Quick check in for y’all! <3 It is becoming clear I severely overestimated how productive I could be during surgery recovery, so there is going to be a pause on the drawing series and announcement for the foreseeable future! I am doing fine, don’t worry there, just not super happy about it lol

Apparently my sleep deprived sick self thought this came off as a lot funnier than it was, apologies for that. Context is a friend thought I was crazy for sleeping with my closet doors closed, and I thought it was crazy the other way around ^^”

For now, we’ll count these as day 6 of the Draw Every Day challenge! More work on muscle anatomy, and though I do have much better examples of it, I cannot show em off here sadly. I will have my next day be a deep dive into breaking down musculature and bones, so stay tuned! ^^

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Also, following that, I do have something much much bigger in the works, and is the reason I am doing the Draw Every Day project to begin with… I can’t give too much to promise rn, but man am I excited! ><

Apologies for the lack of updates on the draw every day! I assure you I am still drawing, however it is focused on some personal projects atm, I will resume to proper studies in a few days and continue on! ^^

Had to cut it short a couple days for travel, but I am back in action!! Draw Every Day: Day 5 Time to begin my first actual studying work, where I’ll spend a week working on a specific body part, and train it until it feels natural! This week is the chest and rib cage! All but two are from memory!

Draw Every Day: Day 4 Remember!! The most important rule of learning art; whether you are picking up a pencil for the first time, or picking it up for the billionth… Always have fun. Never forget why you wanted to do this, don’t let your desire to be better kill your love. Now… TAILS!!! YES!!!

I don’t know who hates em, I am having a blast drawing them! Filled two full pages and discovered a whole new kind of square mannequin!! It is awesome! ^^

Draw Every Day: Day 3 More boxes!! Today I wanted to test out where I stood using several different ideas to make use of the lines and boxes practiced earlier, and I am very happy with how it turned out! (Front page is too flimsy for circles, but it may have worked out even better than I thought.)

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Draw Every Day: Day 2/? Boxes!! Now that I have some more familiarity with pencil strokes, it is time to start working on the backbone of everything I need, the first one being boxes!! With these little guys, everything else can be made, you just need to know how to work em! (All freehanded)

Cont… The reason I had given up on traditional art was the tremors. They are genetic, with my last four generations of family having them present, and I had them appear the earliest in life, about three years ago now. So, if there is nothing I can do about them, might as well train with it! ^w^

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

You know what, for real this time. Draw Every Day: Day 1/? Lines!! While they may seem simple, they are incredibly difficult for me traditionally. I have a tremor in my right hand, so I have used the stabilizing of digital as a crutch far too long, time to get better! (Alt Txt + Comments)

The left page practices two methods, feathering, and point match lines, in no particular fashion or order.

The “fireworks” are probably the hardest, starting with a center point, I have to start a certain distance away, and try to thread through the center dot, then end up an equal distance from the start, in a single stroke, and I know they are not pretty.

The ladder and weirdly interlaced diamond pattern are a similar concept, but rather connecting two points as close to perfectly as you can, in a single stroke, much easier said than done.

The strands and grass like strokes are feathering practices, at least to me, just start with a line, and see how closely you can make a near identical line, for as many repetitions as you care for, I usually shoot for about 30-50 strokes per.

~30 Minutes

The right page is consistency practice! Using only my wrist, elbow, or shoulder movements to make different lengths of straight or curved lines, I try my best to trace the same line without much deviation, each line here is 25 lines stacked on top of each other, and I am happy to see how they start to narrow down into a more solid line as I progressed and filled the page.

~20 Minutes

Man… completely forgot about Bsky being a thing… I need to get some sorta schedule going on here. Anyone think it’s cool to see doodles and sketches as I start learning more anatomy? >>

The time has finally arrived! After 14 hours of clocked drawing time, and several hand cramps, I present to you the best artwork I have ever made!! Fully lineless render of the floofy green proot mid fight! Now, I wonder who is going to be on the other end of this? (Seriously I am so so proud rn)

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

How y’all feeling about this kind of rendering? Haven’t tried it before, and it feels pretty basic, so I may do more to up the texture! All advice is welcome!

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Ay!!! See this amazing proot over here?! Please go follow and support him!! He is just an unbelievably skilled artist and is probably the main reason I am still drawing to this day! Incredible person and artists all around, and deserves so much more attention!! <3

Okay!! Art seems to be arting again for me!! Talked to some new artsy frems and got some really good advice, the main thing being posing refs!!! I am in love with this sketch! >< Raegis showing Slate that there is more to strength than just big and bulky! (First look at two more Relics OC’s for ya)

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

That’s exactly what I was thinking! Like, you have worked so damn hard to get to whatever skill level you rest at now, who knows what your journey has looked like? Someone calling your work “talented” just invalids all of that because you were just “lucky” to draw that well.

030 3

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Very random tangent, but I’d like to get some input on it. Whenever talking about incredible artists and their works, I always avoid the use of “talented”, and prefer skilled or just other positives! With art especially, so much work goes into becoming better, “talent” just feels insulting.

There is a follow up to this tutorial that is a full animation of it with special effects and custom lighting! I’ll hopefully be getting that done on Thursday!!

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

This is my first official model, while I’ve messed around with object slams… and subdividing until my PC crashes, I set aside time for a full session to follow a tutorial, and five hours later I go this beauty!! It was so much fun!!

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

I made the donut tutorials when I tried this last year, and I swear nothing made me hate Blender more, it would take me likes, days to get through one episode, meanwhile I was invested in the sword so much I did a 5 hour sitting in one go >< Good? Yes. Helpful? Not really.

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

This was just done from a tutorial series I found on YT!! It is amazing in how it teaches you without you even realizing it, and you end up with an amazing result as well!! You can absolutely do it!! This is the second thing I ever made! (Screw the donut tbh >>)

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

I know I will never draw just like them, they are still the ones who have inspired me to keep drawing in the first place, JP had even mentored me for a little while. I don’t even know how to find my own style, let alone work out how to improve on it and incorporate other’s into it.

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

You work with 3D models, which is a whole skill that I am like, terrified to touch! I’ve had Blender sitting on my desktop for months and have yet to open it XD

Axle The Draxolotl @axlethedraxolotl.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

My brain refuses to learn how to break those things down, and like 99% of the time I think it is the line work and switch my main brush, relearn how to use it, and then switch again! I just need to keep drawing more stuff!
