New episode of My Hero dropping tomorrow and I’m ready to bawl my eyes out. Here’s a sketch I did of Izuku back in April in honor of tomorrow’s episode. Deku is quite possibly the greatest modern hero ever created. His story has changed my life. Thank you, Horikoshi Sensei.
A sketch of Izuku Midoriya running to the left. He is covered in blood and still up fighting. I drew this from reference in the manga drawn by Kohei Horikoshi.

Today I experimented and after a few times starting over I managed to crochet a Pokéball with a tennis ball inside. 🎉🎉🎉
I was crocheting a Pokéball with a tennis ball inside. It is about 3/5 of the way done here. Testing to see if the tennis ball fit right. The crochet around the tennis ball! It turned out so lovely! A Pokéball crocheted around a tennis ball. Glorious. After adding the button for the Pokéball. It fits so nicely in my palm and is also quite bouncy.

I sketched Deku again. And again. And I thought… what if I drew him 100 times? 🤔

Tonight I finished this Izuku sketch. I was working on hair. And cross hatching. Deku is so flipping precious. Even with his crazy, stupid, beautiful, green hair.

My brother is getting married in February and my sisters are sharing all these dresses that we could all wear but I haven’t told them I’m gender fluid and am planning on wearing a suit and so that’s just an uncomfortable conversation and so I say nothing. It’s just like, giving me anxiety. 😬

Day 22 of Figure Artober! Did a Deku sketch and some back muscles. I did more today, but they look so bad. 😅 I’m at that part where I can see the issues better than I can fix them. I’ve hit this wall before with my art, and I’ll get past it.

I’m gonna let you all in on a secret. The reason I’m practicing figure drawing is so that I can draw Bakugo and Deku fanart because they’re so in love it makes me sick and I gotta draw them kissing.

Day 10 of Figure Artober is not really a figure drawing. I was feeling the need to sketch Bakugo. So here is our glorious Dynamite.

Day 9 of Figure Artober. I sketched some arms real quick and then got frustrated so now I’m stopping. Just not feeling the artsy flow today. But I got some practice in anyway! 😎
.
#figureartober #artober #sketchtober #melbred #figuredrawingpractice #arms
A page in my sketchbook with four very quick sketches of arms. It was a rough art day and I didn’t feel like doing it. But I pushed through and got some sketching in so it’s a win.
