in part i wanted to do this bc back in december I drew claude and I was super disappointed w the results so I vowed to redraw him much better someday

8 months later here we are LMAO 

for reference here’s the drawing im talking abt

while the parts seem okay, the whole feels very in-cohesive to me? also the hands LMAO

This took around 9 hours, but I did 8 of them in a single sitting because I have a tendency to forget to check deadlines!! It was due in 12 hours!! I was stressed!! This is probably the only drawing I think I’ll actually revisit because personally I think it needs a background. I wanted to put one in but by the time I finished shading, it was 5 am and I had my first class for the semester in 4 hours so I needed to sleep lol

Don’t do this. Seriously. Take breaks while working on massive pieces because not only will your eyes see more, your mind and body can do more too. My back was screaming in pain and when I put my pen down my entire hand would not stop cramping. Be safe with your art and take care of yourself!! I do not recommend this experience!! Seriously!!!!!
