In other news, I was just accepted into evening classes for artschool for both life drawing and still life, couldn't be more excited for that new chapter 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I don't really have many people around me who care much about art so sharing this into the bluesky void as I celebrate. #artistsonbluesky

It's been a while since my last daily practice post. It's not that I didn't practice daily, but I realized that by trying to keep up with a daily public posting schedule, I kept gravitating towards those things in my practice i felt most comfortable with. #artistsonbluesky #artprogress

Day 119 of sharing my art progress. Heatwave finally winding down, so back to drawing digitally. Super happy with the results today, feels like one of these jumps forward after studying fundamentals for a while. The Asaro heads really paid off! #artistsonbluesky #art #artsky #artprogress
Three portrait studies drawn digitally in black and white.

Day 118 of sharing my art progress. A few more #CyberpunkEdgerunners character studies, I just love how unique these characters look despite their otherwise simple facial features. They're so well designed. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #fanart

Day 117 of sharing my art progress. Heatwave is still in full force so I went with something more fun this evening and did some character studies of #lucy from #CyberpunkEdgerunners - maybe I'll find the courage to try a colorized version in gouache this weekend. #art #artistsonbluesky #fanart

Day 116 of sharing my art progress. More sketching in procreate before bedtime, not much else possible with all the heat at the moment. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #artsky

Day 115 of sharing my art progress. Some sketching on the ipad in bed this evening. Also we're moving into another heatwave? I'm so done with summer 😭😭 #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress

Day 113 of sharing my art progress. Finally a calm weekend without plans - so lots of time for practice. Continuing on the Asaro Head studies (hard brushes, no opacity). Getting to below 30 minutes per head is still a challenge. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky
Digital painting studies of the asaro head from various angles in greyscale.

Day 112 of sharing my art progress. Asaro heads seemed like a natural progression after the skull. Tried to limit myself to a hard brush without opacity to really focus on carving out the planes. Probably will do a lot more of these from various angles. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #artsky

Day 110 of sharing my art progress. Received some gouache for my birthday and hadn't touched real brushes since highschool. I clumsily followed a tutorial by Jess Chung on youtube and felt silly for even attempting this. Now I can't help but smile looking at the result. #artistsonbluesky #art
Gouache painting of mountains and a forest

Day 109 of sharing my art progress. Some sketching outside at a coffee place. Felt good to work analogue again after so many days of digital practice. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky
Some portrait sketches in a sketchbook drawn with ballpen and highlighters.

Day 108 of sharing my drawing practice. Even more timed skull painting & value studies. It's not the most interesting to share but it feels good to spend some time on getting more familiar with these. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky
A few studies of a human skull at different angles, painted digitally in greyscale.

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 31/07/2026
Day 107 of sharing my drawing practice. More skull studies, this time timed at 10 minutes. I'm working towards 5 minutes ultimately but that feels like a far stretch. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
Day 106 of sharing my drawing practice. Still working on more skull studies this week. Tried to set a timer for 15 minutes each this time around, will try to go even shorter for 10 minutes tomorrow. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky #learningtodraw

Day 105 of sharing my drawing practice. Moving to painting skulls today which, after coming from fruit and objects felt like a "and now the rest of the owl" situation. I was actually surprised that they turned out decently but they took f o r e v e r ! #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #artsky
Some painted skulls

Day 102 of sharing my drawing practice. When life gives you lemons you... study them? Or something like that. They receive light so differently from solid apples and pears, felt like a huge step up in difficulty. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #learningtodraw #artprogress

Day 100 (yay🎉) of drawing practice. Or is it painting practice now? I thought by day 100 I'd be busy drawing castles and dragons but instead today it's... pears? Having a lot of fun just exploring color with painting at the moment. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress
Digital artwork of 8 pears in a painterly style.

Day 99 of sharing my art progress, my life has become consumed by apples. Trying to push shapes, value and color a bit more in these studies. #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #artsky #art

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 18/07/2026
Day 98 of sharing my art progress. It's apple time! Digital painting practice, trying to get a feel for value and chroma. #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #learningtodraw
Multiple apples drawn digitally from reference.

Day 97 of sharing my art progress. Back home after a few busy days and felt like going back to alcohol markers for portrait practice this morning. #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #artsky

Day 96 of sharing my art progress. Another set of donut shapes to practice shading and understanding the form better. A lot happier with these than the first batch but they're still soooo hard to get right. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
Day 95 of sharing my art progress. Why is it so hard to draw and render a simple donut shape? I feel like I'm losing my mind with how they all look more like wobbly noodles than a solid shape. #artprogress #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky
questionable value studies of donut shapes.

Day 94 of sharing my art progress. Apparently we're heading into the next heat wave already? I'm so tired of this summer already and it's barely started. Back to hiding in the bedroom and drawing pencil sketches. #art #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky
A sketchbook with four pencil portrait sketches.

Day 93 of sharing my art progress. I just started the Meds Map course by Ahmed Aldoori for digital painting. Today + yesterday has been basic shapes and thinking more about light / shadow. It feels good to have a bit more structure to learning. #artprogress #artistsonbluesky #artsky #art

Finally back home and some relief from the recent heatwave. Cooler temps meant finally being able to get to my drawing tablet again. Did quite a few portrait sketches and really liked how this one turned out! #art #artistsonbluesky #learningtodraw #artprogress

Day 91 of daily drawing practice. On the road again for work but managed to get a few quick portraits in before I crash into the hotel bed. Still working on proportions and construction but quite happy with how bottom right turned out. #dailydrawing #art #artistsonbluesky #learningtodraw

Day 90 of (almost) daily drawing practice. More progress on filling that portrait sketchbook. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress

Every time I read about more layoffs in the gaming industry, my heart shatters into more pieces. I fear for a future where generic AI slop masquerading as games will be normalised, and we'll collectively forget that video games had the power to tell stories like no other media.

Another page done in my portrait practice sketchbook, these are a bit messier pencil sketches but hey it's 43 degrees here. #learningtodraw #artprogress #art #artistsonbluesky

Currently suffering with everyone else through that heatwave in europe but still trying to continue practice. Finished a few portraits in the sketchbook today. I'd love to do some more digital work, but the tablet is literally melting under my hands. #art #artistsonbluesky #dailydrawing #artsky

More fineliner portraits. When I went to pay at the coffee place where I drew, they said they're so happy to give artists a place to hang out and draw. And I was like... artist? Meee? I never thought of myself that way when I started drawing. That made my entire day. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 16/06/2026
I'll probably just drop the day count from my daily drawing posts because, let's be honest, who's counting. Did some more procreate sketching today! #art #artprogress #dailydrawing #artistsonbluesky

Day 84 of sharing my art progress. Starting a course on sketching by rembert montald. The first assignment was drawing some items around the house. I'm not sure what drew me to my waffle maker, but now I think we might be having waffles for dinner? #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #artsky

It's been so warm this weekend, feels so hard to get anything done, ended up scribbling a bit with procreate before bed at least. I'm normally working with clip studio paint, but the procreate pencils feel so fun to use. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress

Day 82 of sharing my art progress. I just started a new sketchbook, which is the perfect time to compare my drawings from today against my first drawings when I started my daily practice. Turns out practice works, and it really is all about putting in the hours. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky

Day 81 of sharing my art progress. Started with figure drawing practice but nothing that felt meaningful enough to share. So I went back to my comfort zone and drew some additional digital portraits at the end of the day. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #learningtodraw #artsky

Day 79 of sharing my daily art progress. Did a few more pages of pencil sketches. These were my favourites from today. Really want to get back into drawing some figures now to switch things up, so let's see how that goes tomorrow. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #artprogress

Day 77 of sharing my daily art practice. More scribbling around with facial expressions and trying to make the face look consistent. #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #learningtodraw #artprogress

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 04/06/2026
Day 76 of sharing my daily art practice. Was going to practice some facial expressions today but then I realized the hardest part of that is to make a face look consistently the same and not like 4 different persons! #artprogress #art #artistsonbluesky #artsky #learningtodraw

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 03/06/2026
Day 75 of sharing my art progress. More work on improving my digital lineart. I find it much more difficult to draw hair on men than women, it just feels a lot less flowy and generally seems to have more sections with different lengths and textures. #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #artsky

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
Day 74 of sharing my art progress. After spending the last week with fineliners and pencils, back to digital. Bringing all that i learned about line weight with me - and what a difference this practice made! #artistsonbluesky #art #artprogress #portraitart #artsky

somelostlines @somelostlines.bsky.social · 01/06/2026
Day 73 of sharing my art progress. More portraits with fineliners. More work on proportions and playing with line weights. #art #artistsonbluesky #artprogress #portraitart
