Struggled a lot with the down view today 😭 It’s definitely something I need to practice more.

But I really enjoyed coloring the other two, especially experimenting with the skin tones and shadows. 🤎

I really enjoyed drawing this one. I’m trying to get more comfortable with dynamic poses and figures instead of always staying in my comfort zone.

Slowly getting better, one drawing at a time 🤍

Not because I think I’m already good at it.

Not because I want to become perfect overnight.

And definitely not because I went to art school.

I’m self-taught. I’ve been drawing a little here and there for years, mostly manga and things I enjoyed, but I never really took the time to study drawing as a discipline.

Now, I want to be a true beginner again.

To actually learn the foundations: anatomy, proportions, hands & feet, dynamic poses, perspective, light & shadows, color, composition, environments, faces, expressions, movement…

I want to understand why a drawing works, not just copy what I see.

So this new sketchbook is going to be my little laboratory: studies, ugly sketches, experiments, mistakes, finished drawings, random ideas … everything.

I also picked up some new supplies at Boesner because I want to give myself the tools to really explore.

No pressure.

No pretending I know everything.

Just practice, curiosity, consistency, and a lot of drawing.

I’m self-taught, but I’m not self-limited.

This is the beginning. ♡

My favorite couple in Dragon Ball.

I wanted to redraw their beautiful story because I love them so much , they were such a big part of my childhood. 🥹

A love that is lasting and understated. 🤍

I still have a lot to improve technically, but I really love how the coloring turned out!

I’ll keep learning and improving. 🎨✨
