- pfp by cyndersart!

Hi! Im Val, I am really new to art and I decided to start posting my progress in here as a way to keep me motivated and be able to see my own growth. So here is some of what I did today and a WIP:3

btw Im always looking for new art friends if anyone would like to talk and keep each other motivated
I also have started a new sketchbook where I will be making drawings from Ellies perspective in TLOU pt2, as if this was her sketchbook as I follow along the story

Makima character study! Im not super happy with this one since I only had 45 minutes to complete it and it was really hard because of her folds in clothing but it was fun! (I really need to work on faces)

Viper character study, this was a lot of fun and it made me want to play valorant again 😖

This was an experiment taking a pose from a photograph and trying to add more dynamism to it. I just made up the elf character. Coloring is still a weak point and it's hard for me to make up clothes, but I can see myself improving. #art #digitalart #elf #figuredrawing #beginnerartist

Day 5! Had a really busy day and spent two hours drawing cats I don’t really like how the cats turnt out much, I will post them here once they are finished but it is my first time drawing without a direct reference instead using multiple references to make something so Im not too mad about it 😎

Day 4! I want to learn how to use line weight better and how to get proportions right with more ease but today was a fun day:)

Second half of my Atsushi Kaneko studies. People seem to like 2, but my favorite is 3. #deathco #art #studies #sketches #dailydrawing #digitalart #portraitstudies #manga

Day 2, did some gestures, and ofc had to draw my favorite. I also started a new environment that has been incredibly hard but I’m excited to work on it more tomorrow:)
