#ltd100

final day of boxes and i finished with 200 total, 31 today!!!! im quite happy with how the boxes look overall today, although some aren't great. i think it conveys a nice fluid motion along the line :D

i also drew some birdbrain fanart (although to be entirely honest the colored one isnt exactly original and although i dont think quite meets the requirements for tracing/copying, definitely comes close!

either way im happy with what i made, and do plan on switching to more drawings of people now that the boxes are finally done.

progress report:

day 5 - 30 boxes (+30)

day 6 - 70 boxes (+40)

day 7 - 120 boxes (+50)

day 8 - 152 boxes (+32)

day 9 - 169 boxes (+17)

day 10 - 200 boxes (+31)

for today i just drew miku :D im actually really really happy with how this turned out, particularly the shading. its not the best ever but its good and thats enough for me.

tmwr im gonna maybe draw the yellow one im not sure tho :3

for today, i did some line confidence training, some hands, a little rat guy :D, and some random human person and TETO!!!!!

Things to work on:

hands (WHY ARE THEY SO HARD TO DRAW D:

anatomy generally

color picking

line confidence

brush choice

Explaination/Info

basically i decided i want to learn to draw (for several reasons, mainly 1. i want to be able to make the things that appear in my head, 2. i want to be better than generative ai, and 3. i have friends who are incredibly good at art and are insanely skilled (like literally im in awe of them its crazy) and i want to be like them lmao)

i have been trying to learn to draw for a couple years now but i always loose motivation and feel bad about myself, so now i've decided to start this blog to both help me keep track of how i am doing and how i am improving, and also hopefully to inspire others who may be interested in learning to draw to get into it!

also i think some youtuber did a learning to draw in 100 days challenge thing but this isnt based on that

also i've decided to use "LTD" as an acronym for learn to draw, and #LTD100 as a label for the thing overall, if you decide to do the same as me, feel free to use this tag!

also please don't be mean :( i'm always open to CONSTRUCTIVE criticism but not super ecstatic about being made fun of.

today i drew a person :D

i think i did really well with the hand on the picture's right (the person's left) but couldn't get the other one to look good. (Thus it is cut off (its just a ball anyway)

the pose is fairly stiff unfortunately but its good that its anything other than a generic neutral pose.

i think i did alright with the hair but there's definitely room for improvement

the shading i did pretty good with i think

overall i did good, and i'm happy :D

also i found a brush that i actually like so that's nice (its like a hard round brush or something)

shout out to the index cards on my desk

i tried out a new style for the shading on this one, not sure if i'll maintain it, but it was definitely worth the try :]

things i want to improve on next:

facial expressions (mine are seriously lacking)

shading generally

hands

the character on the left is catto from @cattomeyn!! tysm to them, they made a great post explaining stuff around poses and drawing humanoid figures!! although i didnt really employ any of that knowledge in these drawings, i certainly will in the future.

to be fully honest the drawing on the right (in the green cape) was done a couple days ago. they're an OC for a project i've been working on recently.

the one on the left, i dont think i did geat with to be honest. in all fairness, it is like the first drawing i've done in a while so i think i can cut myself some slack there.

its very possible i'll post more later today if i feel like i have more motivation, but for now this is all :(

so sorry about the long break in posting :(((((((

anyway shameless promotion time:

i drew some poses

im probably gonna keep working on this for the next couple days
