The last five faces. Only one wasn’t eating or drinking. 😆 I haven't had much motivation to draw lately, plus I was injured and had to rest for several days. I don't know when I'll start my next drawing project. 🙁

I've been a bit busy lately and haven't been able to post regularly. Here are four faces from the 100 Faces Challenge. I have to confess that I haven't continued practicing since completing the challenge, which is bad. 😬

Day 100/100
I completed this challenge today! I haven't posted enough these days, so I still have nine sketches waiting to be posted. Continuing for 100 days is not so easy for me, and there were several times when I almost gave up, but I'm glad I didn’t! Thank you for your company along the way! 🥰

The last tenth! It almost feels like I just started this challenge last week, and how come it’s ending next week already? 100 days may sound like a long time, but it’s really not! Time flies!

Pinterest is flooded with AI images. It takes so much time to find a reference image of real people for studying, and there is no way to determine the authenticity. Are you also bothered by this issue when looking for reference images? What will you do?

More half-length portrait study. I find it hard to get the proportions right. I tend to make the shoulders too narrow and the hands too small. I think I probably need to learn some anatomy. Do you learn about anatomy when you draw people?

I'm trying to add more body parts in the sketch, and it has become more challenging than drawing faces only. Hands are so difficult! 😩 Do you step out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself while making art? How does it turn out?

On the 51st day, I thought about whether I should switch to drawing men. After thinking for five seconds, I continued to draw a woman's face. 😅 What about you? Are you drawing more men or women?

It seems that sketching can be done faster with a larger brush. Is that the case with you? What brushes do you use when sketching in procreate?

Day 53/100
It wasn't until yesterday that I realized the time-lapse recorded in Procreate isn’t the actual working time. So, each face actually only took me about 50 minutes. I thought I was drawing way too slowly, but it turned out to be a wrong idea!

Almost halfway there! I managed to finish a face from three hours to now one and half hours. This can be considered progress, right? But I am still not clear about my art style though.

I have the doubt whether I could complete this challenge now. Ever since I passed 30 days, I feel bored with repeating the same things, and I almost gave up many days. Glad that I’m still here working on it.

Is there a specific angle these portraits can be called other than 3/4 view? I think it seems to be an angle bigger than 3/4 view.

Day 33/100
Each face took me about 2-3 hours to finish. I’m trying to loosen up the sketch a little. I hope I can draw them with more casual lines so they don’t look so serious and also allow me to draw faster. How long does it take you to sketch a face?

More faces for my 100 day sketch challenge.
I spent more time on the hair because I often have trouble drawing hair, especially without reference images. I find that defining negative space seems to be the key to drawing hair? The one on the bottom right is my favorite, what do you think?

Starting in April, I’m going to build my daily sketching habit by drawing a face every day for 100 days. It’s been ten days, which means I’ve completed one tenth of it. It’s a very small milestone, but I decided to give myself a pat on the back.
