestures with no fixed time limit.
Another 5 with a strict 30 second time limit.

Another 10 gestures with a fixed 30 second time limit.

5 heads, a few boxes, couple circles, one attempt at a cylinder (no experience or learning yet) and a series of line control practice in a grid.

A few buttholes for practice and a drawing of what is supposed to be a wolf woman.

The body isn’t too bad for my skill level, but head needs a lot of work.

The less said about the hair the better, I didn’t even bother there lol.

Yesterday I was asked in how I do snouts. So I went and made a more or less my process on drawing a whole werewolf head in profile #Werewolf #tutorial #art

This is what I used and was able to help me start getting a grasp of human heads youtu.be/1EPNYWeEf1U?... I do know another specifically about furry heads but idk if that one is helpful yet lol.

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

With a reference mind you, but still.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Heads are my problem area right now. I think I have enough skill to go for the body at least. Again, not well, but it’s about even being able to at all.

210

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Censored stuff based on others work. Mostly attempts at head construction using loomis method So some gestures and heads Also lines because I wanted to fill the page and couldn’t be bothered doing anything more lol

011

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Yes my goal is to draw hot animal people banging. Like I said , cheaper than commissioning. Time is cheaper than money (even if it’s worth more)

142

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

And then idk, maybe take a frame from porn and try that again?

110

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Construction still gonna be a mess though. Supposedly it eventually gets buried under detail but that’s entirely another skill level than my current goal, that’ll be later.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I’ve said it before , the problem isn’t being bad, it’s having the minimum amount of skill to even be bad.

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A human head I can kind of do now. Technique isn’t quite there yet (not just quality, actually understanding where frames go (Loomis method) and the face is another matter entirely. I think I need to try animal heads and compare them to more human heads. Muzzles are a little more tricky.

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I feel like I’m close. Not quite there yet but close.

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Felt okay enough to do gestures (10 from reference) Still have no clue what I’m doing, can’t really tell if my technique is right. Also spent 20 mins on a page of some rudimentary faces (at least attempting), trying butts, and backsack. Dunno if I’ll share those since technically based on others

111

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Even more annoying cuz it wasn’t specifically like this for a while , I have some suspicions why (both length of time and cause), but it’s purely conjecture.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Hmm neck is playing up I don’t know if it’s a flare up or a regression 😭 Soo I might slow down or temporarily stop Which is really annoying cuz I need to make a habit and this is breaking it. But physio comes first. Sorry

102

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

I think try to copy others heads for now? At least something, until I get enough of a hang to understand what to do. I’ve got no clue what but anything is still forwards

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Question. I’m stuck on gestures, where do I go from that?? Like this is what I mean when I say I don’t have minimum skill yet. Ok I can do gestures. Do I build a figure over that? Do I try head tutorials and implement that over figure drawing??? (Also doing this with a 0.5mm fineliner).

002

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Lmao the butt looks like a figure in and of itself lol

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Tried to use more curved lines instead of straight. Didn’t work for all of them, but some of them don’t look too bad.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Still no idea what I’m doing. I attempted torso studies but didn’t go well and got bored lol. 10 gestures from ref 5 from imagination. Then a page of just random doodles and boxes

5 more gestures from reference. Another 5 from imagination.

Page of random doodles.
Some (poor) attempts of chest studies.

A penis

A bunch of boxes

One gesture

An attempt of a backside, featuring backsack and butthole.

200

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I dunno tbh I think for now, purely gestures until I can figure out what to do 10 from reference 10 from imagination About 1 min each? We’ll see with the timing.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Also I’m currently using 0.5mm fineliner, should I get a smaller one for undersketching or whatever it’s called? Like 0.1mm or 0.05? (Or would 0.2 or 0.3 be enough?) Also should I get a red one for redlining?

001

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

I know it’s stereotype that fledgling artist don’t know anything, but how exactly do I study 👉👈 Like I know I need to learn heads and torsos, but like, how exactly do I do that, do I get a bunch of refs and break them down into simple shapes? Just recreate them a bunch until it clicks? Or what?

011

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Biggest problem I can see is it’s very rigid, not a lot of curvature, so it’s not a smooth flow like it should.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Noooo my cute little sunrise next to my name is gone 😞

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

For studies I should get references of the specific body part and break them down into basic shapes right?

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Maybe move up to 1m? That way I can do the rest of the body so it’s not just stick?

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

It’s under 30s at least, so it’s a start. I should probably do more in that case though.

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Think first fineliner might be dying. It’s part of a multipack so it’s fine. This is more what gestures are supposed to look like right??? Obviously they’re way worse, but I’m trying for technique over accuracy? Or should I go back to how I’m doing? Took that advice? away from a video, so I dunno

210

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Yeah I’m taking tomorrow off. If only BECAUSE I FORGOT TO DO LAUNDRY LAST WEEK

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

That an a bigger book/pad. A4 seems smalls now I’m using it. But I have a second A4 book (since it came as a bundle of 2). A2 seems fun but that’s gonna be big (and expensive). Probably A3 but that’s gonna take a while at the rate I’m going.

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Ugh I’m using 0.5mm fine liner for everything so I can’t really vary line weight too much. I think I need thinner ones, but I dun wanna (that shit costs money)

100

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Maybe start with cylinders and spheres? (And brushing up on my boxes). Currently all the shapes I draw are 2d, I think i need to eventually start trying to visualise stuff in 3d???

000

Ash Wolfe @ashwolfeworks.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

Hmmmm As much as I’d rather avoid it studying head and torso makes the most sense right now. Get busts down first, then graduate to the rest of the body.

Anyone know a good place for gathering refs of specific body parts for study? That also doesn’t allow or contain “AI” generated shit.
