Where it started vs where it is now!
Trust the process, but don’t be afraid to start over if need be!

Or to use reference pics

Finally got around to learning how to knit. Nothing fancy, just a basic knit stitch, and a purl stitch (not shown).
Hand holding a knitting needle with two rows of knit stiches. Wad of yarn on my lap More rows of knit stitches on a knitting needle added on after three hours of work

I found a book on drawing facial expressions that I’m definitely gonna buy when I get paid. Using it helped me make my all time favorite pic of my gith paladin Tarvok
In-game screenshot of Tarvok, a githyanki man, talking to Volo in a clearing, Wyll and Gale (face obscured by Volo’s hat) are on either side of Tarvok Text reads: “Volo: Can it be? A githyanki? What a delight!” Head sketch in colored pencil of a githyanki man looking angry There should be a lip going vertically across his lip but I forgot it

Been working on making art even when I don’t feel like it. Done over the course of three days, and it feels like I’m seeing improvement
Three different head drawings of an elf woman taken from a sketchbook. Middle head is dated 2/19 and bottom head is dated 2/20. Parts of different sketches are barely visible on either side of the photo

Doodles of some of my BG3 Tavs:
Nelari the half-drow bardlock, Tarvok the githyanki paladin, and Leniran the elven spore druid.
I’ve been fine tuning their backstories so I can take play them in DnD!

It takes a minute to notice, but there are giveaways.
This hand for example only has three fingers (like the program merged the index and middle fingers
Closeup of a hand holding a flag in front of a crowd of people. Bottom of the screen shows the top of someone’s head and part of a camera. The hand appears to only three fingers and a thumb.

Need an opinion:

Should Nelari have red eyes or green(ish) ones?

Does anyone besides me try to delay drawing problem areas by drawing everything else for as long as possible?

I think Oliver picked up on my anxiety this week, and has been extra demanding for cuddles. I’m happy to oblige.
Orange cat laying on a blue couch on his left side with his front paws in the air. His back legs are resting against my hip in blue jeans and a navy blue shirt. In front of him is the cork side of a square drink coaster. My arm is against his back and I’m scratching his neck. There’s a red and a yellow throw pillow on the other side of my arm, and part of a TV remote is sticking out from under the pillows. There isn’t enough light to see the floor so it looks darker than it is.
