Did another small study on the main artwork for Cloyster, turned it into a color/shading exercise. It isn't pretty but as usual, I learned a lot about blending and color depth as I went. I want to develop a style of shading that isn't like my friends', something softer and more natural.

Today I sat around and said "so what I'm learning is very TRADTIONAL but I want to do something more stylized" and after a shitpost yesterday I sat down and picked a Gohan Dokkan card to reference, which I kept on the corner and worked on by eye. I learned a lot as I worked and I think it shows.

Today I decided to tackle something I've been dreading learning: hands. I've never been happy with hands and this was my first time really trying to draw them with any kind of proper structure. I'd like to think I made a lot of progress from squibbly bricks with nubs.

As a bonus here's my sketch sheet for today after that buff alien dude was done. If you want my suggestions for structure, there's a video out there by Jim Lee and he goes over the structure used in comics. Jazza also has an amazing book on structure basics with exercises.

I've been practicing off and on and I think I should be honest - I'm not about this online clout crap. I want to improve for me, at my pace. I think that's why I'm going to keep posting. Something for me to look back on and be proud.

So that replacement got delayed and in the meantime I did NOT want to miss out on my daily practice so I spent about 45 minutes doing some work and feeling out the shape of a body with a bit of a sketch/note page. It's very sloppy but I used colors to separate it for my own review

Currently my tablet is on its last legs because I received a faulty unit, so while I wait for the replacement to arrive tomorrow this is all I could bring myself to work on. Hopefully this is a good look into how my process works, I take things I learned and put them together until I understand it.

the little character in the bottom left corner is a little doodle of my friend's character, but I'm learning different methods to build a body and ways to see the muscles/underlying form of the human body. I see in shapes not lines which makes learning easy in some ways and difficult in others.

I'm not done yet today so expect some more but today I did a face warmup then looked at some body tutorials/aids from Jim Lee and DrawLikeASir, a quick google should find either if you're interested. You may be able to see my process as the session went on, this was about 3 hours of total work.

Today's been pretty wild, I opted to finish some practice and see how well I've done, then my buddy @miaterasu.bsky.social gave me some tips and guided me through some more of the process resulting in the last image, which took 4 hours total.

Yesterday my buddy sent me some practice sheets he found so I started banging out some spheres to get used to drawing heads. I did these then some drawpile stuff with my friends to goof around.

This was from day 1, when I was still getting used to my pen tablet. Hand eye coordination hasn't been nearly as hard as I anticipated it to be.
