@notquitewrite.com finally got to my daredevil episode, and it went about as well as I expected (shouldn't have said they weren't harsh enough last time...) But one of the best parts of any episode of the podcast also came to be. Just check the last minute of the episode. You can thank me later 🤣

Day 89! I'm gonna be totally honest. I don't think I can keep this up with how much schoolwork I have right now... Once I fill this sketchbook, I'm going to make it every other day instead of daily. Anyway, here's a monster concept: the Headless Mask! #art #traditionalart #monster #mask #greyscale

Day 88! Late posting again 😅 Anyway, I tried using a different drawing style today (read yesterday XD) and this is what I ended up with. I hope you like demons watching you... #art #drawing #traditionalart #greyscale #manga #demon #horns #girl #dailysketch #practice #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 87! Tried to combine the #anatomy #practice with the monster designs, so I settled on a #dullahan. Made it psychic to make it less cliche (also, I'm really tired and not in the mood to struggle with hands today...) #art #traditionalart #greyscale #manga #monster #design #dailysketch #feedback!

Day 86! Well, it's been a full week since I did any real #fullbody #anatomy sketches. Drawing crazy and abstract things just comes more naturally to me I guess. Anyway, I'm back to drawing humans and I still hate hands... #art #traditionalart #OC #dress #girl #greyscale #manga #practice #dailysketch

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 12/09/2025

Day 85! Another monster design for today! Not entirely sure what it is though this time... All I can say for sure is that there is something very wrong about whatever it is I drew. #art #drawing #traditionalart #manga #greyscale #design #monster #alien #horror #practice #dailysketch #beginnerartist

Day 84! I passed out last night and forgot to post my work 😅 Anyway, I decided on something I hadn't done before: anthropomorphic animals (yes, furries). I went with a cobra, mostly because I have had an instance of drawing snakes before. #art #traditionalart #OC #cobra #snake #dailysketch #practice

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 10/09/2025

Day 83! Decided to try and draw a #reactionface for the first time, and I kinda like it! Who knows, maybe I'll make a meme with it 😂 (if you actually feel like you can do it, feel free to use it!) #art #traditinalart #drawing #greyscale #exaggerated #goblin #stylized #dailysketch #beginner #practice

Day 82! Really exhausted today, so I just threw together a side profile with some uncanny valley properties and called it a day! #art #traditionalart #greyscale #sideprofile #uncannyvalley #wrongproportions #beginnerartist #dailysketch #practice

Day 81! Back to my default #traditionalart! I'll revisit digital in the future, but it's best I focus on one thing at a time. Anyway, I felt like I hadn't drawn anything with stuff happening in it lately, so here's the Creature Behind the Cracked Window! #art #manga #horror #design #crack #glass

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 07/09/2025

Day 80! I happened to get my hands on a tablet today, so I gave into the temptation and tried out #digitalart, and I have one main statement on this method of drawing: Where the fuck is the damned friction?!? #art #drawing #greyscale #portrait #firsttime #dailysketch #seriously_where_is_the_friction

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Day 79! Wanted to take a break from perspectives today, and I wanted to do another monster concept, but wanted to make it different from my usual designs, so here we have the Indentured Angel! #art #drawing #traditionalart #manga #sketch #angel #monsterdesign #practice #anatomy #beginner #daily

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 05/09/2025

Day 78! Decided to push the #perspective #practice forward and tried a more dynamic angle. It was tough, but it came out better than I expected, so totally worth it 😁. Here's the drawing of someone you should never trust. #art #traditionalart #dynamic #boy #untrustworthy #dailysketch #beginnerartist

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 03/09/2025

Day 76! This is probably the fastest portrait I've drawn. Again, no references, since I started so late. All in all, I'm happy with the outcome! #art #drawing #traditionalart #manga #greyscale #bust #portrait #girl #earring #perspective #pose #anatomy #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 01/09/2025

Day 74! Keeping up the #perspective practice today, but also combining it with my #pose and #anatomy practice! Special thanks to @100kbaddrawings.bsky.social for the tips they gave me, it helped a lot! #art #traditionalart #manga #greyscale #sword #girl #practice #dailysketch #feedbackplease

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 31/08/2025

Day 73! Focusing on my perspective problems right now while trying to keep the drawing speed up, so here you go! A randomly made character from my brain, at a 3/4 angle. #art #drawing #traditionalart #greyscale #OC #design #boy #bust #perspective #practice #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedback

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 30/08/2025

Day 72! Too exhausted to really think today, so I just threw shapes together and then continued drawing it, until it ended up with what I can best describe as an undead mech. #art #traditionalart #design #monster #random #dailysketch #beginnerartist #horror #feedbackplease #practice

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 29/08/2025

Day 71! An entirely freehand sketch with no references. The most important part though, is that I tried a new method for the anatomy, and it worked so much smoother! So here's a redesign of my OC from day 4! (She's an adult in this version). #art #manga #OC #anatomy #practice #dailysketch #girl

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 28/08/2025

Day 70! A fast sketch today. I tried to approach my current biggest problem: handling perspective. It's decent for how quickly and reference-less I drew, but I've got a long way to go... #art #drawing #traditionalart #priestess #anatomy #perspective #practice #daily #sketch #greyscale #beginner

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Day 69! I had gone way too long without horror, and I decided to try and apply my newly acquired understanding of anatomy to it as well. So here's a monster design for you! Here roams Something Wicked. #art #design #horror #monster #drawing #daily #dailysketch #original #greyscale #manga #beginner

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

Day 68! Back to drawing and practicing the most infuriating of human parts: the hands... Still, I had to add something more and add a story element to it, and thus I ended up with a drowning statue! #arr #drawing #traditionalart #mangastyle #greyscale #dailysketch #hand #anatomy #practice #beginner

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

Day 66! Another quick sketch! Wanted to see if I have a better grasp on eye positions now, and I think it's gotten much better! #art #drawing #traditionalart #greyscale #manga #practice #positioning #anatomy #eyes #position #duality #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 23/08/2025

Day 65! Wanted to practice drawing hair today, so the sketch ended up being really quick. Had to add some background as well, cause of course 😜 #art #drawing #tradotionalart #mangastyle #greyscale #eye #dragon #fantasy #hair #anatomy #practice #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 64! Really exhausted today, so this is all I could muster myself to draw... #art #traditionalart #dailysketch #practice

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 21/08/2025

Day 63! I actually have 100 followers now, which is insane to me; so, I drew something special today, a pivotal scene from my WIP #horror story about the #Piper. While it prefers to #possess only Its Favorite, It is willing to control those It finds intriguing. Find the #OC, Elowen on day 10! #art

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Day 62! It's been a while since I paid any attention to the very first OC's I drew, so I decided it's time to bring out a page from the battle between Shadow and Maad (I've redesigned the latter) OG sketches on days 1 & 2! #art #sketch #manga #OC #traditionalart #battle #obsession #daily #practice

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 19/08/2025

Day 61! I might have fallen asleep before uploading yesterday's drawing... So here it is! A quick pose+anatomy practice. I think I need to focus on perspectives for a while to get this right... #art #drawing #traditionalart #greyscale #anatomy #pose #practice #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedback

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Day 60! Just had to go back to my horror/psychology themes today. Sometimes we're trapped by our own sense of self... (and yes, I have a thing for eye motifs) #art #drawing #traditionalart #greyscale #eye #hand #prisoner #trapped #escape #senseofself #dailysketch #beginnerartist #practice #feedback🙏

Day 59! I'd been running away from full body sketches and complete poses, so I forced myself to work on exactly that today. The only way to get over being scared of the task is doing it! #art #drawing #traditionalart #dailysketch #greyscale #mangastyle #swordsmaster #cleaved #fullbody #anatomy

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

Day 58! I need to practice hands... Didn't want it to be bland though, see here's an explosion to go along with it! #art #practice #drawing #sketch #traditionalart #greyscale #hand #explosion #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 15/08/2025

Day 57! I kinda realized I haven't drawn anything around 2 in the morning... So here's the 30 minute, off-the-seat-of-my-pants monster design originating from my sleep-addled brain! #art #sketch #traditionalart #greyscale #monster #design #spontaneous #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 56! Since I'm pretty much done with my move and settled, I'll be trying to focus on finishing the first draft of The Piper by my original deadline of the end of August. In honor of this, I drew a pivotal scene in which Elowen confronts the Piper. #art #dailysketch #horror #eldritch #bookscene

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 13/08/2025

Day 55! Finally got myself to stop avoiding anatomy and pose practice today, and so I went for a JoJo-like pose. Not half-bad, I think. #art #drawing #sketch #traditionalart #anatomy #pose #boy #manga #anime #daily #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 51! I wanted to practice drawing accessories a little, and so we're starting with earrings! Had to make the ear a bit more fantasy-flavored to make myself satisfied with it. XD #art #drawing #traditionalart #manga #greyscale #ear #earring #fantasy #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Day 50! Pretty big milestone, ain't it? Another quick sketch that I used mostly to solidify the general formation of body anatomy in my head by freestyling it, the Phantom Mistress. #art #drawing #traditionalart #manga #phantom #longhair #earrings #lady #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 48! I think I've hit the artist equivalent of a writer's block right now. Ended up deciding to draw a guild logo/emblem. #art #design #emblem #logo #sigil #guild #blade #sheath #greyscale #dailysketch #beginnerartist #feedbackplease

Day 46! Writing the short for NYC Midnight really sucked out all of my creative juices, cause coming up with today's concept took me twice as long, and that's ignoring all the other ideas that my brain just couldn't process into an image for some reason. #art #drawing #traditionalart #dailysketch

kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social @kurosh-daily-draw.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Just finished submitting my story for #NYCMidnight I'm really proud of how it turned out. Can't wait to see what the judges think 🤔
