In my last #sketch, I really did not bother much with the figures feet. So today I made myself focus on practicing feet/shoes. The front foot I think I did alright with, but I could feel my focus dwindling by the time I got to the back foot.

#art #DailySketch

Pencil sketch of a pair of feet, wearing sneakers. The person wearing the shoes seems to be balancing up on the balls of their feet.

I need to invest in some better erasers. There were so many times I smudged this sketch while trying to clean it up.

Another sticky note #sketch today. Something quick and simple this time.

#art #DailySketch

Sketch made with ball point pen on a blue sticky note of a young man, smiling, with short hair. A purple pen that says "I am very busy" lies on the table next to the sticky note.

It's been a while since I've done a sticky note #sketch, but here's a new one for today. I did not have a enough space for the whole quote on just one side, so it splits around the middle. But the chaos kinda fits.

Cleaned up yesterday's sketch a bit for today's #DailySketch. There's still some more I want to do with it, but that's all for tonight.

Today's #DailySketch is another character sketch from my weekly d&d game. This one is a tie fling bard. And this sketch is a lot looser than last week's sketch, since I didnt work on it for quite as long.

I forgot to post yesterday's #DailySketch, but I also don't have time to make a new one today (practically falling asleep right now). So here's yesterday's sketch.

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you.

(This is still technically one of the best drawings I've ever made. Just a figure study, but I love it so much.)

Yesterday was another busy day, so I missed another #DailySketch. But decided to carve out more time today for a more detailed and less rushed sketch.

Yesterday was a busy day and I missed my #DailySketch. Today was another busy day, but squeezed in a quick sketch right before bed.

#art #sketch

Pencil sketch of a woman sitting with legs outstretched, crossed at the ankles. She is wearing a wide brimmed hat that covers most of her face. She holds a book open in front of her and a bag sits on the ground beside her.

Today's #DailySketch is of my friend's PC drawn on the back of my character sheet during our d&d session tonight. She is a firbolg druid and definitely the biggest sweetheart in our party.
