Day 13. I tried to follow a tutorial of a “chibi” drawing. How to say this… I drew for like 40 minutes and this is awful hhhh. In my “defense” I’m drawing copying but not tracing, which for me it’s harder than have a baby even tho I’m a man.
PS. Even tho it’s awful, I feel good because I erase some parts and drew different from the guide, even if it’s not a lot, even if end up even worse, because I can’t visualize images on my head so it’s hard just copying without just tracing on a layer under lmao
Don’t be afraid to use Undo (Ctrl+Z) or to use an eraser brush preset.
Some people spend most of their time using Undo or an eraser when they make a sketch.
Also, use multi-layer sketching, as shown in the tutorials.
Day 15, I got frustrated drawing the useless circle of the head of this chibi bs. At least I laugh with the “end result” lmao.
Even tho it looks that “I don’t finish anything” (which is completely true on most aspects of my life), I’m trying my hardest not on “doing every line perfect” but trying to do things on certain time given. I don’t know how to draw, But if I put time and effort on two months I could probably do ONE good drawing. But my end point is trying to stop this nonsense idea of being “perfectionist” because I’ll do ONE good drawing and then I will never draw anything anymore in my life.
Day 16. I feel bad mainly because if it wasn’t for the cancer my best friend would turn 20 years today. It has nothing to do with anything actually lmao. I just drew Idk what… I just drew, I don’t know exactly what it is… I thought of the shadow as a woman but the person being a man? the THING in his hand is not a bow, I think, idk, I just did some lines because I still have things to do and I’m really tired to try to learn-practice today.
Day 17. I had KIND of a busy day. I decided to “draw” a bubble tea, because I like the girl that works on the shop I go to buy my bubble tea. I actually asked her co-worker “excuse me, how does your co-worker is called?” (because she went out of the shop for a second) and she literally enters on the shop again, I was really embarassed but I asked her, she kinda laughed a little bit qwq. But her laugh is really cute so it’s ok.
Day 18. Again just doodles. Tbh these weeks I’ve been kinda depressed. I’m ok, but just not to much energy to do things (I’m also doing a really drastic calorie-deficit diet so maybe that adds up).
PS. I want to ask the bubble tea shop girl to go on a date but I’m not sure if it’s a good idea lol. There’s not a lot of bubble tea shops on Argentina, I feel really lucky to have one like within 10 blocks away lol. Anyways maybe I should ask her out in chinese, because I study chinese(?
Day 20, I tried to draw an umbrella, it was really fast. I don’t like how it end up “open” but I liked the closed version (even tho it’s kind of weird the proportion). These days I’m not drawing a lot of time because I’m busy, depressed or distracted. I’m feeling okay, I’m just really considering asking this girl out lol. I don’t practice piano since like 3 days ago. I should practice… Anyways! Here it is the umbrella!
Day 21 I had a really bad and sad day, nothing important happened but Idk… I just went to the tea shop and just bought a tea but didn’t said anything :c I kinda got nervous but anyways… I try to draw some “person” :c
The eyes are supposed to be on the horizontal centreline (as a general guide). You have them a bit high and what seems to be the centreline looks a bit high as well.
Probably, I’m copying (not tracing) and I think this drawing was with the eyes on top of the line. But I just probably got it wrong. Anyways thank you! I will try to notice this on future “drawings”. I just upload this day drawing and I can confirm that this image i’m following has the eyes under the line.
Day 24. I only drew this… I had like 8-9 hours of different classes… Also I asked out the girl on the tea shop and sadly she said no At least I asked her so I’m happy about that.
Anyways! Here’s the piece of NON PROFANITY WORD that I drew today.
Day 25. I actually like how this drawing end up even tho it’s awful hhh. It took me around 10-12 minutes. Idk how I feel, why do I write it? Idk tbh. I’m kinda upset because I need to send my digital piano to maintenance and it’s expensive so maybe I would have to wait a little bit more.
