Definitely was overtaken by some game development tasks for the last bit, but I'm coming back to continue my journey to 100 this week!

Hoping I can make it to 50 by the end of October!

Thank you!

Decided to rework my previous post. Refining is really helping lately. I want to try to get into more full body poses soon.

Happy Halloween!

A touch of color today and a bit more gradation to the eyes. Just going to keep trying things until I lock in!

Thanks for following me!

Finally corrected my sleep schedule! If I can correct my sloppy lineart next, y'all are done for!

Kind of a mixture of the stuff I've been trying lately with some of my older techniques.

THIS IS GENIUS! I haven't seen this before but such a good idea because of how BSky handles reposts. Nice!

Found a drawing of my OC Luca Porlum from way back when (2021) and redrew it in my current art style!

Soooo yeah. I'm genuinely pretty happy with this. Glad to be back on the road to 100.

Feeling like I've made some more progress.

Also throwing this out to the bluesky dev gods, but can we *please* get a following feed that leaves out reposts?

I love that my follows are so supportive of others but I'm following them to see their content and I want to support that work.

Clicking "media" on every account is so sloooow.

Another day another study on the #RoadTo100.

Chizuru Ichinose. From the never-ending-edging-saga (!!!) that is Rent-A-Girlfriend. 😫

Thanks for the love on this! Working purely digital has been pretty eye opening for me the last few days and I wish I hadn't hesitated on it so much.

Looking forward to getting more out there and hitting that first 100 followers! 😋

Thanks for coming along on the journey.

Wrapped up my #KaraneInda study from #100Kanojo today.

Made some proportion fixes with liquify and mirrored a hair tail to balance things. Happy with how it came together!

Working on a study of #KaraneInda from #100Kanojo. Only got about half way I think but was starting to get tired.

Working digitally continues to be fun now that I switched to CSP for iPad.

Partial digital sketch of Karane Inda from “The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You.” Her expression is annoyed or pouty, and her twin braids are tied with bows. Dated 09/25 with initials “SP.”

Okay! Feels like 1 step forward, 1 step back, but I’ll keep working this way for a bit and push on. Thanks for sticking around. I'm learning a lot on this road to 100. 💪

Black-and-white digital line art of an original anime-style character drawn in Clip Studio Paint. The character has long flowing hair parted at the center, expressive eyes with detailed lashes, and a small smile. She is shown from the shoulders up against a plain white background, with the date “09/19 SP” written on the side.

Okay, I swear I set up my CSP and tablet! I'm going to do some digital work today or tomorrow, but wanted to get a quick pencil doodle in!

Still moving forward, one drawing at a time.
Another portrait as I work toward my first 100 follows.

There will be digital pieces too but I'm loving this pencil.
Still playing with shapes, balance, symmetry, and personality in simple lines.

Haven't been super active on here lately. I've been studying and juggling life stuff.

But I'm back now and making a big push this month to hit 100!

Redraw to see if I could improve - especially with the new pencil. Feeling cleaner and more confident.

08/25 vs 08/14

#artpractice #sketch #redraw #animeart #mangaart #characterart #drawingpractice #pencilart #portraitsketch #イラスト #アート
Two pencil sketches of the same girl drawn 11 days apart. The left sketch is dated 08/25, with cleaner lines, fuller hair, and more confident shading. The right sketch is dated 08/14, looser with lighter shading. Both show the same girl with long hair and an open mouth, as if speaking. This is the 08/25 sketch.

Bought a new pencil and it is such an insane upgrade. Never realized it would be so helpful.

It's pretty hot here so I may stick to pencil/paper again until the heatwave passes.

Graphite pencil drawing of a young woman with long straight hair. The drawing emphasizes large stylized eyes and a soft smile, with simplified features.

Downloaded a ton of random brushes years ago for Procreate/PS/CSP - pen pressure, tilt, texture.

Now: "Can you just behave like a consistent pen or a pencil???"

I wanna toss 'em all in favor of the 4 I'll use.

Halp.

Gave Procreate a shot again. Staaare. 👀 Forgot to make the canvas bigger so she's a bit fuzzy, but I'm happy with the overall flow. Gonna keep trying to find a balance.
