Started drawing my cat and it evolved like this

Colors in the first one looked much better on tablet, but as I'm uploading this from pc it looks worn out. I figured it looks better with brightness at 50% max, since I'm using lower brightness on tablet

I finally decided to begin the clothes drawing practice, after I've felt I have practice enough with the face rendering, plus I wanted to draw something different. I chose this reference (found on Pinterest) because it's just a shirt and it's way easier to practice on simple fabric. I'm still figuring out how the folds and their shading and patterns work, but I have to say that after I've practiced on them by painting them and not just drawing only the line art, somehow their shapes registered much better in my brain. I also applied the hard/soft edges technique on the folds that I've discovered from drawing faces. After clothes there's only perspective and buildings left to work on

Semi realistic Rendering practice. Colors a bit muddy but that was also in the reference. This is a painterly way of drawing likeness. I'm still not as confident with painting like I am with sketching, but I think this came out decent and the plane changes and contrast (although blurry) make it look like it's getting close to realism
