I've been slowly getting back into Infinity and got my first 3 Senku troopers painted up! Pretty happy with how they came out. Using a thinner medium instead of water so still learning what the ratio needs to be there.

As promised, here's some #nature pictures from my sampling run today to make up for the missed #drawing.

Day 12! Rotated some boxes today. Which was equal parts interesting and frustrating. I'll finish out the corners another day.

Day 11! Almost took a break today due to *motions to everything* but I got another boxes exercises done. This time trying to freehand the perspective.

Day 9! Feeling real under the weather today so I definitely didnt do as much as I probably should have but more circles! This time using the boxes I created a few days ago.

Day 8! We have escaped lines and boxes and have moved onto the world of circles! The ghosting method is taking some getting used to, but it's definitely helping.

Day 7! Doesn't feel like I've been doing this for a week already. Tried my hand at some more exercises, but otherwise, I kept it simple today.

Day 6! This time we're drawing *boxes* focusing on straight or at least straighter lines. Still need some work but already seeing some improvement!

Day 5! Started the Drawabox lessons. Didn't have a ton of time but I was able to get through the first bit of homework. Definitely need to work on my line confidence and working with the whole arm.

A page of lines drawn over lines. Many of the lines are wavy and off point.

Day 4! I've been stuck on campus all day and likely will be here for the next few hours but I managed to sneak in some time to get a little practice in. Some basic perspective from a book a friend recommended, a light post from campus, and a copy of a basic gesture.

#art #drawing #learning
A small page of drawings. Boxes with lines going to a vanishing point on the horizon, a lamppost, a stick figure gesture drawing, and some other basic drawing exercises.

I know I posted the full thing yesterday but I'm still cracking up at just how different these two piplups came out lol

Day 3! I tried a memory drawing, and it went about as well as expected. Hands were super shaky today, so I kept it to more simple exercises. Also forgot I had this on my bookshelf! Should be fun to dive into once I build my fundamentals some more.

A sketchbook page with two drawings of piplup and some basic drawing exercises. "How to Draw Comics: The Marvel Way" by Stan Lee and John Buscema. Its cover is aged and torn and has a collection of Marvel Superheros surrounding an easel where an artist is drawing Spider-Man.

Day 2 of learning how to draw. I tried to be more "studious" today and found some basic exercises to do. Still trying to get used to using my whole are but we'll get there! Tried my hand at copying from a pic and I'm actually kinda proud of the piplup lol.

I've decided to pick up #drawing again. I haven't really done art since middle school, and it definitely shows. I'm going to try to draw something every day and post it here. While it's mostly to have a record of my progress, it's also just to rip the bandaid off when it comes to showing people XD
A collection of very crude drawings from bugs, ships, and a very odd looking robot.

A new mech done! A Highlander IIC Seeker for the Goliath Scorpions/Scorpion Empire! Tried something new, no washes except for on the metal bits. Based the scheme off the Warrior Darter, so now both of my hyperfocuses have collided lol.

I just realized I haven't shared my Mercenary box progress yet! I'm working on a company called The Misfits, who are loosely based off of my current Lancer party!

Just finished Stories from Sol: The Gun Dog and I think you should give it a go. It's a fun VN with some point and click adventure aspects. Very old school mech story with some interesting twists. Plus the art style is peak.

First attempt at doing wet blending for my #seafox force. Not too shabby, even if my camera absolutely demolished the contrast lol.
