I never draw before. So judge me if your boring lmao

Day 27. Idk I think I like this croquis. I just copy a croquis I found on the internet but I copied it in like 5 minutes and I think it’s pretty DECENT, not good, but at least not as awful as always.

PS: Ignore the hands(?

You are doing so well. Keep on enjoying the process and watching tutorials and looking at other people’s work and one day you will look back and think, “wow, I have come a long way!”

Day 30. I try to copy a cute drawing but realize that I don’t have enough time so I just try to drew fast and minimizing the use of the “undo”. It’s awful but It’s what I can do with this time lol

Day 31. I didn’t had a great day so I’m kinda tired. I tried to copy a flower but failed miserably in my attempt.

PS. If you wonder why I always copy, it’s not only because I’m really beginner and it’s good for me. My sense of proportion it’s awful. But also I have aphantasia which funny enough it means I can’t see any type of VISUAL imagery on my mind. I can “imagine” but not in the regular sense of images. But with sounds, feels and other sensory ways(? I know it doesn’t matter. I just think it’s funny lmao

Day 32. I took some time to draw this. Isn’t great but it was good enough for me today. It took me some time because I tried to use the stabilizer (after doing the first part), as I said Isn’t great. But ok.

Because repeated practice improves your ability. Looking at your sketches, I’d say it has so do keep practicing :slight_smile:

The main problem is not so much the drawings themselves but the strokes. They are still very stiff, but don’t worry, this is normal. To improve, focus more on doing stroke exercises, at least for a month. See more details here.

Note: the websites are in Brazilian Portuguese, but you can use Google to translate…

Day 35. I drew a DUCK. It’s not amazing but I’m happy, even tho I copied, It was just a lineart image, so I “made” the first sketch. Even tho isn’t great, and the proportions are kinda off in one part. But I like it!

Just the “Lineart” Layer

I WROTE LIKE 3 PARAGRAPHS AND EVERYTHING WAS DELETED AAAAAAHHHH
Anyways. Day 37, I’m actually REALLY happy about the outcome of this one! I drew 阿七 or 五六七 from the Donghua 刺客伍六七 (called “Scissor Seven” outside Mainland China) (it would be something like Assassin 567, or Assassin Wu LiuQi). I really like this show so I thought it was a good idea. My drawing it’s good for me, so, at least acceptable, I don’t dare to mirror this drawing and ending up killing myself looking at all the mistakes lmao. Even tho I copied an image, I did this all by myself, including the sketch part! It took me around 1:20hrs. It’s a lot I know, but at least I like it.
I also wrote the name of the show in the back because I study chinese so I thought it might look pretty cool, you guys let me know (I wrote it really fast to give that brush sensation)

PS: This has nothing to do but I might do a podcast (i’m not trying to promote myself, if I do would be in spanish and also would had nothing to do with drawing) I’m not sure, It’s nothing really guaranteed, but a friend of mine has a podcast, I told him I was interested in knowing more about the whole topic and he told me “I had an office where I record, if you want to do a podcast I can let you use the whole office and equipment no charge”. I mean I don’t really know if it’s a good idea but he’s sucessful so having the place, equipment and mentoring of someone who is already doing good on that area sounds like a good oportunity. There’s nothing written in stone but I just wanted to tell this to someone.

Thank you to all of you who are always so encouraging, maybe I don’t show that much gratitude but I just don’t know what to say!
