Day 10 580 cillinders to amaze me

Hi there, Bunko here

Today I finally got a lot more confortable on approaching legs. And a bit faster. I came up with a workflow while doing the arms on day 6 or whatever day it was, and it did wonders to the legs!! yay :blush:

I'll travel to the countryside today so I'm not sure I'll be able to upload until I come back. But I'll do what I can to make so. Also, I wont stop the challenge while there xD

Well, have a wonderful day, and keep grinding.

Days 8 and 9 620 Legs facts to uncover

Hi there, yesterday I had some family issues and couldnt complete the 40 (i did only 22 of them) and so I would not post a half complete challenge, I wake up a bit earlier and did today's challenge with yesterday's remaining drawings, so I would not get behind the schedule.

Also, I'm not sure why but I seem to not understand legs. Guess I found my first wall here.

**ps: I'll be traveling for my mom's bday and spend a few family time with my baby brother @15 this month. So I'll keep the challenge but most likely not post until I'm back**

Day 7 700 weird facts about the body to go

Today I tried to understand how I could make gesture flow into the landmarks. I foccused bone areas and mostly places where there was a quicker change of planes.

I could discover a few different things, and got faster to see shapes. But now what I lack is variety, gotta gather some refs and draw on another angles.

Also,arms and legs got so much in common its kind of cute.

Still gotta a long way to go and I'm thinking of making this 1k1month grow a bit. Maybe a 2k1month idk, dont quote me on that. It will all depends on the final few days when I will have drawn the whole figure a couple dozens of times.

(also quick tip: i'm not sure if its just that i got used, but if i draw late at night, i wake up with a urge of drawing. That's been a good motivation factor so far)

See ya on the next 40 ***ps: reminder to myself i need some ref of arms in diff angles***

Day 6 750 more weird stuff on the way

I was really, really trying to understand a couple of things on the arm and figure, like how shapes flow into one another and how to blend mr Civardi's anatomy with mr Loomis method of building a manequim, in a pleasing way for me.

I feel like I nailed down most of the structure I want for the time being. I also did 10 extra arms to be sure everything wasnt just a "luck strikes combo" series.

Also, today was a wonderful day, where I could see vividly with my imagination everyone without skin. And that is a passive skill that only a good psychologist can take away from me. ps: sorry, I'm not really talented with being funny and stuff.

Until tomorrow~

Day 5 800 manequins to go

Today was arm's day. The first drawing I did copying one I liked and tried to measure everything I though woul be relevant or not change much when the arm moved.

From the seccond onwards the focus was to test out my measures and see wich needed to be redone, wich worked and wich didnt. After that I focused on making the overall arm fit inside the previous basic manequin one, and tried to keep it consistent and aply reduction.

I got really fast at doind arms using a little formula I cooked up. Now gotta practice more and more, and bend and twist them and all that good stuff.

Day 4 840 drawings to go

Man, today was a rought day. Anyways, I always take notes on things I discover or to check them out later.

Tablet's pressure is still dead. At least ppl told me its a common issue, so I guess it can be fixed without much problem.

Also, I checked and there's no place in my country selling any of Mr Giovanni Civardi's book, and I cant buy them online cause student credit card dont let buy from overseas.

Today I started thinking about how to shade some areas and how muscles work. I think i'm looking at ppl and imagining how they look beneath the skin.

Well, I'm happy for my new "non-creepy habit aquired"

See you guys tomorrow

Day 3

880 drawings to go

Today everything that could break, breaked. Such is the Murphy Law.

My tablet is acting weird, the pressure sensitive was going off and on all the time. I looked a few threads and will try a couple of troubleshooting tomorrow.

Also, both my mechanical pencils broke, and I used the sakura pigma nankin ones. It was great! I really like using them, and I figured a lot of things out too.

So today will stay as a reminder: The more it seems unlikely for you to draw, just draw. It can become something awesome (and also lighten up your day a bit)

Oh boy, today was a tough day. Aside from having a numb sholder because I got some flue shots, i've found so many walls while drawing. Probably will take a couple of monthes to figure everything out.

Oh, btw, each 'X' is something I found wrong, and when there's no 'X' its usually when I've discovered something new (not necessarily making the drawing more accurate)...

Still hard to manage the tablet. Welp, keep grinding

So I gave myself the challenge to make 1k manequim drawings this month.

It seems like a lot, but its basically 40 per day, divided into 20 at mornings (before I start my routine) and 20 at night (before I sleep).

I’ll be doing those for how long I can so I can nail down some proportion I like, get used to full bodies and get faster. 

Well, here are the first 40.

Ayyyy it was suposed to be me, but turned out to be a mix of a couple of thing that where poping in my head. Also, i cant make decent hair yet... :T
