just a rough sketch of where things should be but i'm mostly just eyeballing a reference 🤭

OHOHOHOHHOHO YEAHH ART ART DOIN THE ART AUGGHHH YEAHHHHHHH

nope! i definitely should though, i just like attempting to draw what i want to and winging the learning part as i go 😅

i think learning the fundamentals is like eating vegetables for me, i know it's good to have a strong foundation and make good habits but i also just wanna doodle and color

i also cannot wrap my head around using different shades of colors to give shapes form

like trying to draw it on purpose just does not make sense to me

and one of these days i think i just need to improve my line art with a ton of repetition, i just get really lazy and dont wanna do it though

color + lighting + intensity = ??? value? saturation?

i saw in a tutorial that if someone is standing outside in the daytime, the shadows of their skin turns bluer cus the sky counts as a light source. i wanna try learning how that kind of colored lights interact with colored surfaces

having some trouble learning how to draw heads so i thought id just trace over mita since the anime style proportions are probably easier to learn. then i got really into trying to do red lighting on her and wanted to see if i could figure that out intuitively (idk maybe).

tried experimenting with some texture/tone
