Overall this week went pretty decent. Could have probably done more art time since i only hit 23 hrs for this week on my keep working timer (timer that tracks hours when your pen is on the screen) but still decent.

This next week i need to think about what anatomy to study to better my understanding. I think ill keep the anatomy studies to one portion of the body per week, that way i can get a deeper understanding in that time. Next week ill work on the rib cage area. Need to continue on designs as I usually do. This next week i found my motivation is low, probably since i finished my commission and some other personal things happening. Ill try and push on through as i go.

Summary:

work on torso anatomy from ref and imagination

continue doing design studies

Look at previous notes to see where you need improvement or if you need to work on something

for my studies this week i did a lot of figures for just general drawing maintenance or warming up for the day. Portrait studies were for helping with a portrait commission im currently on and metal studies as well for an armor material im having trouble with on the portrait. Daily design doodle to help me get more in the flow of being creative.

what went well?- was consistent with working on art all week, i got about 30 hrs on my keep working timer this week. I feel like im getting more back in the groove of drawing daily. My consistency is good and thats probably half the battle.

Improvement?- Need to work on proportion for my figure drawing and perspective studies. daily design doodle could us work as well in thinking about the characters more. Try to delve a little deeper past your first initial thought. Maybe focus on the sketch and idea phase more then the color. Portraits are coming out to constrasty, need to focus on the big shapes rather then the small details. In my brain im equating more contrast = more rendered which is not the case. I need to bring back some of those mid tones so I can bring in those high contrast points as spots of accents, not one big black shape. Materials could use more work as well. I think i need to make more studies. Maybe thats something ill learn with time.

summary:

figure drawing proportions need focus

daily design doodle, work on the sketch more then focusing on painting

portraits are too high contrast, create more mid tones and then add points of contrast as accents. focus on the big shapes and not small details

Here's this weeks studies that i did. I think my design doodles got better and i started learning things more, did good on the figures as well. The still life study came out really good as well. I wanna try and do more metal still life material studies.

The composition I'm not sure about since I'm not applying much from what I've learned. I need to figure out next week how i can apply these studies. I have some stories in the making that I've written, maybe ill pull one of those stories and make a page of that every week. Same with anatomy, I need to do more applications.

I'll try and work on that this next week to see how i can do that better. My goal is to do character designs/ Character concepts. Next month I think im gonna take the designs that I like and refine the ones that I liked to see what I can do with that. I would also like to do a character line up based on one photo set. That way they can be more cohesive in building out a story.

I would also like to do comics, but that is more of a secondary focus.

A lot of stuff to focus on so I'll need to condense this. I'll make a short summary so I don't have to sift through notes like a crazy person.

Summary:

More metal still life studies or different materials. Good for learning lighting. (Just make a basic set up on desk to paint)

Apply compositions studies by taking your own stories and drawing them out. Make a page of a few thumbnails/ panels.

Apply Anatomy studies from imagination instead of just doing from ref all the time.

Refine the design doodles that I like next month.

Make a character line up of 3-5 characters based on one photo set.

Long time no see tumblr!

Im going to be changing up my tumblr for a different approach. I was inspired by old art forums like the crimson daggers where people would post their daily studies, WIP's, sketches and general daily/ weekly art progress. I thought I could change my tumblr to be something like that and make weekly posts on what im working on that week. I've already been drawing seriously for about 5 years, but i figured i still have a lot to learn. Ill be treating my tumblr more as my art journey rather then "portfolio" work (if you want to see my portfolio i have my artstation link in bio for that). This is more for seeing my progress in my art and seeing the real work that goes into drawing everyday. The good, the bad and the ugly!

This was my art week for 11.10.2025-11.14.2025

I worked on my 3 image daily design challenge, figures, perspective, anatomy, lighting and composition studies.

Ill be posting my daily draws for 11.17.2025 as well
